I appreciate your opinion, it's pretty logical what you say. However I'm not a professional programmer, so given my time table needs, more hard technical work means to me being behind schedule, that's why I consider nice platforms like NT. Just for curiosity: do you code professionally ?

Normal, around 100 ms. My strategy is not HFT or similar.

I have a decent experience working with NT7 connected to IB, pretty fine. Now platforms continue to evolve and I'd like to know technical experience of people in the deep know which platform to develop an Algo from scratch. Thanks

This is what happened, message from IB: What is changing and why? The service being terminated for your account U**** is the U.S Securities & Futures Value Bundle for Non-Professionals.1 This service is being terminated due to a recent regulatory initiative requiring that U.S. stock quote...

Volpunter, in your opinion: is it really worth to develop in IB-Fix vs IB-Api ? I'm aware that Fix protocol is really hard for a non professional programmers, perhaps outsourced is the solution, but I want to know if it really outperforms Api , what do you think ? Is there really a practical...

I've read your interesting comments about using IB Fix. I got a newbie question: If I wanted to use IB-Fix, doing my algo in C# for example, What platform should I use to develop a complete Algo ? Is there some platform like that ? will it be OpenQuant an example ? Besides OpenQuant, what...

Hi Volpunter, I'm consulting expert opinions about this matter: Is it worth develop trading algos in IB-API when you have Ninjatrader ? I've read some interesting post about IB-API, certainly important to me. I'm just a normal trader who can develop and backtest several trading ideas in C#...

HFT ? LOL I will be left like this o_O . For that area you need a lot of money, the best co-location, hardware, brains...etc and yet you could lose money. Yes it makes sense in regards to performance and easy development, but there're other aspects to think of, such as info security...

Thanks Steve, it's a very useful suggestion. Since I'm not an advanced programmer, just developing some Algos in C# within a good platform such as Ninjatrader, I've been wondering something: Since Ninjatrader connects to the Interactivebrokers's Api, will it make sense to develop and work with...

It's been a quite long time since your interesting answer. I'm IB user and mid-level programmer, wondering if it's really worth the time and money to develop some personal app working with the IB-Api. Since your observation about the API potential problem "it is not UNICODE aware and uses...

I've been using Ninjatrader ( as good trading platform working with IB ) to develop and test some trading ideas and I must say it's a great product, it facilitates incredibly developing algorithms. I'm aware that Ninjatrader connects directly to IB-Api, so I wonder: What real differences would I...

No easy answer cause it's an open question, however I'll give an approach. Predicting probabilities is proved that's more realiable and easy for very short-terms cause certainty ( as some HFT do ), therefore any classic predicting model based on typical timeframes more than 5 minutes are due for...

Thanks Algofy, still I know the typical corporate response that I'll get from them. I must say Ninjatrader so far has proved to many clients to be a serious firm with many years of experience, but nowadays there're many many technical ways for rogue people to take advantage from you, that I...

Algofy, I don't understand your intention quite well with your answer with those twitter addresses. I've always trusted NT, but when someone state a reasonable doubt about anything, I listen. Any better suggestion to do?

Do you know this for a fact? how can you be so sure that they engage in such activities? I use NT as any normal user small trader, however I want to know my code is always safe while in my pc. Any suggestion, experience...etc would be appreciated.

Your comment caught my attention. I'm a pretty satisfied client of NT, however I always listen any idea to get better my safety. So, can you give an idea how could you "pipe those outside the application to where your actual processing of the algorithm takes place " ? I never heard of this...

Forex mainly

I'm not a complete newbie in this subject, however besides my own list, I'd really like to hear from other experienced fellows who can tell more. Since I'm an IB user, my goal is to take advantage of the best technology available: the most secure, reliable, quick and efficient enviroment for my...

I'd suggest to try Ninjatrader, it's programmable in C#, and its version non-live trading is free, so you can contrast your Algo. If you have some basic programming experience it'll take no much time to learn it well. Besides it has a great assistance forum to ask doubts and solve problems. I'm...
