This is better design compared to what TS has. MC design is similar to what Bloomberg has when you hit BLP.

Stan, Can you do live execution on 2 symbols? if yes, then it is a better deal compared to Ninja. With Ninja you can't do any real execution without paying for it. Not sure what gripe some people have here. It is good to question vendors but the questions should be sensible. As another...

I have heard many horror stories about Ninja. The issues you mention do not happen with Multicharts. I am a long-term user of MC but as I am becoming a more advanced user, I find myself outgrowing capability of Multicharts. However, for the early days, Multicharts (and before that Tradestation)...

Good points NetTecture. Any retail software be it Ninja, Multicharts, Amibroker (possibly) is not suitable to do any kind of heavy-workload like tracking or trading 500 symbols, running multiple optimizations, order book modelling etc. And unfortunately only solution if someone wants to take...

We are in agreement here and we are talking exactly the same thing. Simulating order book won't give good results in these softwares. I was just responding to the poster who made a sweeping generalization that 1k softwares are completely worthless.

Not true. Anyone who says an off the shelf program like Multicharts or Ninja or Amibroker can't be used to develop and successfully trade profitable trading strategies is either making a sweeping generalization or is simply ignorant. Yes, you can't do order book modeling in such tools, you...

Is there a good alternative in your experience compared to Tradelink?

You ought to answer this since you have been trumpeting the cause of Tradelink. Why do you like Tradelink, what are the specific features that you like in Tradelink? Don't duck the question - ducking the question makes you look a little dishonest.

If my knowledge is correct, business model of Tradelink is that their documentation sucks and they charge you consulting fees to get you started and hand hold you. It is not like true open source. (My knowledge could be off here, I admit since I have never worked on Tradelink directly. This is...

I disagree. Being profitable is the most important aim in this business. And believe me it is the toughest challenge you will encounter. As far as your point regarding infrastructure creation for testing out ideas is concerned. You can use amibroker, TS, MC, Matlab, R, Excel, Eviews, RTS and...

j2ee, I am curious as to what is your background? CS engineering or something similar?

Yes, you are correct. But the real question here imo is are you profitable currently? If not, then becoming profitable first should be the top priority. However, there is another aspect here as well. Let us say you are never able to become profitable in your trading. However, if you build...

I have supported caveman's contention that time is money in this business - so buying vs developing your own software should depend on functionality aspect as well as on how many years of development time you can save by buying. However, you have a very valid point here. If you become a...

I am of the opinion that every trader suffers from some kind of problems and some kind of discipline issues. It is good to know the rule that you break the most, because only once you know it, you can work on it. However, it could be really tricky to work on one's weaknesses. For example, my...
