I want to ask you for two questions: 1. Which do you think that is the better software to automated programm strategies,and which one could to be connect with IB. I´m looking a software with the most extensive options to programm,but at the same time, who has a easy lenguage and don´t be to much longer to learn. 2.Are there the possibility to programm a black boxes or grey boxes(automated systems based only in Level II) with the tools that can be taken at home? What programm can be the better to program this strategys? And If this software exist can you explain-me a little bit about it? I´m from Spain and the trading software here are expensive and so bad like a piece of shit Thanks
