I agree with Val that Matlab is a very good software tool for math
computation and graphics visualization. It was originally designed for 2-D
matrix manipulations with some limited 3-D display capabilities. Since
Ver.5.0, it has got a true 3-D matrix capability. I have been using Matlab
for writing trading systems for quite some years. It is a very flexible and
powerful tool. In my opinion, there is nothing that the Easy Language can do
but Matlab can not do. But there thousands of things Matlab can and EL can
not. Comparing with Matlab, Easy Language is not very easy at all.
Furthermore, Matlab is a real computing language that lets you focus on the
problem rather than on the language itself (such as C and C++). For anyone
who wants to break the limitations of TS and EL, I can not think of any
other better software than Matlab plus its Toolboxes. I have no affiliation
with Mathworks (the manufacturer of Matlab). I am only a happy user of its
products.
