Hi, we are currently working on Open E Cry interface. We already have IB backfill code and just need to test it, so that it should be available in one of the next OpenQuant updates. Cheers, Anton
How has OpenTicks data worked for your product... are they stable, accurate, reliable enough to use... ? cj... HAVE STOP <img src="http://www.enflow.com/p.gif"> WILL TRADE
Probably for how long for IB backfill to be in place? 1 month? 2 months? or even more? I'm eager to try.
EdgeHunter, I use OpenTick with QuantDeveloper for history its is mostly good although occassionally there are issues getting full recent data (last few days). Live data though is another issue, they have a bug which somehow causes bad subsitute data on rare occassions when there is dropped connection to the exchanges. They're aware of the issue though and are planning on fixing it. Other that they seem fine provided that you are prepared to do any type of outlier filtering etc, as the data comes straight from the exchanges.
Ah, Yes............... Claim fame and fortune, develop the holy grail and when all else fails. Market the useless stuff to retail.. I love this game.. PS, maybe someone should claim that this is a so called shitty product like the first poster claimed tradestation is. Gee, how cute was that as a comeon? .. :eek:
You probably haven't heard the entire story: http://www.quanthouse.com/website/Whatsnew/acquisition.html Now we (SmartQuant) have an opportunity to deliver a scaled down (but based on the same institutional technology) product to retail traders and strategy developers. Actually this is more educational than money making initiative... Cheers, Anton
Seriousely speaking I am afraid we are going to compare apples and oranges... TradingBlox is a product designed for EOD backtesting of futures strategies (Turtle, etc.). I have no doubts that the product does it very well. OpenQuant is designed to offer a complete solution for quantitative strategies trading - from development and backtesting, to papertrading and automation.
