ive been trading now for close to 9 months and im thinking of switching to neoticker but i first want to hire someone to convert my tradestation code to neo tickers code. anyone gone through that process or can you recommend someone who could do the project for me.
Does anyone out there have somewhat of a detailed form of literature that can assist with neoticker programming...I have tried unsuccessfully to interact with "support" through email help...basically I have systems I would like to try and understand their functionality...however...taking these systems from my thoughts to the paper or computer rather have proven somewhat cumbersome...It would be great if someone out there had a methodology for getting a semi-complex system up and running...yea...we all know about moving average crossovers and fun stuff like that....but I'd like to see some advice on something more complex...At what point does your system become too complex for formula language in neoticker thus forcing you to learn C++ or VB?
Try the NeoTicker Blog at http://newsletter.neoticker.com/ Hard to say, but I recommend using Delphi. The Basics of Delphi are pretty easy, you just have to learn the Syntax, and its Language constructs. The hard point, and there is no literature out there for it, is to learn NeoTickers Object Model and how it works. Have a look at their Blog. Start with formula language and when something can not be done move on to Delphi Script. If you run into speed problems move to Delphi (DLL)Programming. Hth Bernd Kuerbs
seems like a lot of unexplained structure to their software....beyond structure explanation received through consulting...I dunno....tradestation trades intra-bar now...maybe its best...was hoping neoticker would have an edge....would it be justifiable to say a neoticker setup has an edge over tradestation?
I never used Tradestation, so I cannot make any comparison. I used some other software, like Metastock, and NeoTicker has a lot to offer over Metastock. When using formula (built-in language) is not enough move on to a full blown programming language. Don't know what you mean by unexplained structure. You have to carefully read the help files and thoroughly search them. A lot of subjects is covered in them, but often not easy to find. I see one advantage of Tradestation: the user community is larger. So if you want support from other users your chances are better. regards Bernd Kuerbs
with unexplained structure...I just meant the formula language seems to be not well defined...in a lot of forum examples I see terminology that is nowhere to be found in any help topics within neoticker...its like some of these guys have a special book with a whole new set of codes
The examples and tutorials in the Help and the (new) Blog do a good job of explaining the Formula Language. But the learning curve certainly is steep. OK, it is bedtime for me now.....
yes...the learning curve with neoticker seems steep...but unfortunatley that seems to be due to the fact that the material that needs to be learned is not made available beyond 2+2...can't learn calculus with an algebra textbook
