Feature Tour: EasyLanguage^®

Only TradeStation®2000i gives you the ability to create your own signals, indicators and strategies using everyday language. When TradeStation Technologies first pioneered the concept of developing and back-testing custom trading strategies, we also created EasyLanguage, which lets you describe your trading ideas using everyday trading terms and English-like statements. Up until then, the ability to create computerized trading strategies belonged exclusively to software programmers and institutional money managers. With EasyLanguage, you don't need to be a computer wizard to create your own trading strategies in TradeStation 2000i.

With TradeStation 2000i's EasyLanguage, you'll be able to create your own signals and trading strategies to test. We've included pre-written templates, plus an EasyLanguage Dictionary with hundreds of pre-written functions including a "Define" feature.

PowerEditor. Using EasyLanguage and the PowerEditor^®, you'll be able to customize many of the features of the program to fit your particular needs. You'll have the tools you'll need to create your own strategies from scratch. Or, you can use over 300 built-in functions and formulas as building blocks that you can cut, paste and combine to create your own strategies. The intelligent PowerEditor will even automatically color code your trading terms by category so you can easily distinguish the different condition. And, the PowerEditor also includes a multi-file search feature and quick reference guide to EasyLanguage words and functions.

The World Standard. EasyLanguage is the world standard trading language. Many of the world's top strategy developers use TradeStation 2000i and the flexibility of EasyLanguage to create and test their own strategies. In fact, EasyLanguage is so widely recognized that trading publications even publish the exact EasyLanguage terms and statements for many of the strategies they review so that readers can try them for themselves.

With the flexibility of EasyLanguage, your only limit is your imagination. Add to this the ability to test your strategies and you'll begin to see what separates TradeStation 2000i from the ordinary trading tool…

Feature Tour: Strategy Testing to the Tick Level

With TradeStation®2000i, you'll have detailed data to see right down to the tick level. Now independent traders have the ability to test trading strategies using this precision and realism. Why is this so important when developing and testing your trading strategy? Because the more precise and realistic your simulations are, the more likely it is that a historically successful strategy could prove successful in the future:

With TradeStation 2000i, you'll be able to look at every trade within a bar and know what happened. And, only TradeStation 2000i can look at the exact order of the trades that occurred during the bar. That way you can determine which entry order would have actually been filled first.

Here are just two examples of Strategy Testing to the Tick Level:

Let's say that you're testing a trading strategy that generates a buy stop order at 100. TradeStation 2000i doesn't just simulate a fill at 100 when the market crosses that price. It is actually capable of looking to see if any trades occurred at that price. If it didn't, your order is filled at the closest price above 100 at which the market actually traded, and therefore gives you a more realistic and reliable testing result.

Now, let's say that you're testing a strategy that generates two entry orders on the same day: one a buy stop order at 100 and the other a sell stop order at 98. And the range for that particular day was 97-101. If both price points were hit in a single day, without Strategy Testing to the Tick Level, there's no way to know for certain if you were short or long at the end of the day.

Feature Tour: HISTORYBANK.COM^®

And, you even have the ability to set alerts on your indicators and drawing tools.

Just look at some of the unique analysis features you'll have at your fingertips:

Built-In Indicators. You'll have a library of market indicators to assist you in forecasting the market’s direction and in making decisions. In addition, all of TradeStation 2000i's indicators include an Expert Commentary that you can view simply by clicking on a bar. This learning tool highlights and explains just what is happening on your chart at each bar.

PaintBar™ Studies. This analysis feature evaluates the price data in your chart to determine whether or not a certain condition is true by painting a different color the bars. This enables you to view when the market is in a certain mode. For example, you can paint the bars one color when the slow moving average is above the fast moving average and another when the opposite is true. TradeStation 2000i includes 16 built-in studies, and you can create your own using EasyLanguage.

ShowMe™ Studies. This analysis study reveals potentially important market patterns by "marking" certain bars with a colored dot whenever a certain condition is true. This enables you to view the frequency and consequences of certain market conditions. For instance, you could ask TradeStation 2000i to mark every bar where the volume was 30% greater than the average volume of the previous 20 bars. And you'd see the results in seconds--for every single bar of your test period. 23 built-in studies are included, but with EasyLanguage, you can create as many as you can think up.

Drawing Tools. With TradeStation 2000i's drawing tools, you'll be able to measure, mark and highlight your data. You'll have access to popular trading tools such as the Gann Fan, Fibonacci cycle and Support/Resistance lines, along with free-form tools for adding your own rectangles, circles, arcs, pointers and text to a chart.

SmartStyling™. Add yet another dimension to all the indicators on your charts with the SmartStyling tool. You can custom design the density and color of your indicators to reflect any condition you'd like. For example, gauge the market activity of a particular security by having the moving average line get thicker as the volume increases. And then, also have the indicator change in color when trading volume exceeds a certain number. With SmartStyling, your indicators take on a whole new dimension.

ProbabilityMap® Studies. This feature lets you try to forecast future market activity based on your own historical testing. TradeStation 2000i includes two built-in ProbabilityMaps, Normal Distribution and Normal Range, plus the ability to create your own with EasyLanguage.

