You should of course do whatever you want to and that of course will
depend on what's important to you. I was a TradeStation user for a
long time. TS3, 4, 5 & 2000i were all good products but when they
made the jump to TS7 they were more interested in being a brokerage
company then providing a development platform. Personally I am more
interested in having a great development platform then a great
trading platform and in that regard AB has it all over TS. Even if
AB weren't as feature rich as TS ( which it is ) then I simply can't
get beyond the fact that AB is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude faster.
