I second that. Multicharts can also connect to Rithmic and execute in a speedy fashion.
You will find it rather better than most external feeds, IMO.
We use TradeStation as an FCM and in the past connected it TS to many third parties.
Our best experience was with a platform called BlueWater Trading that integrated with TS directly.
It was 99% up time.
Thanks,

Thanks, Matt. My primary limitation is that I do not want to re-write the EasyLanguage strategies in another language. For now, the closer to the original testing platform and data source (TS), the better. Maybe. It depends on how many interconnectivty issues there are. And from the feedback in this thread, looks like I may have some.
So based on yours and ABCTG's response, I'm looking into Multicharts, also. That does look like a good option if the strategies translate and perform similarly to the way they do in TradeStation and it certainly can't hurt to try!
if you are using legacy EasyLanguage the chance is high that you won't have to do any modifications. If you are using OOEL you will have to try to substitute the functionality, which might not always be possible.

Thanks, I figured that would be the case. I do use OOEL for some things, but they are not critical to the logic of the strategy, so could probably be removed for Multicharts version.
I would be more than happy to facilitate your business or provide any help necessary.
My suggestion is to use @ABCTG coding services to adjust the code for Multicharts.
They may be minimal but I have customers who used him and all say he provides quality input.
If you want to discuss opening an account you may call us or email us.
Thank you,

Thanks, I think I'm good for now. I have a professional programmer/systems analyst background with many languages under my belt, so the coding is second nature. If I had time to re-write in C# or somesuch and test, I would do that. But... trying to take minimally disruptive path at the moment.

Not sure if you are still looking but there used to be a utility linking TradeStation automated strategies to Infinity AT order entry/execution it was called an order bridge. I would check and see if they still allow connecting that route I their fills are excellent
