I switched to TS8.2, Build 3863 some time ago and find more bugs than in the
previous Build, e.g. saved settings for alerts go back to old settings after
reopening TS, you get a blank space to the right of the last bar if you
squeeze the chart too fast, "background dragging" icon doesn't work
properly, etc., etc.
Reloading, which used to be very fast, now takes sometimes up to 10 min with
only a week of data provided (not enough for my studies) and"data pending"
indication.
Regarding mutual funds, I used CSI data for some time to feed to TS in ASCI
format until I found out that adjustments were delayed for up to a month
until they received the information from the funds and that was too late for
me.

Subject: Re: TradeStation 8.2
I switched to TS8 long ago and trade futures with TradeStation. It
works fine. Fills on the eminis are very good. Calls to the trade desk
are answered promptly and they are great at fixing the occasional
trade issue.
There are a great many new features since 2000i.
The new builds tend to have bugs as TradeStation does not seem to
understand modern QC practices so I usually wait a few weeks before
switching to a new build. (I may be unusual as I tend to use pretty
complex code.)
I am still at 8.1 Build 3264. I have heard that there are bugs with
the new 8.2 build and I do not need any of the new features so I
haven't switched.
Data is very good and I almost never see a bad tick.
I wish they would allow us to adjust mutual fund and ETF prices for
distributions, but other than that, I use their data exclusively.

Hi all,
I have been using 2000i since it was in a beta form,
but am considering looking into setting up and account
with TS and running 8.2.
Can you please provide information that would help me
to decide.
1. How is the software platform? Is it functional or
riddled with bugs?
2. Any issues with data (speed, bad or missing ticks
etc.)
3. How is the brokerage in terms of filling trades at
the available market prices?
Anything else you can think of.
Thank you in advance
