arrggh my backtesting bitch has moved to america with his new wife :'( ive been begging him not to go but hes gone and so has his fund U know practically thru my entire trading life ive never actually had to program in BASIC any trading strategy, i simply got him to do it for me. now that hes gone damn i feel so empty technologically I have to buy software (regards murray ruggeiro), learn basic and then begin to backtest strategies all by myself :'''(. excel and eyeballing just dont cut it anymore. any1 care to recommend any sites for a crash course in programming?
Aus,i share your pain!!!! I am an ex floor trader who later ran derivatives desks and always had programming jocks doing everything for me... I ventured out on my own and was faced with the grim reality of having to learn to program... To make a long story short,I purchased Murrays Trader Studio software and immediately bought Beginning Programming for Dummies.Apparantly Liberty Basic is a great foundation and somewhat similar to TradersStudio language.... Any questions feel free to ask
