Echo Pro: trading platform
Ensign – guy likes cause he can’t program, no good for backtesting
www.yourika.com: tape reader/analyzer
www.tradesignal.com: german, not available in US. Claims walkforward opt though!
www.tickquest.com Neoticker. $1297 one time or 90/mon. Uses data feed esig, etc
non-programming tool for rapid prototyping, Neotickers own formula language,
variety of scripting languages, external dev environs Microsoft etc.
Backtest and live simulating. Grid optimizer, spread work to multiple computers,
All good reviews on elitetrade.com,
I actually found a friendly voice on the other end of the line.
Neoticker is compatible with the 4 brokers listed, MB Trading etc.
Ninja Trader is not a requirement.
Neoticker is also compatible with Ninja Trader. If you have Ninja Trader then you can
use any broker that Ninja Trader works with. Neo will send orders through Ninja.
None of their compatible data providers provides years of emini history. But Neo
can import the history from a data file and do backtesting.
Their Grid Optimizer is released. It does Walkforward Optimization.
There’s a 3rd pty add on that does genetic optimization.
He suggested using MB Trading, they have free sim accounts.
Smart Quant is great. It’s not a trading platform, it’s a strategy development
platform.
