Trade Station, Automated Trading

Does anyone know where I can find ‘an idiots guide’ (step by step instructions) on how to setup, backtest and execute a trading strategie using tradestation?

dose trade station use dealbook360 trading platform?

If you are with FXCM using TS2 take a look at the strat trader from fxcm its not TS2 but its pretty good for auto trading and backtesting. there is a good forum for the ST. I dont have the link but I have seen a code base site for TS2 its got custom indis and I think some strats. Look in the broker aid section on BP look for posts from Jason R about custom indicators.

Many thanks for your advise guys.

I have never been one for automated trading systems and I often find myself using ‘the force’ for some trades. I have been offered free programming from FXCM and want some ideas of how automating my trading will benefit me?

TS is good, apparently it’s backtesting is accurate.

however i still prefer mt4. most brokers are with them (i’m with ibfx and fxopen), so it’s easier to port indicators.
