Finally!, After several weeks without lifting head of the code, migrating and testing systems on Monday I started to work with Tradestation.
'm feeding it with the IB data feed through Owndata and release orders in the TWS I am using the super interface of NinjaTrader.
The Tradestation is an impressive platform, it seems that every last detail has shined. The Easy Language is relatively easy and fast, most of the functions are abbreviated and this makes the program a system does not require many lines of code in other languages \u200b\u200bsuch as Visual Basic or AFL. Apart
this, in the default program are many strategies that can serve to give us ideas on how to improve systems, different trailings stops, entrances, exits, etc.
statistics are complete systems and everything is perfectly detailed, ultimately ... Now I can see that we're playing in first division! .
The NinjaTrader software is a simply spectacular, I came on the recommendation of a friend (thanks James) to use its interface between TWS and Tradestation, and that's how I'm using now, but I'm giving use can assume only 5% of all the tools you have. It is a complete platform for developing and implementing automated systems.
Among the many functions have:
- Language Ninjascript for the development of indicators and strategies.
- Interface to automate systems from Tradestation and eSignal.
- strategies Optimizer (normal variables).
- Optimizacior strategies through Walk Forward method .
- Automation in NinjaTrader strategies designed in 12 different brokers.
- FA supports both bills as NinjaTrader Tradestation.
- Statistics very comprehensive systems (drawdowns, net profit, MAE, MFE etc.).
is an innovative platform that I'm sure will be talking about in the coming years, the team notes that more work in the software content in the presentation itself (although is also is good) and that is something that gives me confidence.
And now the big question what platform or use NinjaTrader Tradestation?
In my time I have not yet drawn a definitive answer, but I've noticed a few details.
The tradestation software is a much lighter, consumes less resources and frequency of plotting is a bit faster than that of NinjaTrader. The latter seems to be a little heavier and it takes longer to load, is slow to load the workspaces and charting the frequency is slower.
For now I can not make an objective assessment as to which of the software is better, what is clear is that both platforms are impressive. And possibly in the coming months I will do is to develop systems in the NinjaTrader (since the Walk Forward Optimization method saves a lot of work) and deploy them to the Tradestation because it is something less heavy.
That's all for now folks, a greeting and good weekend.
Marting.
