I didn't follow the thread as to BobR's problem with Tradestation. But I
have been running Tradestation since 1993. Yes there are occasional
problems. The last one I had was a small TSR program that was causing a
crash. Once I isolated it no more problems. I run TS on a dedicated machine
and do little to change charts during market hours. It has been over a year
since I have had any problems. Overall I have found it to be crash free, if
I don't use the machine for anything else, and do the exotic experimenting
after hours. Since I run it 24 hours a day, I'd say my reliablity rate with
TS is well over 99%.
