Couldnt agree more! But how do you make the hotkey for scrolling on a chart "alt+arrow" instead of ctrl+arrow? Also matrix scrolling is a pain specially when you struggle to put in order quick!

It's a good system. Easy Language is about as is easy as it could get but still be extremely powerful. There really aren't many alternatives either. The integrated broker-platform definitely has advantages (and disadvantages). My big issue is it could be so much better and they don't seem to care. It's like they are happy/complacent just maintaining ten plus year old software as long as they continue to make money.

I been with TradeStation for over a year now. I havn't had any issues with them. Some minor ones, but my account manager took care of them. As for the options trading, I am managing a full options portfolio on the indexes. I havnt had any issues with quotes from their options chains. The execution has been fast and I have been getting some really good price improvements.

I have also been a user for over 20 years. I think Mike Burke has recently retired.
The platform may be old, still using 32-b, but with many advanced features, is efficient and fast enough and functioning well for me. I use it everyday without much trouble. I have not had any need to contact customer support for years now. Besides their excellent charting, I also use EasyLanguage for strategy backtesting and auto trading. As far as I know, still the best platform available to retail traders like me.
They also have a TradingApp Store which sounds interesting but I have not explored about what good tools they have available for free or subscription ...

That's great.
Overall, fees is a minor consideration when compared to benefits and alternatives. I like TradeStation's trade automation. I can have multiple strategies applied to different symbols trading in different time frames at the same time. TS also makes available various bar types that I can trade -- daily, minutes, seconds, range, tick, kagi, renko, etc. If there is a better trading platform than TS that allows me such flexibility and diversification, I would like to know. Thank you.
there is a built-in indicator called "VWAP (Estimated)" that might do what you have in mind. Cumulative Delta is not directly available unfortunately as a built-in indicator.
