Algo trading study resources?

those "platforms" you mention hardly associate with hft. Those platforms are extremely basic and limited retail-geared testing and trading platforms and that's about as much compliment as they deserve...

At least the author was being honest:
"quantitative trading is an extremely complex......area of quantitative finance."

"In order to carry out a backtest procedure it is necessary to use a software platform."
However, I totally disagree with this:
"For HFT strategies in particular it is essential to use a custom implementation."

That may have been true 5-10 years ago. Now, there's tons of proven platforms out there now....Tradestation, Multicharts, TT, etc.

It's an enormous task to create a solid backtesting platform from scratch. When Tradestation first created TS2000i, it was like a million lines of code....and when they couldn't fix the bugs, they ended-up rewriting it as SAAS.

Even worse. What a royal ripoff. If you must limit yourself to off the shelf products then RightEdge or Amibroker does exactly the same for a fraction of the price. 10k, lol.
