Alex,
wrong about WL, you can do close to anything with the desktop version, even more with the new 5.0 .net version. The online version is sufficent for those who trade EOD and don't even want to bother about data.

Not a problem; the syntax is efficient. The problem is, do you
need to write all your overhead handling functionality (like with
WealthLab) or is it done for you (like in TradeStation).

Execution platform with an open interface so you can develop
customized software for it. I've done some interesting Excel
experiments with IB.
Someone else in this thread also mentioned MultiCharts "feeling" like an
upgrade to TS2000i. Lifetime license costs $900 from
