Hi
I have a trading strategy which I'm working on from really long time. But I'm totally new to this automation process. I'm trying to optimize, backtest and automate my system. I've gone through many of these threads. But the language is too hifi for me. Can anyone help me by clearing some doubts as follows?
- Heard that coding can be done in programming languages like vb, c++, java etc... Then what is the use of these third party products like trade station, multicharts etc...? do they provide an easier interface for coding? what else they do?
- Can we write code in any programming language (lets say c++) and make it run on these products?(if not fully may be partially)
- On what criteria should we select these products? please do not say 'based on your requirements'. Please elaborate it so that it can be useful for me.
- Heard that there would be various algorithms for optimization. Do we have to customize them? if yes then on what basis can we do it?
- searched in google a lot. every where people talk about backtesting and optimizing forex trading systems. does these backtesting, optimizing apply only for forex markets or what?
Sorry if these questions are too small and stupid for you...but please do answer as they can help many newbies like me.
If you find any article or a book which explains about these aspects please refer it here...
Thanks in advance
