Hello everyone, I'm not new to software development, I've been a developer for fifteen years, the last several years coding with C#. I'm not new to trading, I've traded stocks and options for three years. However, I am new to automated trading. I'm trying to automate the Apex Traders platform, which sits on top of the OEC API. Neither they, nor OEC, offers a whole lot of help getting started. They seem more like they are willfully withholding assistance. I am confident that I can figure out HOW to do most of what I need to do, but what is missing is WHAT I should do in the first place. I've created a simple strategy to get started and learn from, and struggled with trade execution, but got it working. I can get both of those things working in back test. However, I'm tearing my hair out trying to get it to trade in real time. I put the thing out there, enable it, turn on intra-bar execution, and it does... nothing. The Process() method isn't even called. Coding by trial-and-error (and dumping debug to text files) is just no way to live! I've read the docs, they don't help. Most of their docs are just function lists that I can get from intellisense anyway. No descriptions. That's not useful. What would be immensely helpful would be an example. If some kind person would post a very simple end-to-end strategy -- and indicators if the code needs some sort of signal to execute in real-time -- that works both in back-test and real time it would be infinitely helpful. I don't care if it loses on every trade, just as long as it is a good example of everything needed to automate an OEC app. Even if it were EL, I can convert it. Thanks in advance, Platypus
