Any and all are welcome with or without an RSVP! 1:Ed Tulauskas: Power of Butterflies 2: Moving a Strategy to Options, Slingshot https://www.meetup.com/rdutraders/events/301368667/

I posted it late I know. It went very well for a start I think. We got maybe 12 or 13 people and lots of discussion. We really only got through the setup, so probably we will continue it into his sample trades in a month or so. You are welcome to take part if so you can. I will post...

Just on EasyLanguage compatibility, "MultiCharts PowerLanguage is 99% compatible with EasyLanguage" So if one writes in TradeStation EasyLanguage, one can later move the code out to MultiCharts with minimal conversion effort to access the many brokerage API's supported by MultiCharts.

I found out that NinjaTrader allows you to write your code in real C++ in Visual Studio, which is attractive to me as a starting point. NinjaTrader seems to support perhaps more clearing broker APIs than anything else, including Rithmic.
