Matt, Its good that you are developing Swing systems. Please
keep in mind that systems like TradeStation make it difficult to
use two different strategies on the same stock. So if we were doing
end of day strategies on SRS, SKF, FAZ and SSO, it would be nice to
use some different stocks for the Swing systems, Have you looked at
QLD for example. Thanks for all the good work, ... Joel
you can open two accounts at TS or open an account at IB and
send the TS signsals there. Its worth having two accounts
anyway because you can have one with per share commissions and one
with per-trade, which makes low priced stocks much less expensive
to trade. And also lets you easily trade one symbol with two
systems in different time frames, whether one is a swing system or
not. As Robin says, you need 25k per account to do it.

jlevinthal - just want to point out that one way around the
rules at TS is to have 2 accounts. Of course they must both be
funded with the minimum 25K so this may not be a solution for
everyone, but don't lose sight of the option if you have the
resources.
