  I use TradeStation for automated trading.   In general, I find it satisfactory although I find them extremely inflexible and have concerns about what I might do if they were no longer available.
 
 I do 10 to 15 round trips per day in 5 accounts.   I use it almost 100% for entries.    I use it less than 50% for exits because I often find that market conditions cause me to want to manually exit early.
 
 In order to protect myself against an unknown future, I would like to know what alternatives I might have.  A re there alternative automated services available?  Anyone using them?  What do you like or dislike about them?
 
 Thank you.

  I don't have experience with any others.
 
 There is NEOTICKER and NINJATRADER.
 
 Also MultiCharts but I don't know if they run automated strategies.
 
 Even though a few people at the top of TS are a bunch of (&*(#*$&, the platform is still worth using.
