Hmm...I bought a new machine in Feb, 350Mhz P-2 with 64 mb ram and WIN
98 installed. Have not noticed anything that I could complain about using
TS4. I follow all the CME index(RL,MD,SP,ND,ED) and currency contracts
(SF,EC, JY,BP) as well as the bond and most Ag contracts from the CBOT. If
TradeStation never got any better than what I have now and how it runs (with
10 workspaces and numerous charts open within each workspace), I would never
miss any supposed upgrade.
It would be my wish that all could have it so ez. Actually WIN 3.1 and
TS 3.1 worked just about as well, but the newer features in WIN 98 and TS
4.0 make life a little nicer but actually have no effect on my proprietary
indicators or the number of charts I have open. Plus I run my cablemodem
internet connection on the same machine concurrently when I trade.
