Joel,
You say: "In fact, I think accepting EL as input would be key to the success
of such a system."
I don't really think so. As you can see there are some software that can do
that W59 and Traders Studio, at least that's what RB says. Both have not
become a great success (yet). When looking at the setup that you are
planning, you are aiming at high end users anyway who (should) know how to
program. The high end users of TS use DLLs for there programming anyway or
move on to some higher software.
I would try to find a programming language that is easy to use but give
unlimited power to the user. I much more believe that the key to success is
to offer something that the three big trading software companies don't offer
at the moment. What that is, I don't know since IMO 99% of the need is now
covered, but the one thing I can think of is real heavy ID tick by tick
trading and optimization. But then again, those who want that and programmed
there strategy based on this data are usually high end programmers and end
up programming there one tailored C or C++ program for trading too.
So, unless you have an established product and want to steal a few TS
customers then I would not go that way.
Kind regards,
Volker Knapp

I'm outside of the US and so suing me would be just a tad hard. Open
source is also a major point. I can cease and desist but the software
will be in the open. I have no business to loose since there's no
business yet but there's a lot to gain, potentially.
I'd like to give it a go as something like EL running on top of an
industrial-strength real-time platform like Erlang should be mega-
cool. It would be no less cool with a VB or JavaScript interface, of
course, but EL is far more widespread. In fact, I think accepting EL
as input would be key to the success of such a system.
I'll be posting updates to http://wagerlabs.com/uptick. The RSS feed
is in atom.xml
QuantStudio is still around. They have a QS++ product called
QuantDeveloper. I have been told it's a 15-20% improvement over QS
but they charge almost twice for it :-). Can't vouch for the quality.
