    Where to find a programmer to automatically backtest a system

    Depends on how much tick data you are saving. Maybe 1 min bar data isn't so bad. But ticks could add up very quickly for just 2-3 symbols. In the case of forex and cfds, I was helping someone who was using MetaTrader 4, and they used Tick Data Suite, which essentially plugged into the mt4...

    Saxo Bank is cheating customers after SNB removed EUR/CHF floor

    Only because Denmark officials want to avoid mass panic in the confidence of their banking system. So they allow Saxo to escape their responsibility to their clients to safeguard their funds. Disgusting bucket shop practice, considering they are an investment bank.

    Does anyone use a reliable FX broker?

    I recommend any forex broker who has a prime or prime of prime broker relationship. Global Prime Au clears with BNP. Any Swiss broker should be fine as you must have a banking license to deal in fx over there. ATC Brokers in the UK (not sure if they still use FXCM Pro to clear), FxOpen ECN...

    Admin/editing rights for specific threads....

    I was wondering if I could request admin rights for specific threads that I am the OP or an assistant to? If there is a thread that I upload an indicator to, it kind of makes sense that I can update it occasionally. You keep the original post up to date with all of the latest...

    Where do I find a good programmer for c# with algo experience?

    To answer the OP's question, consider AnkaSoftware.com . Very experienced in C++, C# and several trading platforms. Most people do not know how to hire programmers. Paying by the job is a recipe for failure, mainly because what you ask for, what you meant to ask for, and what you get can be...

    Saxo Bank is cheating customers after SNB removed EUR/CHF floor

    ^^Market making in and of itself, is a healthy, natural part of the market. All liquidity-providers, dealers, and speculators do this either inadvertently or [usually] in a uniform, repetitive manner (i.e. professional traders). The saxo bank situation was peculiar because they robbed their...

    Saxo Bank is cheating customers after SNB removed EUR/CHF floor

    SaxoBank 1/2 year losses >70 Million did you ever get any compensation from Saxo Bank or regulator? Is there any type of class action lawsuit (criminal or civil) going on here? As a market maker, they should have actually been profitable if they were taking the other side of clients trades...

    Tradelink users? Issues?

    I think m4 from modulus might be what you are looking for. It is not free, but it is fully supported, not broker-specific, and you get source code. The financial industry is run on dollars which require constant updates to keep up with technology, and so free open source projects don't seem to...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    I thought mt4 used C# like functions and mt5 was closer to C++ . Anyway, mt4 is much more popular and already has a strong userbase. mt5 was a 'failure' primarily because of zero backwards compatibility with mt4. MQ finally admitted this by making [forced] changes to mt4 to make it mt5-like...
