“For starters, how about a chart where the x axis is NOT time? How are
you going to do that in TS? Then there's the 3-D charts, and other
charts where you can visualize information in ways that you can only
dream about in TS.”
Reading back a little further in this chain, you’ll see that we all agreed
that TS was not Matlab charting. We aren’t really talking about charting
because if you’ve systematized your trading then charts aren’t really that
nec. Obviously, TS was not meant to be a mathlab charting package and if
you needed that you shouln’t have even considered. Bad investment on your
part. If you need 3-D charting for your trading, TS is not the platform for
you.
Also, could you explain how you’d get server data into Mathlab. UMDS?
Bloomberg? How much would bloomberg cost? Also, how would your system
would be auto monitored and backtested in Mathlab? The power and flexibilty
you get for the price, TS still can’t be beat.
