Woke up this morning to an email from TradeStation that very vaguely said they were transferring all accounts of over to Oanda and you would now have to use their Shitty, non-automated platform instead, but you could still use the TradeStation platform for FREE (OH YAYYYY!!!) Forever on SIM... Who cares!
So, to find out exactly what that meant I decided to get a hold of their live chat people... Turns out for whatever reason, come March 1st TradeStation will no longer be servicing Forex accounts PERIOD. Oanda is taking over the roughly 2000 accounts, which is way less than I thought they would have.
I've emailed the creator of the robots to find out what his solution is and he says he's got the robots already made for MetaTrader 4 and he is testing them to find out if they are exactly the same now...
After having taken as long as I have to get used to TradeStation, I really love it. It just feels like a well crafted machine with lots of useful bells and whistles... At least with TradeStation I know I have the option of getting email alerts and having it actually work....
This has been a ridiculously long and frustrating experience... From taking months to actually get the details to these robots, to actually purchasing them, to getting them running correctly (Thanks to an error made by the seller), to testing them on sim and realizing there are problems... to finally being ready to put a real $20,000 account to use.... and finding out that literally the month I want to go live with them, the platform they are created for won't be usable anymore...
Here is Scott's video update. Good news either way.
