Can anyone provide some examples of what can be done in a programming language like C++ versus what can be done in EasyLanguage? Does it make sense to first test and validate methods in EasyLanguage (using TradeStation), and then re-code any successful one in C++? Thanks
That is quite a broad question Norm. Basically, given time and money you can do pretty much anything using C++. EasyLanguage however, is a very specialized language that will take you from 0 to 60 rather quickly and it is powerful enough to implement most trading systems Yes, that makes a lot of sense I hope that helps! Peace Mr. Two
Tradestation can do any type of analysis but without the processing speed of C++ C++ used mostly for arbitrage, extreme scalping ticks, ...and building independent environment ,which tradestation Engine isn't designed for that purpose C++ Dll extension for TS is just for performing functions that not doable with easylanguage, however they won't speed up things in tradestation. you don't need to know C++, to become successful
