Hi all.. I've lurked a bit, but this comment brought me out of the woodwork.. I'm a 100% mech trader.. Real platform? Not sure what you're doing with metattrader that TS can't do, but then I don't use metatrader.. For me it's pretty simple -it's about practicality - a case of using whatever makes profit. I use TS (ts2000i) and swear by it - it's an autotrading wet dream as far as I'm concerned - I can't see any reason to even look at Metatrader. But I imagine it has the same capabilites, mostly. I have no reason to love or hate metatrader, or any other software - although I hate the TS8 subscription model. Quite frankly I see people getting hung up on their favourite this, that and other.. markets.. software.. brokers.. indicators.. What IS important, is that anyone using software to implement rule based trading stands a much better chance - be it metatrader, TS, wealthlab, even some kind of excel macro - whatever. The software is simply the tool - it's up to the craftsman to produce the goods!
