This is patently false. I'm aware of several CTA's trading the futures markets with 7 figure accounts, just using TS. It just doesn't have to be complicated. Simple is good.
I have an end of day system I have automated that is coded in VB6. Would C++ be much faster than VB6 given that the main drag is between my program talking to TWS? fan27
Hard to resond to certian remarks, I keep contemplating if I should respond at all - but if you read the question it is so illogical you have to ask what is meant
You answered your own question - "the main drag is between my program talking to TWS" - the bottleneck is communication speed not your programming - Just to make sure what you stated above is true, write some simple processes with time tracking and see how fast they are communicating
I agree that TS is perfectly fine for certain types of system trading - my stuff trades stocks off of 30 minute charts and TS is perfect for this application - as usual - it all depends....
Just wanted to let everyone on ET know that the response so far to my offer has been tremendous! I am always open to helping additional traders, but at the current time I have several paying projects going on. If anyone wishes to have their ideas coded for free, I would still be glad to talk with you and put you "on queue" for when a time comes when my paying jobs are out. Thanks to all who have contacted me thus far.
