I wanted to play around with making my trading system into an automated system and have some questions about the non-programming side. Can I use Amibroker to code my system, and then link it to Interactive Broker's TWS to automatically execute the trades for me? Before I go down the path of...

If I just get amibroker will I be able to do this? Or do I need intra day data from somewhere else?

Is it possible to back test a day trading strategy? I want to only apply the strategy between 9:30-11:00 AM EST. And I want to back test this everyday for the past 3 years. If it isnt possible with Amibrokers, do you know of a backtesting software in which these parameters can be set?

I am a new trader. I day trade, typically around 6,000 shares a day. I would consider myself more of a scalper. I never add liquidity to the market, I simply take it. I buy at ask and sell on bid. And trade very quickly so I cannot worry myself over the routes. 1) Would it be more beneficial...

Which one did you end up going with? I have the same question

These two seem to be the two platforms I enjoy the most. The reason I am debating between these two is the Level 2 box. That box is the style I seek for a level 2, and the platform is easy to use, unlike TWS and TOS. I am a day trader, typically my size in a position is 1000 shares. I love to...
