At this price level the software is open (= affordable) to everyone. That's why it's called OpenQuant. Since we started in 1997 as an opensource project, I think I know all pros and cons of the opensource initiative, especially in relation to the financial software development. And I also know that "open window" rather means a window that is not closed but not an open source operational system
OpenQuant, Does OpenQuant offer a broker API? If so, is there documentation somewhere? Is Open E Cry supported for auto execution presently? If not, any plans in the near future? Richard
What are the advantages and disadvantages of openQuant compare to something like http://www.linnsoft.com/
OpenQuant supports IB, Genesis, PATS and TT FIX/API out of the box. We are working with Open E Cry right now. They are interested in their API support in OpenQuant. I hope we will have an interface in a week or two. We are also looking to partner with Gain Capital (Forex.com). Regards, Anton
I am not sure I follow your question. OpenQuant is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for quantitative trading strategies development, backtesting, optimization and automation. It's developed with Microsoft .NET framework. Regards, Anton
I know that your product is an IDE, what i am asking is if you wrote the IDE from scratch or you used some open source IDE and added your fucntions into it ?
To OpenQuant: It looks like it's a very promising product. I read the documentation(SmartQuant) and it seems that even though IB is supported as realtime datafeed provider, but it's not on the list of history data provider. Only eSignal and Yahoo? IB does provide history data (QuoteTracker & Amibroker support history backfill from IB) and why is not on the list? It will cost me extra to have eSignal as history backfill, and it will be at least $115 if I trade futures.
