I saw them but appear that they are focused on backtesting and trading using Interactive Brokers end of the day service, so nothing near what I want to.

Hi dam5h, thanks for responding. In fact I prefer to remain focused on Matlab, since I already invest time and money, and can have faster progress to main goal. I already tried open source options such as Octave or R but they have a longer learning curve for a list of reasons (from documentation to available tools/libraries/examples to IDE features to community support) Do you have any suggestion about a Matlab based environment?

Hi to all, I'm a starter on Matlab (the last time I used was 10 years ago during my physics laboratories!) but really interested on algo trading. This is the first time I post here so to present myself I work for a financial software company as business development, I am finishing a EMBA and starting to study for analyst certification. So I'm not a real tech guy but I wrote my part of code, some time ago. I find in Matlab the ideal platform to start again using a easy language that hide the hard tech elements of coding and allow to concentrate on the real problem of create algo and elaborate data. Since that I want to know your experience (or informations too) about creating a realtime algo trading platform based on Matlab. I mean using Matlab for the realtime analytics and order generation, and someting elese for tick capture and order execution. My idea is to create a sort of demo with a very simple algo, and understand better how this kind of systems works. Thanks, Davide
