Carlos:
Here are some simple notes from my use of both ts 4 and 5 (2000i). I like
to use both and find 4 to be the most dependable for trading, but I like the
redundancy of having both (and multiple computers with 5). 5 is the better
for testing most feel, as it does not have the 13,000 bar limit and is much
better for writers without the old extremely restrictive 64k limit. I use a
large ascii file with a continuous contract of spoos for testing and
monitoring long term results (which was constructed by knitting together
contracts exported from the data window of 5m charts and into two wordpads).
It is 28 months long now and has >48,000 lines of data. Testing of the
entire data at once is much easier than trying to combine results from
multiple contracts or groups of contracts in ts4. The performance reports
in 5 are much more sophisticated as well, and the charting of the equity is
an improvement. All in all, I like using both. I am using 6 also (TSPro)
for data redundance, but have been disappointed, like most, about the long
delay in futures delivery to the program.
I hope this helps: it is far from comprehensive: just some personal opinions
on some of the basics of the programs.

Hi I am a 4.0 long time user. For whatever the reason I have lately gotten
the bug to suddenly own 2000i. If my main objective is testing I have been
told that 4.0 was definitely the best. Anyone have any comments on this.
Also, what about charting and speed can someone comment on this as far as
the comparison to 4.0, I seem to here horror story on this list as it
pertains to 2000i. Also, one of the reason for the 2000i itch is the radar
screen product since I am now after 6 years of future's trading decided to
start trading stock also. Does it compare to First Alert? Has anyone had any
experience with first alert that they would care to share on.
Thanks,
CJ Carlos
PS Anyone out there have or know of someone that wants to get rid of their
2000i product. I would greatly appreciate any help here. According to list
rules this part of my question should probably be addressed to me
personally. Thanks Again.
