My needs are different. I still find TS2000i more fluent in usage and faster. My broker offers MT4 and it has built-in DDE server. I am using MetaServer RT DDE to get the broker realtime data directly into GlobalServer/TS2000i. The downside is if there is a downtime/stoppage on my computer, there is no history download available for direct GlobalServer. Patching will be by manual download from MT4.
I still use Gelium/Forexite TS9.1 on second screen.
What is the point of using TS2000i if you have a normally working TS 9.1?
TS2000i is a lot smoother than TS9.1. TS2000i has better reliability of data update on the charts. Whereas for TS9.1, occasionally I have to hit Refresh for the charts to get back to life.
The combination of MT4/MetaserverRT/GlobalServer provide very actively updated data that I can chart on TS2000i. It also has a lot more symbols, including commodities, bonds, stocks and full range of stock indexes. The other thing is it has a lot of FX crosses against my local country currency. It suits my needs.
I only started using the MT4 DDE and MetaServerRT DDE after Forexite announced ceasing their data back in Nov last year. I m now charting and analysing with my broker's data.
