Re: TS2ki feeds & tools for auto-trading?

I use IB and trade e-mini S&P and NASDAQ futures. I switched to hands free
auto trading and am impressed with the speed an accuracy. My setup is IB +
Tradebolt + TS6.  They say its compatible with TS7 also, but I'll wait and
see how TS7 turns out before switching to it.

My trading is totally hands-off with zero problems. I have tradebolt set to
close out my positions at the end of the day.  I have traded over 200
contracts (real trades) since using it. My TS charts the @ES (continuous
contract) but I have tradebolt setup to substitute the ESM3. The nicest
thing about auto trading is it greatly reduces my psychological stress of
pulling the order trigger.
