    IB API Programmers

    I agree that there are several products out there for autotrading that don't require much coding, or, at the least, provide an API to build on. I was just putting in my 2c on the price of programming services if one had the need for custom code. Many, probably most, traders' needs can be...

    IB API Programmers

    I would not trust a recent college grad to code real-time, multi-threaded financial software. They won't have the experience to design and test a robust system. You should find someone with 5+ years real work experience (not school), and 2-3 successful systems under their belt that are...

    Will WL be available to non-Fidelity clients in the US? Although I liked the forum over there, (there were a lot of useful discussions) I've been limiting myself to platforms that use non-proprietary languages (Java, C++, .Net ) I don't want to get into a discussion about whether C#/VB.NET...

    Comment on OpenQuant

    I'm in the process of evaluating software packages for automated trading. I wrote several strategies in both NT and OQ. I'm at the paper trading stage. 1. I would agree with everyone that NT's documentation is much more complete. I haven't made a final decision on what I'll use in...
