Hi! Thanks for the input. Tradestation seems impressive. After some more research on the net I stumbled across Amibroker. May I hear your opinions on that. Seems versatile and allows to use external datafeed and is much less expensive than Tradestation. And regarding datafeeds: I do need datafeeds mainly for the TSX, Australian Exch., Frankfurt and NYSE. Mongolian Stockexchange would be great, too. Any recommendations for external EOD datafeeds? Bye Andreas

Hi! I found this forum by accident when I looked for comment on Dr. Tharp and I am thankful for finding this. But upfront: I am no trader in the sense of trading multiple positions a week. So please don't be annoyed at my request for advice/help. My idea: I do have several excellent newsletter that fit my line of thinking that do the boots-on the ground work. Their recommendation most often turn out to be great though often with a time lag. I want to create a system where I can input the recommended stocks (>100) and get an alert when certain criteria get fulfilled, e.g. certain moving average above a threshhold, R-multiples below buying price (part of the position sizing) etc. (but actually I don't have many criteria ) Now here I need help: What system, ready-made software, programming language do you recommend. Ah, and btw, I use Interactive brokers. I tried my way through R, python and a little bit mathematica. And though I learned programming during my physics studies this is more than 15 years away Thank you for your feedback. Andreas
