I also looked at QC/QF over the last few days. VERY interesting. I
don't know if/when QF will support the popular trading platforms, but
it occurred to me that a largely system-based trader could
conceivably chuck his TradeStation and write trading systems directly
using the QF data feed. Especially if the QF package includes any
decent charting &etc libraries.
I'm not sure how far back data is available, which is an important
issue for backtesting, but it does look promising.

That's pretty slow when you're used to flipping from one TS workspace
to another in a split second, but I suppose you could get used to it.

I suspect our friend MB might have something to say about that. :-)
