Hi Mjs720,
 
<FONT face=Arial

Earl says it best here. Think about the markets you want to 
trade,  the time frames you'll be using the software on (trading intraday, 
End of Day, tick.), and what you want the software to do for you. Once you 
answer those questions, it'll be easier to find something that fits you and your 
style.  
Hope this helps,
Jason.

  My apologies for responding so late to your request for information on TS2Ki. 
  My advice to you would be to first determine whether you actually need 
  Tradestation at all.JA> Tradestation is good software to use if you're 
  going to do a lot of backtesting on historical data, but if you simply want to 
  code your own indicators and trade off of them there are manyJA> 
  software programs out there that are much more reliable and with better 
  customer service that will do the trick. Tradestation 2000i is not the most 
  reliable software out there. It's ratherJA> notorious in the trading 
  community for the many bugs it contains. Buying a copy of this would be the 
  equivalent of buying a car that was a lemon, because it never ran correctly in 
  the firstJA> place. JA>   If you do decide that 
  you need to use Tradestation, be sure to acquire a copy with a good forever 
  pass word, run Win2k or XP (with NTFS file format), and make sure you have at 
  least 512k ofJA> RAM, and update to Service Pack 5. JA> If 
  you're looking for historical Forex data, which can be hard to find, you might 
  want to contact Iavor at <A

  (no affiliation, just satisfied customer)  He gave meJA> a great 
  deal of help when I was using this software in formatting my Global Server to 
  accept Forex data. JA> Hope this helps and if you 
  have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.JA> 
  Best,JA> Jason.-- Thank
