For a professional financial trading package with programming capabilities like Matlab, see http://www.lmt-expo.com
Their product, EXPO, can communicate to high-powered datafeeds and databases used by institutions. It's the real McCoy, and it's not cheap. You can download student and professional trial versions.

are not used at all for real time trading, so, having some
of their capabilities built into your own custom tools
would give u great advantage over the others :)
Using them directly in real time means too much work for me.
