strategy trading-platforms

Our strate­gies are avail­able on the major four retail trading-platforms for auto­mated trad­ing: TradeSta­tion 9 ‚ Meta­trader 4+5, Nin­ja­Trader 7 and Strat­egy Run­ner .  If you would like to see them on another plat­form, please tell us so we can tran­scribe the code for you.

Still the most sim­ple but pow­er­ful plat­form regard­ing auto­mated strat­egy devel­op­ment is TradeSta­tion. It helps to get quick answers on trad­ing ideas and changes in code can be seen in no time unfold on a rough back­test. The “Look inside Bar” con­cept is also very con­ve­nient for strat­egy devel­op­ers not to take care for ticks while work­ing on strate­gies. How­ever, TradeSta­tion is not as good with robust exe­cu­tion. Their price feed is not the best in indus­try and orders are seen reg­u­larly rejected. Unfor­tu­nately TradeSta­tion lim­its their users to their own bro­ker­age only.

Nin­ja­Trader has its strong side for man­ual trade inter­ac­tion and exe­cu­tion, and a expe­ri­enced .Net pro­gram­mer who under­stands the sophis­ti­cated object model of this plat­form will love it. Tech­ni­cally it is the most mod­ern and new by its tech­nol­ogy and archi­tec­ture, it has a strong poten­tial to the upside in the upcom­ing years and by now it is one of the best exe­cu­tion plat­form for many futures trader. It sup­ports strat­egy cod­ing con­cepts very close to pro­fes­sional trading-platforms such as  Quant­De­vel­oper.

Meta­trader is the most robust plat­form among all of the retail trad­ing­plat­forms, but has very poor man­ual trade man­age­ment in place. The cod­ing on Meta­trader or  is rather painful for non pro­fes­sional pro­gram­mers it is too com­pli­cated to be under­stood eas­ily. The FOREX Spot mar­ket is their domain and all what they focussed on. a rich mar­ket seg­ment of more than 250 bro­ker­ages gives an insight that their mar­ket­ing con­cept and tech­nol­ogy is sound and defines todays qual­ity level in trad­ing­plat­forms. With ver­sion 5 they will bypass their com­peti­tors, and so far it can be seen, it will be a futures trad­ing plat­form too. How­ever, the pro­gram­ming and cod­ing became even more com­plex due to object-oriented par­a­digms like seen in Nin­ja­Trader and most pro­fes­sional tradingplatforms

Strat­egy Runner’s server-based archi­tec­ture means that trades dra­mat­i­cally cut latency. We fully take advan­tage of their tech­nol­ogy with their soft­ware installed on our  servers, that have ded­i­cated data lines com­ing in and a close prox­im­ity to the exchanges going out.  Strat­egy Run­ner exe­cutes auto­mated trades with­out  the ‘last mile’ issues asso­ci­ated with per­sonal com­put­ers. In effect, we shorten the order exe­cu­tion travel path which expe­dites sig­nal execution.

trading-platforms devel­op­ment process

Devel­op­ing auto­mated strate­gies that are con­sis­tent and sta­ble over the longer term is not easy. It is equally as dif­fi­cult to make each strat­egy per­form sim­i­larly on dif­fer­ent trading-platforms. Too many spe­cial­ties in each cre­ates obsta­cles to be resolved when it comes to port­ing a trad­ing idea among them. Our team here at Cre­ative Break­through does that job for you and your con­ve­nience. You can stay with your plat­form of choice and exe­cute our robust and well proven strate­gies. If you have a sys­tem that needs to be moved to a new plat­form, we can do that as well.

You can take a good recipe for “Beef Welling­ton,” give it to ten dif­fer­ent chefs and get ten dif­fer­ent results. The end result is all in the process. Our pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment & trading-platform is the start­ing point.

Our devel­op­ment and opti­miza­tion cycle is an advanced one. We use an in house pro­fes­sional strat­egy devel­op­ment and trad­ing –plat­form as opposed to the pop­u­lar retail trad­ing plat­form the major­ity use. Our devel­op­ment team build our strate­gies, deter­mine trad­able mar­kets, trad­able time frames and do exten­sive walk for­ward analy­sis on a com­puter grid to ensure that the sys­tems are robust and sta­ble for years of data before we release it. Such pro­fes­sional meth­ods require a rel­a­tively large invest­ment in infra­struc­ture and devel­oper cod­ing power to develop and advance trad­ing con­cepts into auto­mated strate­gies. The top indus­try mem­bers invest up to 10 mil­lion dol­lars to join this “Quant Game.” With the high level of soft­ware tech­nolo­gies today and our pro­gram­ming abil­ity, we can bring to bare on our com­pe­ti­tion 10 mil­lion dol­lars worth of  pro­gram­ing and soft­ware abil­ity at a frac­tion of the cost.

We reveal the devel­op­ment process to you,  we are proud of it as it is cer­tainly is among the top top devel­op­ment processes in the pro­fes­sional quan­ti­ta­tive devel­op­ment scene today. You find also use­ful links and infor­ma­tion what the Quants are head­ing for in our articles.

All trading-platforms have their strength and weak­nesses. After we are happy with a strat­egy devel­oped on the pro­fes­sional Quant sys­tem, we use all four trading-platforms for online trad­ing and know in detail what to look for when using the one or other plat­form.  There are workarounds avail­able such as bridges and con­nec­tions to other trading-platforms exe­cut­ing the trades cal­cu­lated by TradeSta­tion at other bro­ker­ages, but it is even more painful, as the user has now to tackle with dif­fer­ent price lev­els and lost com­mu­ni­ca­tion. In the end, he sits with unsyn­chro­nized trades on two dif­fer­ent trading-platforms and has to deal with losses which are not due to a bad strat­egy, but only due to syn­chro­niza­tion prob­lems.  How­ever, for expe­ri­enced soft­ware devel­op­ers they offer a wealth of pos­si­bil­i­ties, such as cus­tom chart types, com­plete inter­ac­tive trad­ing plat­form devel­op­ment and exten­sions to the sys­tems in many ways.

Alex Pressl is our plat­form geek. He has a tech­ni­cal back­ground of devel­op­ing trading-platforms for test automa­tion in the auto­mo­bile indus­try. It is very likely that the car you are dri­ving is devel­oped or cer­ti­fied by mea­sure­ment sys­tems he has devel­oped. Data acqui­si­tion, pro­cess­ing and analy­sis he knows in great detail for more than 20 years. His insights and abil­ity to cre­ate a multi-platform approach enhances greatly our mar­ket scope with pow­er­ful solu­tions. He is trad­ing his own money by own auto­mated strate­gies and our upcom­ing strate­gies will be much enhanced by this joined venture.

We love to lis­ten to you, if you think we are miss­ing another plat­form or fea­tures on our trad­ing sys­tems, let us know.
