You didn't mention VB. I'll bet more number crunching is done in VB than you think.
I'm an engineer, not a financial analyst. But my weapon of choice for number crunching simulations is VC++ 6.0. It's damn fast, mature and well-understood.
There are several TA packages available in C/C++ as well. There's even a free, open-source package called ta-lib (which I use).

I'm not sure what you mean by quant. Must be that bunch that gets themselves fired wholesale.
Truly clever users of computers to make money in markets never touch anything of the above but C++ and only as little as they absolutely need to. Much smarter tools exist to assist you in unleashing computer power. The ones that don't know about this will get fired quickly.
My dear Whimsy,
Sorry that you seem to be unable to make use of excellent advise if you stumble in it. If you want more guidance, it's all over these threads ready to be picked up.

nononsense
I am no quant, but it seems to me that there is also a lot of talk @ Java. Isn't this the case?

Two questions:
-What you mean by number crunching?
-With C++, how you can make your application
understand what is a buy, sell, volume,.. isn't these requires
you to be a professional programmer? I mean how do you
build these actions in your applications?
