    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    I think I see the point you're trying to make. The user can access quite a bit of information but its up to them to figure out what they want and how they want it displayed. The methods you've shown are just starting points or examples of what can be done with Tradelink. Is this a fair...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    Okay, I see that the code exists. Where does the output get displayed? Is there a template of some sort or do I need to create a window on my own? Thx again.

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    I just looked through the links and watched the first demo w/ TWS and Quotopia. I couldn't tell but I'm assuming that I'd be able to monitor strategy-level positions and events somewhere. Is that correct? If I wanted to monitor or set constraints on portfolio exposures is there anything...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    Forgive me for being a bit lazy here but since I see that you're online I figure I may as well ask now... What is the OMS like for tradelink? I recall looking through the website but not finding anything. Can you point to a link where I can find out more about it? Can you list its...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    In tradelink, what happens to a strategy if the tick feed drops or if there's a disconnect for any other reason? Once an auto-reconnect occurs will the strategy pick up where it left off? What happens if a strategy generates a trade while there is a disconnect?

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    @LeeD I'm working on another project so it will probably be at least a few weeks b/f I start to look seriously at other platforms. I'l keep you posted. As of this moment I can tell you that I'm inclined to check out TradeLink and RightEdge first. I really need to be the platform to be as...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    LeeD, The restart info on NeoTicker is very helpful. Thx for this. Too bad you can't code in a .NET language directly. Must be some kind of scripting language? Anyway, Tradelink and Neoticker sound like possible solutions.

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    @Tonkadad, I'm sure you're trying to be helpful but I was hoping for more than a question mark. As you can see from my initial posting I have some specific requirements. I'd like to know what products can meet the requirements and what shortcomings I might expect with respect to those...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    @abbatia, My trades can last for several days and if I keep Ninja open for more than +/-3 consecutive days the memory leaks build up over time and end up crashing the program. If you're running an automated strategy and Ninja shuts down, then, upon restarting Ninja, you can't just restart your...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    @ Tradelink I took a look at your google site but wasn't sure what to make of it. I see you've posted on ET a lot but I've never seen any replies to your offer here. PM me w/your phone #. Is there anyone else on ET using Tradelink? How big is the user base? How do you support the product...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    I've been using Ninja for about 2 years now for automated trading and I need to find an alternative solution. Unfortunately, the product no longer meets my needs since I need to customize my tick data feed (using the IQFeed API) before it enters Ninja and Ninja won't allow this. I know...

    StrategyRunner and IP security

    You're based in Israel, right? What good will an NDA do me there? Who do I talk to at SR?

    StrategyRunner and IP security

    StrategyRunner, I'm not so concerned about someone else stealing my code. I'm concerned about YOU stealing my code. What happens if I out run StrategyRunner and no longer want my code on your servers? How can I be assured that it's been removed? Can I place my own server at...

    StrategyRunner and IP security

    From the low # of responses and the threadjack questions about using stops I'm getting the impression that established professional traders aren't using SR. Is there anyone on ET running managed acct or fund AUM through SR? Has anyone started and then stopped using StrategyRunner? How was...

    StrategyRunner and IP security

    Is anyone here using StrategyRunner (SR)? I'd consider using it but I'm concerned about loading my IP on to their servers. I suppose I could encrypt and obfuscate the code but that will probably only slow down someone determined enough. It's been awhile since I've spoken to them but I...

    Marketcetera

    I thought the product also supported FX trading but I don't recall for sure. I spoke with them briefly today and they said they were working on another round of financing so they could add new features such as backtesting.

    Has anyone compiled Gain's weekly tick data files into larger files?

    Has anyone compiled Gain's weekly tick data files into larger files? If so, would you be interested in trading files? I've combined a few years worth of data for GBPJPY and EURJPY and I'm working on a few more. But, I'd like to save some time and see if anyone else has done the same thing...

    Issues w/FX tick data - spot vs. futures

    I just spoke to someone in Market Data at the CME. He thought it might be the growth in algo trading on Globex. I'm not trading on an ECN. Are HotSpot users or other ECN users seeing tick volume really growing even with decreasing volatility?

    The Curious Story of TickZoom

    Wayne, Your plan to focus on the product development and to leave marketing to someone else sounds like a good idea all things considered. I hope that TickZoom lives up to its expectations and succeeds. Best of luck, Lou

    Issues w/FX tick data - spot vs. futures

    The relationship b/t daily tick volume and daily volatility for FX futures appears to have broken down but this doesn't appear to be the case for FX spot. What's going on here? Has anyone else had to deal with this? I'm trying to figure out what has changed here. Are traders using FX ECNs...
