Obviously not, most algos I can do for a few hundred bucks. believe it or not but coding in ADL is extremely fast sometimes I can code an entire algo idea from start to finish in under a couple hours.
I have used ADL extensively for a few years when I was trading at a prop firm a few years ago. My profits actually exploded when I finally coded my trading style in ADL, all of a sudden i was trading 10X as many positions, it was great while my edge lasted. Learning curve is not that extreme compared to traditional programming languages. I don't trade futures anymore, just code ADL for clients now. Anyway I'm a big proponent of ADL as a result of my experience and in no way affiliated with TT.
would it be possible to do this? take an order from a platform such as multicharts and then use adl to manage to order from there. how would this work or would i just have to hotkey the order when the system kicks off?
You can connect TT ADL to excel, so if you have another system that generates signals and you can somehow connect to to excel then that would work. Essentially you link up 1 cell to TT and if that cellturns from 0 to a 1 then that signal can go to TT ADL and ADL can trigger a trade or do whatever you want once that signal is generated for example.
so i am able to print to .cvs , .txt, .html all the orders i can actually print out to file just about anything you might need. i thought your site address was on this thread can you post it or pm me thanks, m
so the ADL saga continues.... what a convoluted pile of crap to get ADL to run. MultiCharts Strategy order to Excel, TT, ADL, LIVE? I need orders from MC to run order strategy in TT's ADL - the developer says he needs MC to feed Excel live with orders and then ADL will take it from there and execute the orders. I am wondering in this modern world why would MC not be able to feed ADL direct as that is a product of TT already which is supported by MC? Mark ps first off MC has no built in way to send orders to excel..
Why use multicharts at all? Feed market data from TT to excel. Generate your indicators and send orders back.
