You have been directed to AB AT for autotrading design. It seems you
do not use Interactive Brokers. The AB AT interface provides an
interface to the IB TWS trading platform. It does not support any
other broker. There are some other applications that may be used but
there isn't much discussion about them there. If laser provides an
API that you can use from inside an AB formula then the discussion on
AB AT may help with some of the design functions you will need to
write.
Building the interface to trade a single stock is not a trivial task.
Don't assume the simple trading examples will suffice, they won't.
They will just get you started in the right direction.
What you see on a day trading chart is not the same when a program is
dealing with live data. You can use simple AFL but the logic needed
to accomplish auto trading is not simple. Designing one that will
handle multiple stocks in the same formula is another thing and much
more difficult. You can do this using a watch list and there are some
examples of now to do that. Expect to spend many months getting it
working properly.
You will need a pretty fast computer to handle multiple stocks
especially if you formula is complicated. It will be processing ticks
from each stock as they come in and your trading system can't afford
to miss any ticks. I haven't tried to handle multiple stocks but some
on the AB AT forum are doing it so ask them what you need to consider.
