So 2 yrs of profitable trading (with real money) isn't good enough... anyway, would appreciate if anyone could direct me to a source/website where I can find project programmers with IB's API experience.
LOL... Great... I won't shut up. As a matter of fact, I recall that the guy Bluegar was spamming in ET looking for someone to fund his trading model and looking for a job as a system developer. You should PM him. You two should make a great team...
Does anyone have positive/negative experiences with any one of the programmers posted on the IB web site?
IB, do you know IB TWS api programming? I could start a tradestation acct if easylanguage is a better choice...not familar with it... Which do you experienced program traders think is better?
You might find some help with programming your system on this forum: http://www.smartquant.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=46 Good Luck!
Thanks...looks like a useful forum for this approach...seems like many others are doing the same thing too... Thanks,I got a number of price quotes from programmers offering to do this project...including one from ninjatrader that looks feasible... anyone with experience using ninjatrader platform strategy interface with IB? Can an algorithm mainly based on scaling/position sizing be implemented on ninjatrader in the first place?
I too have looked at smartquant but the problem is , if I understand correctly, that you cant leave openquant running unattended as it has no recoverability features. Does anyone on ET run an automated system that can get through the trading day unattended and can handle technical obstacles such as loss of connection with the broker, loss of data, etc and automatic download of missing data after connection /reestablishment of data feed and can determine open positions working orders, where we are in the strategy logic, etc.....
Good question... anyone trading real money using automated programs? ...please share your experience here.
