I'm looking for opensource trading libraries. I found the following at sourceforge: Ganius (Perl): TA, charting, backtest, MM, portfolio MAS (Java): TA, charting Merchant of Venice (Java): TA, charting, portfolio, papertrading Robotrader (Java): TA, charting, data download QuickFix (C++, .net, Java): FIX engine QuantLib (.net, C++): Quantitative finance libraries Ta Lib (.net, C++, C): TA libraries Opensource Statistical packages (according to another thread on ET): R, Octave, Root, Goose, WinDams Do you know any other trading related opensource programming frameworks/libraries? Thanks.
JAS (http://jas.freehep.org/) is a very good project. Thought it is for high-energy physics, but the programming framework can be applied to financial analysis. SmartQuant (http://smartquant.com/) used to be open source, but now becomes a commercial product with a price tag at USD$1,000. If you are lucky, you may find the source package somewhere. It uses ROOT, a C++ open source package, so if you don't use ROOT, it has no much use. Anyway there are many packages/toolkits for physics you can use for financial analysis, use google to do a search.
Very nice. Thank you. But honestly, open sources are for newbies. Rich guru traders buy software or hire techies to develop software. By the way, any suggestion to find a job? Thanks.
sure they are. that is why 70% of websites run Apache http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/09/01/september_2003_web_server_survey.html
