Are There Any Professional Parties Using Easylanguage Instead of C ++ Language?

[MadMarketScientist 11]

Studying Easylanguage myself, however I notice all the professional parties request developpers with C ++ knowledge.

 

Anyone know of a profesional party using Easylanguage or do they all use C + or C++ ( .net) or other languages?

Hi MMS,

 

EasyLanguage is adapted from Pascal (thanks to ZDO for telling me that), and I'm sure that this is/has been used by professionals in the industry at some time . . .

 

C++ is certainly not ubiquitous - take a look at a few profiles of regulars over at quant.stackexchange.com. Here's a list of recognized languages from an application form for a quantitative fund:

 

Java

C

C++

PHP

Visual Basic

Perl

Python

C#

JavaScript

Ruby

Common Lisp

MATLAB

 

I think a lot probably depends on the suitability of the language for the particular task, and what everyone else in the environment is using. Ultimately the underlying concept value has got to be more important than the language it's coded in, right?

 

Nobody is ever going to try and run an HFT operation using EasyLanguage (I hope!), but if you're essentially end of day trading then it should be able to do everything you need (in fact, you can probably do everything you need with paper and a calculator).

 

Hope that helps,

TradeStation has many funds and other market professionals as customers. All TradeStation customers that do any customization at all must use Easy Language to some degree.

 

Many of the apps used by these pros are actually written and compiled in C++ and called and implemented via Easy Language and a dll.

 

For example I use genetically optimized neural networks that were compiled in C++ but use easy language and DLLs written in C++ to pass input values to the networks and then retrieve the predictions from the networks for use in automated strategies written in easy language.

 

cheers

I know some pros use the RadarScreen functionality of TS. So many funds are into the arb/HF game, which C++ is the fastest. EL is great for prototyping, and for some live functionalities.

 

TS offers prime brokerage, they mention it in their website... from what i've read most funds use C++ or Python. For speed eventually my plan is to run everything in C++ on Bodhi
