TradeStation 9.0 Developer Challenge Underway
October 05 2010 - 7:40AM
TradeStation Technologies, Inc., the award-winning trading software
company for the active trader market, today announced it is hosting
the TradeStation 9.0 Developer Challenge, a competition designed to
recognize independently-developed analysis techniques that
highlight the power and flexibility of EasyLanguage® in the 9.0
version of TradeStation, which is expected to be released in the
fourth quarter of 2010. The company believes that TradeStation 9.0
will once again reset the bar for trading platforms in the retail
brokerage industry by empowering customers and developers to
automate and test strategies in the equities, options, futures and
forex markets unlike anything else currently available.
EasyLanguage 9.0 (the enhanced version of the company's
industry-standard strategy design language that will be released in
TradeStation 9.0) has features and syntax found in many
object-oriented programming languages and includes a powerful set
of new components that give users the ability to easily monitor and
act on important trading and market data
information. TradeStation's development environment has
also been enhanced to integrate seamlessly with these new syntax
and library enhancements. These tools should provide valuable
assistance to traders who develop or create EasyLanguage analysis
techniques.
Another significant enhancement to be included in TradeStation
9.0 is the Grail Walk-Forward Optimizer and Grail Genetic
Optimizer. The Grail's unique model of 'Walk Forward' testing
allows the trader to see how the strategy he or she has tested
against a historical time period will perform against various
unseen market data metrics and time segments within that
back-tested time period. The company expects to offer the
Grail in an update to TradeStation 9.0 in the earlier part of next
year.
"EasyLanguage, an industry-standard programming language used by
developers to create indicators, strategies, systems and other
tools that are compatible with TradeStation, has always been a
cornerstone of the TradeStation platform and the release of 9.0
will greatly enhance its capabilities," said Salomon Sredni, CEO of
TradeStation Group, the parent company of TradeStation
Technologies. "Programmatic access to information
such as market depth, orders, and positions will allow our users to
enhance their existing arsenal of analysis techniques. They
will also have the ability to perform algorithmic trading,
programmatically monitor risk, and utilize market depth
alerting. We continue to look for ways to support our active
trader audience and, toward that objective, are excited about the
upcoming release of TradeStation 9.0."
In order to participate in the TradeStation 9.0 Developer
Challenge, candidates must be an accepted developer in the
