Lol, i thought about build a dedicated platform too but in the past week coding in the various platforms I've realized that all of them are extremely good and reliable, plus each of them have their unique user base. There's no need to make a new one.
second-last update: The innovative products has been developed for: Metatrader 4, Metatrader 5, Ninjatrader 7, Ninjatrader 8, Multicharts 10, Multicharts .NET, SierraCharts, TradingView (web based platform). While the developments for tradestation are still on the way, we plan to launch our products quite soon. Innovation is coming soon!
When selecting a forex trading platform are your trading style and experience level as an individual should be put into consideration.
Etrade is a joke of a brokerage. No professional in their right mind would use them. Just my opinion.
why is that, have you used new Etrade pro lately and their API's? I also use TD Ameritrade, it's combined with Amertrade platform plus TOS and TD Waterhouse and old greenline platforms, they sequence option changes, need to hunt down option dates. Maybe great for retail traders tho that don't know any better. I find tradestation the worst, they'll nickle & dime you to death, plus $99 monthly platform fee and plus feeds. I make the quota but they'll sneak in the fee once in a awhile, good luck trying to get that back. No DRIP and charge 9% margin interest. my credit cards charge less interest. ET charge 6% margin, I rarely use margin but that's highway robbery. Call TS and offer a suggestion, they think their platform doesn't need improvement. Heard their top programmers have left years ago, explains why their platform has been static for last 6 years. It's all written in C, doesn't work well with with java app(s), shows 100% cpu usage. I wouldn't be surprised if they pull out of USA.
I recognize Steve Alexander by his profile picture, and can tell you that I've watched him present his backtested results in front a room full of 40 traders. The strategies he presented in person were legit, and he said there the same exact things he is saying here (that algorithms have a limited shelf-life). Also, I can tell you that I caught a glimpse of his account size on TradeStation (was visible via overhead projector), and it was very large. Not sure if all the money was his or money he managed for others, but it was a large sum. You don't have to believe me, but I'm just telling you what I saw in person.
Yes his post was full of truth, actually by understanding my indicators it is also possible to understand why no algorithm or indicator have a limited shelf life. My indicators will be the beginning of a new era for technical analysis and trading, nothing will ever be the same again. Coming soon
That's a crock of shit. Good algorithms are adaptive, but most people don't have the ability to properly design and implement.
Lol. Hot air for sure. If you google his name it shows he's the organizer of some old fogy meetup.com group in California.