Plot Into the Future. How many times have you been viewing a chart and mentally tried to extend the trendline or analysis to the right of the chart? Well, you don't have to visualize it any more, because now you can do it automatically with TradeStation 2000i. Plotting indicators, trend lines, PaintBar and ShowMe Studies into the future is as simple as clicking and dragging your analysis technique to the right on your chart.

These unique analysis features are designed to bring you new insights into the market that can expand, take shape and evolve into your own trading strategies, but TradeStation 2000i's analysis features don't end there…

Feature Tour: ActivityBar® Studies

TradeStation®2000i brings you in-depth views of the markets. With ActivityBar Studies, you can see trading activity "inside the bar" such as the ratio of buyers vs. sellers at each point on the bar, where the greatest trading volume occurred and more.

You'll have the ability to develop trading strategies based on an unique view of the markets. ActivityBar Studies are fully customizable using EasyLanguage, so you can change them to fit your needs. TradeStation 2000i includes these built-in ActivityBar Studies:

Buyers vs. Sellers shows you the dominant force in the market—the proportion of buyers (bid) vs. sellers (ask) within each bar.

The Volume Distribution ActivityBar shows the distribution of price volume and the order of that activity through the bar.

Candlestick Volume Accumulation looks very much like a candlestick chart, with the additional feature of showing the width of the body of the bar increasing as volume increases. Each time the volume meets or exceeds a specified amount, additional cells are added to the right of the bar. A colored line shows you if the close was above the open (hollow), or below the open (filled).

Volume Distribution shows the distribution of price volume throughout the ActivityBar and the order of that activity throughout the bar. Each time the volume is greater than a specified amount, a range of cells is added to the right of the bar. In addition, each cell can be customized to show a different letter or number to signify different time intervals within the bar.

Price Distribution shows you where the price action occurred in each bar to help you determine the strength of the prices of the final bar. A highlighted zone shows you the number of standard deviations above/below the row with the highest number of cells (most price action) per bar.

Up vs. Down Strength shows you the strength of the Up closes and the Down closes per each specified range of ActivityData. When the volume exceeds a level you set, and the close is less than the previous close, cells are added to the left. When the close is greater than the previous close, cells are added to the right.

The Volume at Price ActivityBar shows you the strength of the volume. Additional cells are added when the level of volume exceeds a specified amount.

Volume at Price is similar to the Volume Distribution ActivityBar, except that it shows you the strength of the volume, instead of the actual distribution. Additional cells are added when the level of volume exceeds a specified amount. As the volume is exceeded further, more cells are added. You also have the ability to break up the bar into specified time intervals by customizing the cell colors.

As you can see, TradeStation 2000i gives you the ability to develop, test and optimize your own trading strategies. And, TradeStation 2000i can also help you implement your strategies by identifying the particular stocks that fit your strategies' objectives…

And switching between windows is as easy as clicking on tabs on the bottom of your screen. You'll also be able to change the colors per cell, choose and modify the fonts to highlight specific criteria you consider most important, add or remove headings with a simple click of your mouse, and resize columns just as easily. You'll even be able to sort by any column by just double-clicking on the header.

With QuoteMonitor, you'll have the tools to identify potential market opportunities based on your trading strategies. And once you're ready to act on those opportunities, TradeStation 2000i can actively monitor your open positions for you…

TradeStation®2000i will actively monitor the markets for you and automatically alert you whenever a buy or sell opportunity arises based on your own criteria. Once you've developed your trading strategies, TradeStation 2000i will monitor the markets for you, alert you to opportunities, and allow you to react quickly to make those trades. The Tracking Center will monitor hundreds of securities tick by tick and alert you when certain criteria based on your trading strategies, indicators, drawing tools, or any other study have been met.

The Tracking Center keeps track of all your Alerts, Open Orders, Cancelled Orders, and your Open Position at all times.

Easy Tab Interface. With Tracking Center's easy tab interface, you'll have immediate access to all your alerts, orders and open position information. The Alerts tab will list all indicator, study and drawing tool alerts that have been triggered. The Active Orders tab will list all new market orders generated by your trading strategies that are waiting to be filled by market activity; i.e. limit or stop orders. The Open Positions tab will list all current long or short positions held by strategies currently being monitored. And once an order has been filled by market activity, TradeStation 2000i will move it from the Active Order tab to the Filled Order list. Tracking Center will even tell you when you've reached your profit target, and track your open position profit and loss for you.

Customize and Filter. You'll be able to sort and color code columns to customize your display any way you like. And you can even choose to filter the information you view. So if you'd like to view only alerts for one symbol for example, you can easily customize your view to only show you information for that symbol. At any time, you'll be able to change your view to show alerts for a certain symbol, an analysis technique or any combination you choose.

Custom Alerts. TradeStation 2000i is designed to automatically alert you whenever a buy or sell opportunity arises based on your own criteria by sending a visual and audio alert on your computer. But even if you're away from your computer, you'll know when the market makes a move because TradeStation 2000i can even alert you via your alphanumeric pager or e-mail.
