Dennis at Trading Solutions Support -

You seem to clearly understand the issues with Tradestation automation.  The
not-quite-done product you describe is very much along the lines necessary.
You can count me as an interested party.  I have a few questions about it:

1.  Would it be usable with Tradestation 6 and 7?

2.  How does it deal with the problem of the strategy receiving a tick
beyond a stop price and assuming that the stop order was filled when it was
not.

3.  Could this product talk to Tradestation Securities (where my account is
at the moment)?  If not, what brokers could it talk to?

4.  Assuming the system remains online, will your product definitely, always
"catch up" and be aware of your brokerage positions?    How long is the lag
time?

5.  How do you keep Tradestation from shutting down the strategy during the
lag time?

6.  How much interest do you need to complete the product, and what price
point are you thinking of?

7.  Can you use a Beta tester?  (email me)

BTW, to those eager to laugh at the notion of a completely unattended
money-making-box, I think it is pretty amusing myself.  This is not what I'm
talking about, folks.  But I very much want and believe in the notion of a
product that CORRECTLY runs multiple automation strategies, much faster than
I could by hand and across many more instruments - all while I loosely
superintend it with a fraction of my attention.   If you don't believe in
this, then you don't believe in the real world - because well financed firms
use such products of their own in-house development every day.   Thay are
your (our)  competition.  It's high time that individual traders are able to
automate their strategy execution as well.
