“The good
Various datafeed options with different broker account. I could trade with broker with competitive commission like AMP while still have access to reilable datafeed
Potentially could trade with multiple accounts from different brokers with one platform at the same time. Good for risk management
Power language provides almost same coding experience for trader with Tradestation Easy language strategy development foundation
MC is also a powerful Trading/charting platform for both strategy trading and manual trading
Quote manager in MC is relatively stable in handling huge datafeed and historical data. The latest 64bit MC seldom crashed as compared to Tradestation particularly with huge historical data more than 3GB
Latest version of MC provides convenient way to start or stop multiple automated strategies in one interface with only a few clicks. This is very useful live trading with multiple automated strategies.
The bad
Unlike TS which use in house datafeed, traders need to perform symbol mapping when trade with datafeed from different brokers. Not really a big issue if one is familiar with the process”
