Algo / Automated trading - I have a trading pattern I use and
it’s consistently accurate - what’s the best way for me to learn
how to program / build an automated trading program for real money
use. I am looking to take this live for personal consumption.
What software do I need, what trading platform supports this and
do I need to learn a coding language. I am a wt yr retired Wall
Street veteran, but have no clue about automation / electronic
trading. Any advice, guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in
advance. JD

Thinkorswim has built in SW you can use to "script " a
program to apply your system. I think they call it
"Thinkscript". I used it once way back in 2010 or so before
Thinkorswim was bought by TD Ameritrade. Good luck and keep
me posted on your progress.

Here's a Link to some info: https://usethinkscript.com/p/learn-thinkorswim-coding-language/
BTW, I think some of the Thinkorswim "studies" have the source code veiwable.
Good luck and keep me posted on your progress.

Also, Thinkorswim has a Paper Money platform which would allow you to test your system with real data in real time without using your own real money.
TradeStation with Easylanguage is another

TradeStation with Easylanguage is another option. It is more portable not tying you to one platform as Easylanguage works with other platforms too.
