TradeStation 9.1 is no longer the cutting edge, but it remains the "Gold Standard" for backtesting and automation.
For many veteran quantitative traders, version 9.1 isn't just old software—it’s a precision instrument. Here is why this specific build still has a cult following: tradestation 9.1
UpperBand = VWAPVal + (BandMultiplier * StdDevVal); LowerBand = VWAPVal - (BandMultiplier * StdDevVal); TradeStation 9
