Most of what you are referring to is available in TradeStation5 (Active X
controls, DLL's, COM interfaces, Internet programming and the like.)
For the moment, the only trading software that you can use is TS4.

TS5 is not available, TradeLab no more, DayTrader  Prto: same status.
Once all of this will be released, it will be time to speak of things that
really exist.
For the moment, it's not the case.

Only TS4 for most of us, and SC for Earl Adamy.

That's amazing to see that the fault is ALWAYS due to the language and never
to the end user.

NB: Unlike one may believe, VB is still unable to stiff egg whites.
