I am with Dennis on this. I have found that I can do anything I need to do with TradeStation. You can even trade up to 50 symbols if you keep track of the portfolio arithmetic yourself.

Nonsense. The results shown by TradeStation are exactly correct. If you are getting what you feel are incorrect values, you must not understand how it works.
It does make simplifying assumptions to make it easier to use and these are documented. If you don't like the built-in assumptions, you can easily add code to measure anything you feel you need.
