80% of successful automated trading strategies rely on technical tools to program, launch, execute and manage them. Believe me, you’ll get many other problems of many kinds with other platforms. Nothing is “plug and play” in automated trading.  Latency, slippage, broker’s failures, wrong codes, platform’s bugs are the so many common problems you’ll encounter, even with MatLab.

I know there are frustrating times when we do not know what’s going on and we would like everything to be better, but I can not spend my time reading and moderating messages where I can read “It’s better elsewhere, I’m leaving”. I created and I maintain this forum to help people who want to stay and it is not easy every day, thank you for your understanding.
