    Hi,

    I am looking for a programmer to complete an automated program that was left unfinished. It is developed in C++ and using the QT framework.

    Most of the platform has been completed. What is required is to add the account management, some basic functions, and setting up the database to integrate historical data with current data.

    We had started developing it with the GFTforex API.

    Thanks

    It's normally easier to write a program from scratch than to take over an unfinished project. We have a C++ automated trading program - it's free, you can PM me if you're interested. It can adapt to all broker APIs.
     
  3. Most of the house has been completed. What is required is to add the doors and locks, some basic amenities, and setting up the stairwell to integrate the equipment in the basement with that the main house in a way that there will be no tangible difference to the tenants in using the equipment in the main house or in the basement.

    Get it?

    Hi Jcl,

    I thought that your trading platform was written in lite-C. Have you migrated to C++?

  5. I can program it. I sent you a PM

    lite-C is the script language for the strategies. The Zorro platform itself was written in C++, using the Gamestudio API.

    Thanks for letting me know. I downloaded Zorro and read little bit about GameStudio,
    Quite impressive work.

    Have also a small patform going on. Working on Linux using boost/C++. Using Boost.Asio
    for asynchronous messaging. Python for scripting and SWIG to glue the C++ and python
    codes

    Planning to use Qt /PyQt (like FxGxGx does) along with ChartDirector to built some GUIs

    Thanks again

    I wish you success with your project. We're also using Qt for another user interface (non trading related), but I would not use Python for script. It's ok for life trading, but too slow for optimizing parameters. For this a compiled language is better, because the script is usually the bottleneck in the optimizing process.

    You can find a language speed comparison here: http://attractivechaos.github.com/plb/
     
  9. Zorro looks pretty interesting, I'll download it soon.
     
  10. actually Zorro only uses FXCM? uhhh
