I would not trade anything in TS: it is the worst piece of
software I have seen. Why would anyone put any money into something
that could crash on a dime?
TS can have issues with tick data causing it to freeze if one
uses a lot of tick and renko type charts. In my observation if one
uses standard minute and daily charts it's fine.
I know plenty of traders who day trade stocks with it just fine
and they would not tolerate freezes if it occurred to them.
So for that stuff it's fine
Yes, TS version 10 frequently decides to refresh its data at
random, and the entire application freezes for a half an hour at a
time. Good luck doing a trade at that time.
Again I know plenty of traders who are trading for pennies, they
might buy 10 or 20K shares of a $10 stock at $10 and sell it for
$10.03, 3 pennies, fast execution is paramount, if they had any
pauses or freezes would cost them 1000's, it doesn't happen to them
with stocks trading 5 min charts.
again guys Junkie has all sorts of exotic chart types,
indicators, systems that are prone to freezing, which again is a
Problem
for those of you trading minute charts, or options there will
not be an issue.
