Is anybody using the oop approach when building studies and trading system? I can see that most (if not all the examples) are procedural style code, which is ok for simple things but I find it quite messy for more complex stuff and generally I like having things encapsulated in classes (Java deformation), so I am thinking of refactoring the code into OOP. But I have not tested anything yet and I don't know what kind of caveats it can have. Any suggestions on this topic? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-02-14 20:15:29

Hi, I have been using std classes like std::map without any issues. So my advice would be that custom classes can also be used. Regards Vivek |

yeah, sure, I am using std:: a lot. I mean custom classes - I have for example a Logger class, or class handling DB connections etc. I would also like to wrap the system logic into a class

Other custom classes can be used while taking care of threading issues, ie with DB Connections etc.

Yes it works fine. If you need to to do some heavy things or endless loop, it can be executed in the separate thread.
