Greetings Traders:
There is not stability issue with TS2000i with OS Window 2000 Professional.
Likewise, I have no crash at all for the past two years. As long as care is
given enough to opening and closing of the Global Server. TradeStation
2000i is very good in handling my Hang Seng Futures trading and FX trading.
Although I have never used TS4 for trading, but I believe TS4 is even more
stable than TradeStation 2000i
Have a good one
Jeff Harteam

Subject: support for 2000i
Hello ,
https://www.tradestationworld.com/discussions/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10336&pollr
esults=1
ts 2000i users may want to vote on this.
Poll Question:
I need to think about what to do at the end of the year when
tradestation 2000i will no longer be supported. I feel more strongly
than ever that a real trader needs a good data feed from a dish, a
reliable charting package, and a separate computer for order entry
with two different clearing firms and order entry platforms. This
cannot be combined into one package like tradestation 7. Yesterday a
friend with tradestation 7 came over to trade with is laptop and I was
able to compare tradestation 7 with my tradestation 2000i and the dtn
feed. There was no comparison. I was getting all the ticks. He was
getting a summary. His charts were incomplete and untradeable with the
approach we were using. We were both using 600 tick bars and I was
always several bars ahead. My indicators were nice and clean, his were
all choppy from missing data. All the stuff on his screen was a real
distraction. Charts were small with the order entry on screen. He had
four monitors on his home setup. I keep my order entry on a separate
computer. Tradestation probably feels that all the bells and whistles
will entice novice traders but it just distracts from real trading.
Tradestation 4 was more than adequate. I've found tradestation 2000i
with windows 2000 to be very stable. I've had no crashes except when
dtn makes a change and a patch is needed. If anyone else feels the way
I do we need to band together to get tradestation to continue support.
I don't care about the money they want for tradestation 7. I would be
willing to pay a fee for annual support. That's what the old computrac
used to do. I think they had a $300 yearly fee for support and
upgrades. Maybe if all 2000i users went on a campaign of writing to
Mr. Cruz they would reconsider stopping support. If they don't I will
switch to ensign or aspen graphics at the end of the year. I will not
"upgrade" (really a downgrade in my opinion) to tradestation 7. If
they paid me the monthly fee I would not use tradestation 7. If you
have any thoughts on what to do to keep support please let me know.
Does anyone know a way to contact Mr. Cruz directly? He used to be
reachable by phone in the old days. Now I can't even find an email
address for him.
Thanks
