We have tens of thousands

    SPY system open trade comments

    We have tens of thousands of lines of code in Tradestation and while we do some conversion, recently I've been porting stuff to tradingview, there are some pratfalls that are not immediately obvious.

    For instance I was porting our proprietary Sine wave indicator based on Hilbert's Sine Wave and tradestation uses degrees while tradingview uses radians for basic trig functions.

    Not an insurmountable issue obviously, but one that requires rewriting a good chunk of the math.

    We're slowly building a library of functions on tradingview and will probably start porting more stuff there, but you have issues with total execution time for strategies which is an issue with some of our more math intensive stuff like the Long Bear trade.

    There's no perfect solution, but it does seem like cloud / web app stuff is the future, and obviously tradestation hasn't done much beyond cosmetic changes in two decades.

    "TradeStation hasn't done much beyond cosmetic changes in two decades." Yes, it's hard to believe...with all the new competition out there that they haven't done more. I can only put it down to the inertia of traders to remain at a broker they've been with.
