I am using a Dell dual PII 450 with 256 meg ram and 11 gig drive with
windows 2000. TS2k SP5 works fine. Better than TS4 and certainly many more
features. I get DTN data real time via Satellite on about 14000+ symbols.
There are a few tiny bugs I can't even remember what they are. Historybank
supposedly is very poor quality. I try not to use it but it does fill in
gaps in data if something happens. I personally think it would work for
backtesting especially if you don't get into less than 60 minute charts. I
don't know what the upgrade cost is now. Try to deal with them.
The guys that are continuing to have problems with TS2k are not doing
something right. I did a clean install of Windows 2k and it works very well
with real time data, which is the real test. It worked fine with NT SP6 and
TS2k SP4c, but Windows 2k if a far superior OS than 95 or 98 or NT.

Subject: Is it safe to get TS2000?
When TS2000 came out, there were a bunch of problems and I
sent back my copy. Now that we're up to Service Pack 5, is it safe
to get it?
I'm mainly interested in using it for backtesting intraday data on
stocks (about 8000 of them). The 32K bar limit is a big problem for
that in TS 4.0 (which I have now). I also want to get some of the
additional EL functionality.
Is historybank working allright? As I mentioned, I'm only using it
for backtesting, so I would need intraday refresh data and daily
refresh data. Is there a fee for using historybank?
Any idea how much to upgrade from TS 4.0?
TIA,
Cash
