IMHO There are multiple platforms to develop automating strategies, including -OpenQuant -WealthLab -AmiBroker -TradeStation -NinjaTrader and so on Each platform has its own drawbacks. For example AmiBroker is very fast to test on historical data, but bad(?) for execution. I have experience with OpenQuant but I don't like it's IDE, it is not stable. And all these platforms need additional steps in the morning to run the strategy. For my strategy I had to develop my own platform in C++, there is no GUI. It was intended to test my ideas and special data processing you can not run in _any_ of above platforms. I have a friend who develops ATS, he also has his own platform for backtesting. And AFAIK these custom platforms named "competitive advantage" are very common for quant teams. For basic strategy you can take any platform. I recommend to test your idea based on historical data and adjust custom parameters and then write your execution program in native C++ directly for your brokerage. At least it works for me and for my clients. Best regards, RR
