Hello everyone, I have been using a number of different trading software packages over many years and thought I would explore SC, to see how it compares with the current one I am using. 1. I write my strategies, presently in C# 2. Trading frequency is quite high 3. Precision is critical, meaning if I program a strategy and apply it to historic data, if I could snap my finger, go back in time and trade it, I would expect to to appear in real trading the same way. Obviously, if I am waiting in line for a fill, there is latency issues etc. a particular trade may not happen in the real world as historically. At present the claims of other vendors to create a chart with limit or stop orders that accurately present what would have happened historically is either met with a programming issue, a false claim or a continuation of years of bugs. I do not mind helping improve the products new features, but I have felt like I paid handsomely to be involved in a never ending beta experiment, with new features causing problems with other components that once worked. So I am hoping this company and software is different and can accomplish what I want to now. Not after months of fixes that you have to go out of your way to prove are taking place. Being that I have reviewed, purchased, licensed everything I could find, if this doesn't get it done, I will have to consider an open source project and have my own created while I limp along. I appreciate any feedback to help guide my decisions. Presently I make use of bid and ask data using limit and stop orders and set profit targets based on market dynamics. I use tick, range and time bars, with slow charts for me being 1 to 5 minutes. I trade futures and Forex with trade automation and management. I do not see how in the case of a strategy it would be applied to SC the same way. I do not see the use of multiple data streams, be it bid and ask of the same time frame or being able to create and reference different data streams from different instruments. Is that possible? Handled differently than I have explained? I hope this will get the ball rolling, I am sure I will have more questions. Thank You!! DB Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-02-09 13:52:32
