Have just bought traders studio also. Was concerned before purchase by the disorganized website, repeatedly postponed software update dates and poorly organised manuals (how reliable will the program be if the website / manuals are suboptimal?) and the developers somewhat overeagerness on elitetrader.com but eventually went ahead and bought. Went through one of the included systems as per tutorial and things seemed fine. (although one of the provided forex data files caused an error). Imported the Traders studio code for a system I had purchased previously and when I tried to add their fixed fraction position sizing overlay i could not get it to work. Still waiting for a response from technical help. As I'm also still waiting even longer for my software license code I'm not holding my breath for a response from technical support. Further concerned by a post somewhere about a bug in the way TS handles forex slippage supposedly giving falsely more positive results. All in all I'm less than sure this program can be relied on. I also have been mulling over Blox for some time - cost is a deterrent - but the whole operation seems much more organised and the community of users more professional. I think this may be another good example of you get what you pay for. I think I will be consigning TS to the backburner and looking again at TB.

Overall, after some time using it, I felt TradersStudio was not "up-to-scratch" and why I decided to upgrade to Trading Blox. Agree with you Tom.

It starts out OK but goes down hill quickly. It brings object oriented code into the picture and barely explains it. Lots of specific instructions saying ... push this button, enter this, hit ok.... but doesn't explain the basic concepts behind what you're doing in the example. The manual also mentions concepts without explaining them fully. The manual is really poor. It starts out OK but goes down hill quickly.

Also, the API needs to be improved, clearly. I also chose TradersStudio for many of the same reasons. Also, the API needs to be improved, clearly.
