Hi guys, just wondering what are good platforms for hosting an automated trading system? I need something that would interface with Bloomberg for data and Interactive Brokers as the broker. What would be robust, fast, and reliable? Thanks, EliteTraderNYC
what more do you want? If you have bloomberg and ib you also have the APIs to create the auto trades.
Yes, but what language would you use to create the APIs in? Is there any optimal language or are they all interchangeable?
you're in over your head. You DONT create the APIs. API means application programming interface. They are provided for you. For realtime systems, which is what trading is, you have 3 very popular choices java,c++, c#. Any of them will do. PM me and I will let you know whenever I give a link the post gets deleted
This app is free and uses IB for data and trades. Written in Java http://code.google.com/p/trade-manager/ There are many others out there
