The majority of professional and individual traders use some kind of trading software on which to base their strategies. With over 100,000 users, the most popular trading software today is TradeStation, published by TradeStation Technologies.

  • Endorsed by the software provider TradeStation Technologies
  • Written in a straightforward manner, that is accessible even for those with little computer experience
