Coming back into the software game after being out for a four years.

I have been using excel for all my strats for a few years. But since my trading instruments have started to expand from 5-10 and will most likely grow I find myself needing "real" software. Updating everything by hand in the am is becoming time intensive.

I need to be able to -

-Create custom indicators.
-Watch multiple time frames.
-Scan those times frames simultaneously.
-Punch out watchlists in real time based on my scans.



whats my best bet?

thanks.

 

IMO, NinjaTrader should be on your list ... www.ninjatrader.com

[unless your instruments are options; I don't think NT handles options]

 

Thank you.

Good point about product

Equities, futures, currency, bonds and yields and cash indices

 

If your interested in system development ,backtesting and walkforward analysis you should take a look at TradersStudio. There a lot of info on TradersStudio , including some reviews posted here.

You can also see for yourself at TradersStudio.com

 

Can the product scan several timeframes simultaneously?

 

It's not a real time platform. It's a offline one. But yes , you can do multiple timeframe analysis.

 

Can you pull data in during the trading day? I used to use AIQ systems end of day pulling data from mytrack and you could update once every 60 mins(or as often as you like) to get a fresh look.

Oh, and can I pull the data from REDI+?
