Peter,
You are right. Their "ad" was a little "over the top" for this list. I
personally don't mind a few plugs from vendors if they help me do my job. I
do understand the dilemma of where to draw the line. In any event, I thought
I would repost something I put on the list earlier on this product. It may
not be my "best tool in the bag" but it is in the top ten.

ATTENTION SHOPPERS:
I have used this software for the last 2 months as a beta user.
I have been doing some system development that requires optimizing many
markets across several models.
The old TS way would be to optimize each market one at a time and save each
set of results by copying the results and pasting to excel or printing. As
you know, this requires baby-sitting the software waiting for each market
run to complete, saving the results, and then to start it on another. VERY
TEDIOUS .
TS Trades acts like a shell or macro that sits on top of Tradestation. You
instruct it on which data you want to analyze, which models you want to run,
and which parameters you want to optimize. You hit "run" and can walk away.
Watching the screen you see TS Trades execute the same keystrokes you would
if you were doing it yourself--like a macro. Results for all are saved. It
has capability to combine results into a single equity curve. I have not
used that.
I find this an invaluable tool in my research arsenal. It allows one to
easily evaluate multiple models across multiple markets. If you do that
type of research, I strongly recommend it. I suggested this to Bill Cruz
years ago. I am still shocked that Omega has not added this capability. I
remember fondly being able to optimize many markets in a single batch in
System Writer!
Usual disclaimer--no affiliation or incentive to promote.
