Gak! Too much software


Metooxx says that TS is a toy as far as backtesting goes, but his needs are the same as the guys sending space probes to mars. Your needs might not be as sophisticated or complex.

Check out the website.

LMAO!!!

:D :D

Heck no you aren't... but some of the strategies you guys have up your sleeves would befuddle an astrophysicist. And I'm sure the programs you are running are longer than many of the non-academic books I've ever read...and maybe longer than some of those too.

:)

Just trying to do our little part in making the option markets fun and fair for all ...

I have found the backtesting language much, much easier to deal with than Wealth-Lab or Trade Station. There really isn't any programming language involved. It is a matter of creatively using and combining their existing trading rules that cover just about every tech indicator.

But which much less flexibility than either WL or TS. Each has it's pros and cons. There's no way I could incorporate Digital Signal Processing with IRT while I could easily with WL or TS using the scripting language.

If you like the Metastock-like "indicator builder" approach then you'll like IRT. If you like the ability to control your own data structures with finite control via scripting language then WL or TS is the way to go. I find WL's scripting language to be easier than TS, btw.

Oh, and you have to pay for the IRT eval, which you don't for WL.
 
For those of you who want a software who has the power to do nearly everything, but also want the ease of use like MetaStock you might want to wait until WLD3 comes out. It will have drag and drop programing.
So with all the professionals that are using WLD2 at the moment and the new drag and drop feature even beginners will be able to programme their systems and scans. Advanced programing will be still available.

Regards.
