    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    If I’ve given the impression that I didn’t feel manuals were important, than I apologize because I believe strongly that they are critical component part of the software. In my case I don’t feel a need to have printed manuals, but instead would prefer to have the software’s information...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    When TradersStudio was first introduced I wasn't a fan of their Easy Language Migration tool. However, a lot has changed over the years since then and with Murray’s comment above, I thought I would go back and test it again. In the past translations made for a lot of work and didn’t go...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Continuing on with my first posting about Trading Blox Basic (TBB), I’ll try to explain what I find critically important about a back testing process. TBB isn’t a chart-focused program, and TradeStation (TS) is clearly at the top of the food chain when it comes to generating stunning chart...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Hello Gyles, It is hard to know a program when the trial period is only a week, so I’ll add some information about Trading Blox Builder (TBB) from my experience with the software. Let’s start off with speed because that area seems to be overly important to people and it should be cleaned...
