    Python probably the best for working with data.
    Many different add-ons that have trading functions.
    Stackoverflow had many specific examples.
    Use the pycharm ide .

    Does MotiveWave support backtesting multiple strategies concurrently in a single backtest?

    Not sure if I'm clear on your meaning. Each strategy would exist and run in a separate backtest, but you can run multiple backtests at the same time.

    I might trade dozens of strategies and I need a way to test/trade them all together and have a risk component that knows the current state of each strategy and can allocate capital accordingly.

    MotiveWave would have been an interesting product to try. But programming languages like Java (and VB.NET for that matter) are just soooo unpleasant to program in compared to C#.

    I'm okay with the Java JDK itself...so long as the programming language to code on top of it isn't Java. Java truly is the COBOL of these times in program development. Bleh.

    MotiveWave developers: you should move towards supporting the GraalVM. That way, someone could code their algorithms on top of your platform in Python instead.

    It's pretty tough to choose MotiveWave over NinjaTrader when all I get is a 14 day free trial while I can get NT for free to evaluate for as long as I want before having to pay for opening up the actual live trading part. [Fancy chart patterns and complex wave counts which "recount" every time they're wrong don't increase your odds of long-term success.]
