TradeStation Conversion

I have been a TradeStation user for many years. I have been poking around for an alternative trading platform/brokerage firm. One of the issues I have is that I don't want to make my EasyLanguage programmer (my wife) have to learn a new programming language. Another is that I make extensive use of the strategy optimization features of TradeStation in order to develop a strategy. Specifically, I export the TradeStation Optimization Report into Microsoft Excel for further analysis in order to make trades that are based upon a quantifiable level of statistics.
I looked at Infinity, which uses its own AT Charts (Sierra Charts). The optimization features aren't there. So, before I jump from the frying pan into the fire, I would like to see what anyone thinks about the extent and utility of strategy optimization efforts for NT. Thanks to anyone that replies.

Why not try Multicharts?

Also, there are tools that you can use with Tradestation, to send trades to other brokers. I have done that, using Ninja as the conduit.

Even if you stick with Easy Language, I don't think your options are as limited as you think.

Agreed.

Also, You can even use multiple data feeds for different instruments.
TradeSation also connects to OEC Trader https://futuresonline.com/includes/pdf/AutoX.pdf
