Is it possible to use C# with TradeStation directly?

Not directly. No. But it is possible to have TS communicate with your own program written with C#. There are many threads here and on the TS forum that talk about this.

I know it can be done through a dll, but I am trying to avoid EL altogether

Can't say that I blame you for that. In that case, perhaps an option is just to avoid TS altogether. TS gives brokerage plus data; but you can have both with other options. NinjaTrader works with many brokers (fewer now that they are in the broker business themselves) and data feeds, and you have C#. SierraChart seems to have a great many brokers and data feeds, and you use C++. (I have not used Sierra, but its reputation is good, and I may give them a try.)

I have used TS, and it has many good points, but the language is limiting.

Is there a compelling reason to stay with TradeStation for you?

Bob.

MultiCharts.net is similar in many respects to TradeStation but allows the programmer to use the Visual Studio set of languages, including C#. You should check it out (I don't use it - I use regular MultiCharts)

Thanks for the update. NO there is no compelling reason to stick with Tradestation. I just started with it.
