J-TRADER vs. TWS

SteveT,
There are a variety of systematic trading methods that require data but not charts.
Not a strategy that i'm employing, but as an example:
Let's say you believe that most 1% moves begin with a .25% move within a 5 minute period. You could get the numerical data to feed into a spreadsheet, create a macro that constantly checks for .25% moves on a rolling 5 minute basis, and signals an "alarm" when it does. This alarm could be your signal to enter an order.
My approach involves doing a variety of calculations on data, so rather than look at charts, i prefer to link the data directly into a spreadsheet which performs the calculations.

thereuare
i actually use a methodology in essence similar to the one you describe - based on calculations on data - but i feed it with one than one data feed - especially as i have a reasonable understanding of data feed issues
and i would never have been able to get to this level of how to use such a system without having watched and traded markets for a considerable time with charts
are you assuming you can come up with a methodology based on a theoretical non-traded system?

you need the access formulation to enter commands and receive the data in and from excel and some progamming knowledge
and with jtrader you can only get the information from your broker, but if you have jtrader, the broker should give the information to you - but it is complex if you are not used to the concept of programming
