looking for a programmer to simply program a black box, in c for tradestation these set of rules, using tick data: We look for the slow stochastic to make a new low A new low implies an old low that has been exceeded. We will call the old low: low-b Low-b needs to meet 2 conditions 1 It is below 35 2 On either side of the low-b, preceding and ante-ceding, there is a rise of 5 points. To explain: a rise of 5 points means that if the low is 10 it needs to have hit 15 on either side.
Why does it have to be "c", rather than implementing it into Tradestation directly or using a different language?
I can understand that one might want to avoid the code being in Tradestation format, but I don't get why it needs to be C. ike it might make sense to only open one thread for the same topic, instead of three or four.
Fair enough, I don't know if it's harder to crack a DLL written in C compared to a different language, but once you send something out, the security of your code just dropped dramatically. That doesn't mean reverse engineering the logic, as this should take some time. Lifting any date or computer locks sadly isn't so hard for a skilled person.
