    Hey traders, I'm now thinking about coding my strategy but I know nothing about it. Where to find info for algotrading beginners? The prop firm I trade with provides a tool to code in Multicharts and make this robot work in Sterling Trader, so I'm specifically interested in sources that can help me to get started with coding in Multicharts

    Multicharts and Tradestation both use easy language or EL. I was hoping somebody will enlighten us whether strategies are interchangeable between the two platforms.

    If it is, you will find a ton of resources from the Tradestation forum.

    dartmus and xandman like this.
  4. Let me know if you need help. I can help in coding and programming your software/program/indicator/systems :)

    Enjoy
     
  5. Easy language confused the heck out of me at first, but once I studied the tradestation easy language manual I got some usable programs made right away. The best ones were around 10 lines of code.
