After listening to the newsletter, I agree with your concern or
problem since I also live in Canada.There are several Canadian
traders at this website.
I would love to sign up for Tradestation but they don't take
Canadians. One would have to us Interactive Broker and Ninjatrader
to do automated trading. Matt and Steve, any suggestions for IB and
Ninjatrader?
Does anyone know the price for a TS non-brokerage account? (I
know some Canadians who could benefit from this). I
haven't been able to find this on the Tradestation site, and I
think many here would benefit from hearing this answer, in case
anyone knows it off hand. I've heard it's a few hundred bucks a
month, but I'm not sure.
I emailed Tradestation and was told the cost would be
$250.00 USper month for plateform use.
Basically,
Canadians can use the
platform but can't execute tradeswith them unless your
trading futures. (Don't ask why......)
Most of the systems are quite basic and executeable by
Ninja/Interactive Brokerscombination. (In addition
there are many Ninja programmers to help with automation).
However, if Matt's future premium content systems become more
complicated it may be more feasible for us Canadians to purchase a
Multichartplatform outright rather than pay TS a
monthly fee. (Looked on site and MC is compatible with TS EASY
LANGUAGE.)
lpwise- the problem is that we are going to be releasing
indicators and MA's with parameters that are not available on ninja
trader. As an example in the future we will have systems that
use say MA's type 5 and 7 with lag settings of -3.5 and 0.75 and
gapless, you won't be able to duplicate those in ninja.
I trade a lot of systems that don't list here because they use
custom indicators and settings that are not available anywhere and
thus you can't duplicate them.

I believe you can purchase the platform without an account. It's a bit pricey, but if you end up making a lot more oney - then why not.
Does anyone know the price

I've sent an email off to my broker - I'll post once I hear back. Just in case nobody has an answer off the top....
