Being able to use TradeStation codes was what many were looking for many
years ago. And it was and is a good idea. Because without it, it would be
almost impossible to get regular tradestation usesr to switch to a different
trading software package. Because most traders are not programmers and
never will be programmers.
The trouble now, is two fold.
1. There are now many other software packages that can aslo use
TradeStation code ect.
2. For almost anyone that trades. TradeStation is now free.
So, many years ago, the above would have been a great idea. Now it is
only maybe a good idea.
But, will say, looking at it myself. If I was going to make a trading
software package. I would not make it without being able to use
TradeStation codes and a few other of the well known trading software
packages codes in the package.
If not. How would one get many users. Get traders to switch from what
they are now using?
Would also add an easy to use downloader that can get the free data that is
available on the net automaticly. Stock, forex and commodities data.
Would not advise anyone to maybe trade off of the free data that is
available at some places, but for someone just starting out or looking at
end of day testing ect. Free is good to get started with.

Subject: Scalable platform for running EasyLanguage strategies
Folks,
I would like your input on my design [1]. I'm thinking of building
Uptick as a scalable backtesting and execution platform for EasyLanguage
strategies. Open source by all means.
My unique proposition is to enable you to build a cluster of cheap boxes
for running your strategies in a telco-grade fault-tolerant environment.
This will require me to write a translator from EasyLanguage to Erlang
[2] but this is straightforward. What is not clear to me yet is how to
get the data into this environment.
Your input is very much appreciated!
Thanks, Joel
