Anyone Use Sterling Pro

[ratrader 10]

I'm trying to dig into the Sterling Pro platform to see how suitable it is for for me trading and I'm not finding the doc on there site terribly useful so i thought I'd run through TL just to see if anybody has some experience with it and get the good, bad and other...

 

I currently use Tradestation, primarily because of the investment I've made in custom indicators (and because I am familiar with it). For doing a variety of day/scalp trades. As they are no where near perfect I primarily use TS for there charting and run enough trades through to not have to pay platform feeds.

 

What I have not seen in Sterling Pro is anything the equivalent to Bracket or other types of conditional orders. From what I have been able to pick up there support for automated trading is based on slower technology.

 

Again, if anyone has experience with the platform I would like to know what your experience has been and how you were using it (eg type of trading/security).

 

Thanks

I think that the ATG group still use Sterling and there is a video here that is of one of their guys using it for real-time day-trading.

 

I hope this helps

Thx Trader 333

 

Thanks... I'm hoping I can hear from someone that uses (or has used the platform) I had one person tell me that it is very robust but I don't see it. It seems to come with pre-built indicators and no ability to add/build custom indicators, I didn't see any OCO and (as best I can figure out) strategy/automated trading in via externals (using an API) which would seem to make the execution slower.

 

Where they do seem to have an advantage is in the order routing... they make it easy to select the routing.

 

So I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

 

Yhx again for the reply to this post and the others I've seen.
