Simple automated strategy

I am looking into that tomorrow to see how that works maybe just for using their charting but still manually handling my long-term swing trades is tedious and looking to automate. Thanks.
 
My understanding is that Quantopian also uses a simple programming language. And can use IB as broker for your trades. However, I'm not sure whether they cover the instruments you want to trade. I have no experience myself in using Quantopian.

Alternatively you would have to take the plunge and teach yourself how to code Python (or Java) so that you can code your strategy directly with IB's API.

For IB, I would say multicharts, the easylanguage version you can learn the basics very quickly. If you get stuck on something basic, will be happy to help, or there are people 100x better at EL than me that can help on here somewhere. It has some shortcomings but is still pretty powerful, and compared to writing strategies in ninja, it's pretty basic.

For instance, here is a built in strat for buy on ma cross

inputs: Price( Close ), Length( 9 ), ConfirmBars( 1 ) ;
variables: var0( 0 ) ;

condition1 = Price > AverageFC( Price, Length ) ;
if condition1 then
var0 = var0 + 1
else
var0 = 0 ;

condition1 = CurrentBar > ConfirmBars and var0 = ConfirmBars ;
if condition1 then
Buy ( "MACrossLE" ) next bar at market ;

Definitely worth the full 9 minutes...
