John,
I'll stick by what I said and add, "for me", it's the best bang for the
buck. I couldn't agree more about using multiple platforms to cover
inadequencies of most programs.
As far as AIQ: been there, done that (although, it's been two years). It
didn't do it for me. I liked a lot of features, I invested way too much
time evaluating it. In the end, I was convinced that it was a tool that I
couldn't incorporate into our futures and equities trading.
Maybe I'm blinded by the fact that MS has helped me design, test, and then
successfully trade many different approaches to the markets. I know many of
my professional friends, some who even slum this list, run MS and
TradeStation.
I live seven miles from pavement, so, I don't get out much.
Sorry about the subjective opinion, at least my trading is totally
objective.
Take care,
Steve Karnish, CTA
