    OpenQuant -- RightEdge -- and IB

    It's a set of introductory documentation, so it probably doesn't cover advanced topics, though our users find it useful in getting started with OpenQuant and especially C# (since many of OQ users are non programmers) http://www.smartquant.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5970 We discuss more...

    OpenQuant -- RightEdge -- and IB

    You can also set a time stop (as well as price stop) and exit when the stop is triggered. I am not sure I follow your API question. Do you want an API that you can use to build other applications in Visual Studio / .NET? Regards, Anton

    1) yes, you can 2) OpenQuant supports IB TWS API out of the box. You just select IB instead of Simulator in the strategy settings in OpenQuant and you are ready to autotrade live with IB Regards, Anton

    Who wants to program my Profitable Trading System?

    Perhaps a swing trading strategy is not the best example but my point is that it's hard to automatically recover if your strategy missed critical data or failed to submit orders / open / close positions that can influence future strategy logic. Sometimes in such cases pressing panic button is...

Indeed a platform should be able to reconnect to a data provider or broker after connectivity problem (it's built in into FIX protocol btw) but what should the...
