Even day-trading ?

Thanks so much for the informative guidance. Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. I am actually in favor of easy language type of scripting. The only thing is that I want to be able to extend if (1) I want to speed things up; (2) I want to create my own faster or more complicated signal...

Any way of making it fast? I feel entering an order and submit it is so slow on my IB... how to make it super fast? Any tips? Thanks !

I don't want C# specificly, I am okay with C, C++, Java, etc. That way I don't have to learn a new special-purposed script language... You think TraderStudio (or which other one?) is the next best than TS, since TS doesn't have portfolio level backtesting?

Okay, then I shouldn't have opened TS. What's the next best that I should definitely take a look? It's impossible to try them out (I mean try them all with meaningful comparisons, because each one of them has a language that I have to learn well). The wealth-lab's strength is that it's C#.

Also, if I want to test some strategies, for execution, of course I am using IB, but for strategy exploration and backtesting (trading futures), which software is the best? Thanks!

Hi all, I am a newbie to futures trading. Could you please give me some pointers about how to become a successful futures trader and how to become a successful day-trader? Thanks a lot!

Yep, I just find it out. How about subscription to the standalone version?

How is Wealth-Lab? Seems nobody mentions about Wealth-Lab?

Where are these data? And these are not international trade data...

Hi folks, I remembered some economists quoted the number of global shipment of goods fall sharply in Dec. 2008. I was wondering what was the latest change? I am looking for the global shipment of goods numbers from one country to another, and from one region to other regions, etc. For...
