That is correct. After all I do need a way to feed my trading habit.
Trading education is very expensive as I have already had a chance to
find out with options on earnings and the ER2 vs the ES.
It would only remain to develop the hooks into whatever platform I
choose. And I have a lot of code in C# that I can't run in
TradeStation, and perhaps someone -- perhaps even TradeStation --
will develop hooks for C# to TS Charting.
I am a greedy materialist at heart but the "EL compatibility layer"
for Topdog is an open source project. It's a work in progress since
there are over 1000 functions and reserved words in EL but the source
code repository can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/topdog/.
I don't plan to emulate all the functions, I won't have activity
bars, trend lines or paintbars, for example. Commentaries and alerts
won't be there for a while, if ever.
A lot of things that I won't be translating have to do with
capabilities built into NinjaTrader. I should be able to expand the
functionality of the translator as more functionality is added to
NinjaTrader. This is also why translating from C# to EL may well be
impossible. It should be possible to translate between WealthScript,
EL, Ensign, AmiBroker and other similar trading languages as they
have similar capabilities. It should also be possible to translate
those languages into C#.
I like TS Charting, but have some problems with the rest, and this
may lead to a solution to that.
Indeed!
Thanks, Joel
