Automated Mechanical Systems

    Posted by bobhug on 20th of May 2009 at 04:47 pm

    I am interested in automating some or all of the mechanical systems. I have a few questions with which I would appreciate some help:

    1.   Has anyone done so? 

    2.   If so, what platform are you using?

    3.   Anyone using thinkorswim?

    4.   Did you write the code yourself or have a programmer do it for you?

    5.   If a programmer, will you please give me his/her contact information?

    6.   Did anyone consider doing so and decide against it?

    7.   If so, will you share the reasons for doing so?

    Thank you very much!

    Bob,

    Start by searching the posts.  Think or Swim will soon be bought out by TD Ameritrade.  TOS does not have autotrading right now.  TD Ameritrade Strategy Desk has autotrading capability.  Search EliteTrader.com Autotrading forum for some ideas.

    I was on the tos website, they do have autotrade available that can be linked to newsletter recommendations; it's worth looking into - can't phone them today because of the holiday.

    HI

    I believe that the autotrade in TOS only works off of trade triggers provided by an external service, not personalized parameters like we need for SRS etc

    Perhaps a next version of TOS might provide this or perhaps Breakpoint trades would consider providing the trade triggers to TOS as an extra revenue producing service.

    Spoke to Tom Sosnoff in Vegas about auto trades like SRS. He said they have it but won't release it for a couple of months because they are afraid people will be confused with so many new programs.
