Creating own trading system

Quote from j2ee:

There is no shortcut to build a pretty complicated/very complicated logic in a limited not even close to a real programming language AFL of amibroker environment.

I agree for building a very simple, common logic, amibroker is a good choice. Once get into little bit complicate and not common logic, there is no way amibroker or other cheap commerical system like that. The only choices would be either using open source like Tradelink with real programming language C# or other opensource with Java, or go with the real expensive professional platform which is real HFT ready kind of platform + server.

How about telling us how a "real" programming language beats AFL. Do you even know what the difference is between a "real" language and AFL? I doubt it based on your comments.
 
this guy is seemingly moving from forum to forum stirring the pot wherever he goes.

in this sense he's a model ET user, but since he doesn't listen yet always has a response (or maybe doesn't speak English well? dunno)- it gets old quickly.

If in doubt a little daily dose of sam clemens...

Then depend on if you want to build a flight and like to build a flight. Real good hedge fund eats like 20%-40$ of the profit with your money, and like 5% management fee even they lose your money, and do they always win? NO.

A system that works with a good MAR ratio is, in the long term, more than worth any management fees. The certainty of winning and minimising losses is paramount.

System trading in particular does not work all the time. During a long dry patch, people pull their money out, creating the perfect opportunity for you to ADD TO YOUR ACCOUNT, if you're smart.

Even fund would shut down or lose money. If someone is good, of course trade by yourself.
 
You dont sound like you know that much.

Quote from trademeisters:

most flexiable trading platform, use tradelink.org as your open source trading base, quantlib for oss pricing, that way you get started w/everything right away but still can customize later.

I try but tradelink really "suck", just its way to get historical daily price from yahoo and google somehow limit to around 5 years.

I am not trying to build HFT level of trading program, so it should be faster and better for me to build my own.

Fully understand tradelink and make it really work should take much longer time than I build my own, and I will know exactly what is happening in backtest and real trade with my own built system.

That's my opinion too - better to start over than build on ????. I am using R for a lot with parts in C#......

Have you coded Walk-Forward testing? Is it very hard to code it?
