Excellent broker, a bit of learning curve with all the bells on it. Which it had a MAC version for the desktop app.

Would like broker token to last longer and smaller position size numbers for mobile version.

They solved the problem that I had, for me works very good technically, I only would need a self conversion on currencies

TradeStation lacks robust charting , so I use TradingView. But now even though I have paid for real time data, it is not synching. There are known issues w/TradeStation and TradingView not working well together-- true. Trades esp on short time frames not reliable. I will have to look for another options broker that plays well with TradingView or imports the TradingView charts to their site. Can't risk the amount of financial loss with glitches etc.

I really like the fact that TradeStation is a trusted US local broker. The service is also outstanding. Whenever I experienced issues, which were rare, I got a service call with a phone number that actually belongs to the service person handling my case. Which means, when I call back, I’m talking to the same individual. I can’t even remember any other service provider doing that. The only unresolved issue I’m still having is, my link to TradingView expires multiple times daily. I can easily renew the token. But more coherent account linking would be preferred. Other than that, I think it is top of its class!

I use tradestation with tradingview app. Tradestation is not intuitive as to making a trade, I can't set stop without setting a take-profit. I can't trade pre/after market, when I can on other platforms. It is hard to read and figure out profit/loss after the close of a stock.

Carnival May Be Sinking

CCL: Carnival May Be Sinking

Carnival sailed higher in the spring, but some traders may think the cruise-ship operator is sinking. The first pattern on today’s chart is the large bearish engulfing candle on September 29 after results and guidance surprised to the upside. Such a rejection of positive news may suggest investors were less optimistic about its fundamentals. Second, prices ended...

XLE: Energy ETF: Breakdown May Be Starting

The SPDR Select Energy ETF has been lagging the market all year, and some traders may think it’s going from bad to worse. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $90.34 level. It was the high on April 3, immediately after “Liberation Day.” XLE stayed below that level through September, when it tried to fill the gap. The attempt was unsuccessful, which may...

VRT: Vertiv May Have Broken Out

Vertiv was an early leader in the AI rally, and now it may be breaking out again. The first pattern on today’s chart is the January high of $155.84. The provider of data-center power and cooling products began October by breaking above that level. This week, it pulled back to test it. Has old resistance become new support? Second, prices wavered on either side...

TSLA: A Top for Tesla?

Tesla ended the third quarter on a strong note, but some traders may see risk of the EV maker stalling. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $463 price area. TSLA peaked at that level twice last December before reversing lower. Sellers appeared around the same level this month, which may confirm resistance is in place. Second, the rejection day featured a...

MSFT: Microsoft May Be Moving Again

Microsoft has been snoozing since the summer, but some traders may think the tech giant is ready to start moving again. The first pattern on today’s chart is the pair of bullish gaps following quarterly results, which may reflect positive sentiment. Second is the August 15 weekly close of $520.17. MSFT slipped under that line in the second half of August and...

MS: Pullback in Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley recently hit a new high, and now it’s pulled back. The first pattern on today’s chart is the advance between September 5 and September 23. MS retraced half that move before bouncing, which may confirm its direction remains to the upside. Second, prices held the rising 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). The 8-day EMA has also stayed above the...

3-Signal Directional Trend Strategy for E-Minis
ES1!: 3-Signal Directional Trend Strategy for E-Minis

This is a conceptual strategy intended for E-mini S&P 500 futures with hourly bars. It uses three signals, going long or short when two or more change in the same direction. First is MACD. A positive oscillator is considered a bullish signal and a falling oscillator is interpreted bearishly. Next, stochastics are used as an overbought/oversold indicator....

MSFT: Bars Since MA Cross Can Help Trend Following

Moving average crosses are popular signals for trend followers. Like many conditions, they tend to reverse after a certain amount of time. Today’s script is designed to help traders visualize and interpret these turns. Bars Since MA Cross counts how many bars have passed since a fast-moving average crossed a slower MA. Bullish readings, with the faster MA above...

RSI Past Can Turn RSI Into a Directional Tool
AAPL: RSI Past Can Turn RSI Into a Directional Tool

The Relative Strength Index was created by J. Welles Wilder to measure overbought and oversold conditions. It’s also found popularity as an overall measure of direction because upward-trending stocks often hit overbought conditions. The opposite can be true with underperformers. Today’s custom script, RSI Past, attempts to capture this secondary use of RSI as a...

2 MA Ratio Can Help with Moving Averages
TSLA: 2 MA Ratio Can Help with Moving Averages

Many technical analysts use moving average crosses to assess trend changes. A faster-moving MA crossing above a slower-moving line may be viewed as a bullish signal. The opposite can apply to the downside. While these methods may help analyze price direction, they can often force traders to wait until the cross occurs. Sometimes it may be useful to anticipate the...

How Old Is this Bull Run Getting? Check MA Test Bars Since
SPX: How Old Is this Bull Run Getting? Check MA Test Bars Since

There are many price-based techniques for anticipating the end of a move. However, the simple passage of time can also help because bull markets don’t last forever. While old age doesn’t necessarily cause investors to sell, a reversal becomes more likely the longer a trend lasts. So, how long have prices been going up? There are various ways to measure that. Our...

MA Streak Can Show When a Run Is Getting Long in the Tooth
SPX: MA Streak Can Show When a Run Is Getting Long in the Tooth

Moving averages are one of the most common indicators in the world of technical analysis. And they’re often the ingredients of more complex indicators like MACD. Today’s script shows how long prices have been moving in a given direction. Similar to our earlier Price Streak script, MA Streak counts the number of sessions that the average is rising or falling.
