Except, in this case, you don't get all of the source code. You get some of the source code. I think Wayne had told me the price for all of the source code was around $16,000.

For the record I was not "turned down" by Wayne/TickZoom. I balked at paying the $1500 and that was the end of it. Also, I've never been "burned" by a trading platform provider or any other type of provider as Wayne attributed to me. There are platforms that haven't fit my needs but that's...

Chinar, I wasn't looking for Marketcetera to bake bread for me. But it seems that bar-based event handlers (e.g., tick bars) and the ability to trade futures "out-of-the-box" isn't asking for too much. Does your firm plan on addressing the active trader community. The traders who aren't...

maxpi, Yes, I have both Ninja and OpenQuant licenses but I'm only using Ninja. Do you use OQ and do you use tick-bars or ticks in your auto-trading? I stopped trying to develop in OQ about a year ago after I got tired of the firm's non-responsiveness when the platform kept crashing on me...

Yes, the guy's name is Wayne || tickzoom || greaterreturn || chaostheory, et al. Here he is on ET in action as 'chaostheory' slowly roping me into the $1500 open-source bait-and-switch: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=164629 In hindsight, the part where his...

This is neither a positive nor negative review of TickZoom. I'm just relaying my experience w/the firm. Here is the sequence of events in my communications w/the owner of TickZoom. 1) After posting a question about auto-trading here on ET I received positive comments about TickZoom from a...

propseeker, Did you write both execution and simulation capabilities on your own? Or, did you use a broker API to get execution only? If so, what are you doing for backtesting/simulation? Regarding the use of a broker's API, should I anticipate limitations regarding the # of instruments...

I'd like to give TickZOOM a try. It looks like they're working on improving it pretty aggressively. It shouldn't be too difficult to port my C# on Ninja to C# on TickZOOM. Thanks for your help, Lou

chaostheory, I was just reading through some of your old posts. I saw a reference to TickZOOM and TradeLink - can't recall if you were the one who mentioned these two. At any rate, have you tried either of these? Are there any other platforms you would suggest. Here are my 2 biggest...

# of instruments or # of strategies (if you run more than one strategy per instrument). Ninja users know that it's a pig w.r.t. memory, especially when it comes to working w/tick data.

AT, Maybe you could share some wisdom here. What do you see as the advantage of Marketcetera versus using a broker's API? (other than not being limited to one broker) I'm about done with the retail products (using NinjaTrader currently) and I'm looking for a scalable solution w/o...

Marketcetera is a fairly new open-source trading platform. My post here is not a recommendation. I just thought I might be able to save people some time since the capabilities of the s/w aren't clear from the website. At this point there isn't really much to this platform though I suspect...

No, that's too small. I guess I was looking at a higher tier. Yes, 175 is important to me. I thought it was worth noting as a follow-up to someone else's post. Anyway, it's not worth carrying on about.

kiwi, Yes, you're right. I was referring to my own interests and my strategies, not what would be best for traders in general. At least IB is transparent by posting their rollover rates for all to see.

PPFx, That's what I surmised. While nearly all of my trades are < 24 hrs I end up holding positions overnight regularly. I forgot where the IB tiers break dollar-wise but when I looked at this a few weeks ago, at the lowest tier, the terms of carry were worse than Gain by 175 bps ann. I...

With NT, I can backtest futures using tick data but only on about 4 months worth of data at a time. This is just for a single test run, no optimization. Two tricks to speed up the backtests/ minimize memory leaks are 1) make sure you're not connected to a live feed while testing and 2) close...

I've used or I'm using NinjaTrader, OpenQuant, and TradeStation. None of these are really suitable for backtesting on high-frequency data. Ninja is the least bad of the 3 but that's not quite good enough for what you need. I'm not aware of anything suitable at the retail level. However...

I'm not trying to play games with you here but the model wasn't strictly trend following if it was also predictive.

Trader KGB, Sorry, actually it was Forex.com. They said they were giving me the Gain rates given the account size. I think it sounds a little fishy. Maybe it's just part of a marketing ploy. They said that they weren't teaser rates - but then, who gives a rate w/o saying what it's based...

There's no doubt that IB is more transparent on their rates. That is, they give you the benchmark and the spread under the benchmark. With Gain, I wasn't sure if they were being elusive or if they weren't sure of what they were talking about. Or, maybe both?They couldn't give me a benchmark...
