We work with TS as well, and we have members use them. I am not sure who has been "aggressive" with you, but we would help if you want us to. PM me if necessary.

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
No one was aggressive with me. This was probably false phrasing by me.
I refered to "No Software Fees · Free Market Data · Free Premium Tools" on their website with that.
That is not "agresive selling". Most of the platforms available require payment for the platform itself, then for the datafeed. Those are monthly expenses that may put additional preasure on any young trader. With TS you can add money to your account and trade whenever you want. They will be there, waiting for you, without any additional expenses. Its up to you.
As it seems, those additional costs are required to have the exact unfiltered data.
In my case this is mandatory to stick to the trading plan of logical causalities. Thus the psychological pressure 'to trade because of expenditures' is equalized.

Just so we are all on the same, I believe that the "filtered" data is actually "coalesced" data. What this means is that if there are fifty single lot trades at the same price within microseconds, it gets reported as one fifty lot trade and not fifty one lot trades. Assuming that is the case, I'd be surprised if this makes a difference to anybody using TS. Note that this is a feature of the CME data feed and not a TS quirk. Also this is not the same as some "other" equity brokererage firms whose filtered feed may not include every trade.
I'm not trying to sound stupid but do you guys think tradestation is hurting or might be slowly going out of business with all the drastic changes in the last year or two.

In case you don't know I'm a career full time trader and in my 'trading business' I use TT. I clarify that to make it clear where I am coming from. I am also though trying my hand at systematic trading and have a Tradestation Account. EasyLanguage is an amazingly easy thing to program in. Tradestation is an amazingly easy platform to use. Personally though I think it's very buggy with some very questionable issues and I would not be prepared to trade anything like the volume or risk that I put through TT through it. Having said that, from the evaluation I have done, it's the best option out there for systematic trading. So as much as I would love to change a long list of things about Tradestation I'm curious why do you think it's a sinking ship? (Should probably have checked CFTC Broker Segregated Funds Reports before asking that - but it's late)
