I have been following this thread for a while.
For what it's worth, there is a company, Titan Analytics (no affiliation) in
Nanaimo, BC, that sometime back was developing an TS add-on to do just that
(real-time Virtual Trader). I am sure it would have been in the $500-$1000
range.
I would like to graph and summarize orders intra-day, and changing the dates
and times in the system would be cumbersome and impractical as I trade.
Does anybody know if Trade Station could for that purpose read an Excel
spreadsheet, let's say, where date, time, price could be entered as the
(discretionary) orders are placed?
