I think assuming a winning trading strategy only equals to 10 simple math transforms is very naive. Simply dealing with risk management could require 10 transforms in the simplest of systems. Any simple entry will require 10 of its own, then 10 for exits. And then try to guess the formula...

Can you explain how encryption hardware would even be a factor here. Hardware allows encryption of network data going in/out to prevent spying on data flows from the outside. I don't see how any hardware can help with the question at hand. You could use self-encrypting drives but this is...

password could simply be hand entered but beware key loggers. As I said, bitlocker or some such software should provide the same level of security unless there is a flaw in their design. If you really need the technology for encryption you can PM me, I can refer you to a company that...

If you look into the Session object you'll have more success. Often times its like their programmers could not be bothered to read their own doc and just put everything at the same place. So from memory I think thats where you'll find it.

from my experience with them they will likely push you one way or the other towards colocation so you can access their feed. once that is done service is pretty good but their API does have a few limitations you might find challenging. There are still quite a few good things about it. Few...

1) We do database all tick coming from our Genesis feed and frequently find highs/lows inconsistent with what other sources like Nasdaq replay tool shows or lightspeed and a few others. It might only be 1 tick here or there but these prints do not agree with intraday high or lows which make them...

MT4 supports at least one Futures broker. cant remember which one. MT4 is a bit more modern than TradeStation but its scripting language has many limitations that are not properly documented so don't be surprised if your strategy starts doing random stuff. It can mostly all be done but the...

In reality a computer does not really see a difference between a file in memory and on disk. Nothing prevents you from loading your application directly in memory from the encrypted file. It is harder to program but nothing all that hard using modern development tools like Microsoft .Net

Software-wise you can encrypt your application. I am talking about encrypting your binaries and using a second application to decode it before you need it, using a password. The software actually never has to be written to disk in its decrypted form, only loaded in memory making it much much...
