Tradestation Data Fee

[ptop 10]

Hello Everyone,

 

First off I have to say this is a great forum and looks to have a great community of traders.

 

My question is about tradestation and their data feed, I am currently using IB for a broker and data feed and will stay with them and am looking to open an account with tradestation for the charts, If I already pay for data feed from Ib do I have to pay for it again through tradestation? I remember some time ago if you paid for L2 at one firm you didn't have to pay at the second firm and am wondering if it is the same with data fees?

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Cheers

no data fee w/ ts if you do the minimum # trades through their platform. Fixed rate for CME futures

You could also plug the IB data into Multicharts. No need to pay for Tradestation or a new data feed. Just the one-time fee of MC. Since you just want the charts, this is probably your best bet.

Thanks trader273 but there is a bunch of paintbar studies I want to use with tradestation. Quick ? does multicharts have playback?

 

Thanks

No playback through MC. You can do paint bars in it though. Only paints bars on a bar chart not a candle chart though.
