Very good article. One point that is missing is customer support. I haven’t tested Streak so can’t comment but I use Tradetron and customer support needs a lot of improvement. Consider Tradetron as Do It Yourself.
Hi Vivek,
I totally agree, but they are improving in that aspect constantly
The security of the strategies is a big question mark in Tradetron..It can be copied and shared by anyone inside tradetron without the creator’s knowledge. Absolutely no clarity on that aspect.
Hi Nathan,
Do you mean Tradetron employees can steal your strategy?
