I think in certain market conditions having both long and short with different lots size can work, and have to change the positions dynamically..

can also use (trade) SPY front month options, up buy call, down buy put, in this case you hdon't need margin and have much better leverage, round turn commissions is about 2 ticks (or $2).

I like to know which brokers to choose.

I also like to find out the best brokers using x-trader. Please recommend.

Which brokers (with X-Trader) do you recommend?

My TWS is running continuously round the clock Sunday to Friday non-stop:D

Initially I looked around and tried many similar sw but only openquant work very well for me using Interactive Broker. I am not programmer but able to learn some basic C# and start programming my strategy in Openquant to trade live. For example, I coded the my zigzag indicator as shown below...

Usually they are serving institutions. QuantHouse (SmartQuant's parent company) also serve institution. It is lucky that smartquant come out with OpenQuant to serve individuals :D I suggest you learn a bit of C#: http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorial.aspx http://www.functionx.com/csharp/...

there is another version of using 2 accounts.

I like this joke:D Every thing can be seen from many angles:p For testing automatic trading ideas, smartquant is simply execellent:) You just need to learn some C# introduction tutorial and then can start to use it. By the way, when you first enter, do you enter long and short together?

I think if using smartquant such program can be done in few hours, and then take few days of real time testing to iron out. Hi scalpmaster, will you be kind enough to explain the following.?
