I have a warning about the Etrade API. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, there is a complex authorization process. Etrade updated my account so that when I was developing in the sandbox environment, my access_token was good for up to 7 days. I learned today, that the access_token...

It would be super helpful to mention that tradeMONSTER requires a minimum $100,000 just to use their API. :)

I JUST got 2 brokers working and was not aware of tradeMONSTER's feature set. :( I am contacting them now about getting the API documentation to see if it meets my needs. When filling out the form (just to get the documentation about their API) I noticed some odd questions. 1. What can you...

I got their login to work now . . . It is a badge of honor for me. Considering the fact that I had to fix their SDK on the way, I definitely feel good. There is still more work to do. For example, if your app happens to have 2 hours of inactivity, you have to renew. There are far better ways to...

Yes. I'm just hoping to bring together a team of programmers to make sure there is one open source solution that shows integration. For now, I'm just designing it to handle the limited needs of my system, but plan to upgrade it from there. My thought is that if several programmers relied on the...

I disagree that it is "easy" to integrade the Etrade PHP SDK API. Are you aware that they changed the authorization (regarding SSL v.3) some time before October 20th (and that broke their SDK)? Are you aware that they modified their process regarding the access_token also? They are "planning"...

No. . . . I'm doing a "poor man's" broker-neutral system. IB's minimum deposit is $10K (which many people don't have). That said, in the future, this software will support IB. P.S. Thanks for letting me know there has been a lack of interest. Having worked on the Etrade API SDK for some time...

I'd like to collaborate on building another open source broker-neutral order execution suite. Unlike Tradelink: 1. It will use PHP (or Python or Java) and be able to run on a free LAMPP webserver. 2. It will support Etrade, Tradier, collective2, Tradeking (and more). Currently, I have a...

I live in Atlanta and looking for the same thing! In fact, I just posted a thread about collaborating (on opensource order execution software): http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/open-source-order-execution-software.287816/ I'd prefer to collaborate and meet with traders in Atlanta.

The answer seems simple; Back test your system and try to optimize the variable.

I am designing a backtesting system to test an algorithm. I'd like to have a benchmark / control test results to compare to the results of a custom algorithm. A limited "set" of stocks is selected to invest in. The algorithm can choose to buy one or more stocks. In an effort to have a...

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. I THINK you are saying "the amount of code needs to be specified" before the scope of the agreement can be understood. Yes, I agree. Anyone can contact me privately, and I can give the details of the code that I am working on and exactly...

As I mentioned before, I have some projects that need some coding, so at this point I'll take code or cash in exchange for the information. I'm sure we've all bumped into people that pose the same question as the original poster. This industry is filled with doubt. Here's "how it go"...

I don't understand why you say this is spam. The OP clearly requested the information and others on this forum should be interested also. I'm guessing you wrote that it is "spam" because you don't know what spam is? Please review the thread and you can see that my post is clearly...

What exactly is funny about this offer? I specified the use of escrow because I realize people would doubt. If I am not able to show absolute proof of a fully automated system that has been proven to be profitable and that you can use, I get $0. Obviously, This offer extends to those...

What about phix? http://sourceforge.net/projects/phix/

I will show you a fully automated and profitable program that YOU can use . . . IF You put a $1,000 finder's fee in escrow (i.e. Guru.com has an escrow system). You will get: . fully automated trades (as in completely hands free) . proof that the system has been profitable in the past...

I see. I found my answer in the post time stamped 02-20-10 07:58 PM. Something Useful: Assuming you've done sufficient back testing and debugging of your code, 30 days is enough to start using $. It's unlikely that you'll get profound insights that conflict with the back testing and...

I had looked at ETrade before, but I did not find this: "E*TRADE Capital Markets can currently accept orders from either our front end application (either through a dedicated circuit or the Internet), FIX protocol (various versions supported) or a variety of third party vendor applications."...

You didn't answer my two questions. (I don't think you're comprehending the OP. If an auto system is back tested a lot, AND it's bug free AND it is successful for 30 days of paper trading, how much longer do YOU think it's necessary to paper trade before using real money?)
