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.
