TDAmeritrade only does stocks...they don't do futures; so
StrategyDesk won't pull up the ES futures. How do you like
StrategyDesk otherwise? I've been using NinjaTrader for charts and
trades on TDA. When I tried StrategyDesk it seemed more difficult
to use than NT, perhaps because I don't know it as well as NT. The
other thing I noticed was the backtest results weren't quite as
good as NT's. I didn't try to isolate the problem.

Just an FYI,TD Ameritrade's rep told me they are learning new
software currently,and should be offering futures the next month or
2 in conjunction with their Think or Swim acquisition.

Infinity/Transact and they do a nice job.
