Prop firms for overnight trading, and for TradeStation?
As I grow as a wannabe quant trader, I realize NT8 (what I'm currently using) is not optimal for system building, backtesting, and execution.
TradeStation seems to be a much better alternative all around.
However I'm on NT8 because I'm playing the prop firms game on futures and wish to get funded. I haven't yet found any firm that offers TradeStation as a platform for evaluation and trading the funds.
1- Is anyone aware of one or a few that do offer TradeStation as a platform?
2- And is anyone aware of future prop firms that allow overnight trading ?
I have not seen anything about a firm that uses TradeStation to evaluate traders. I know that Topstep, for instance, specifically says that they don't. This may be because TS does not provide the data feed for a prop firm to use, since they have their own order routing system. Many of the firms use Rithmic for this purpose, which has this capability.
I hope someone can answer this question and the one about overnight trading. I believe most or all are oriented to day trading, but there are so many now and there are so many different quirks between them. I am not familiar with any.

I can't comment on 2 but as a prop firm, I can answer 1. TradeStation does not partner with prop firms at the moment. I wish they did though, I used their platform personally and it's pretty good.
It’s their Diamond Hand product you’re looking for. Personally I am funded with Apex, and do not use this vendor so I am unable to share any experience.
