I’m considering two options moving forward. One, I could get a real-time data feed, and build my own trading platform. Two, it looks like I could migrate to TradeStation, and do a lot of custom programming in their EasyLanguage or add-on APIs.
So, anyone out there a tradestation user? If so, I wonder if I could ask you a couple questions. There’s a couple things that aren’t obvious to me from the website. If you aren’t a programmer, that’s ok… some of my questions are about the platform itself. I wish they’d let me download it for a trial in demo mode, or something.
Alternatively, if any of you out there are using a real-time data feed from someone, can you recommend them to me? I’ve been looking, and the most promising one I can find is: IQFeed. They are windows-only, though, and I’d frankly rather have a Unix-friendly solution. Still, I’d be interested in hearing about other windows-only solutions as well.
For either case, if you can help, please either leave a comment, or email me at richard@movethemarkets.com. Thanks!

Wow, so through the power of my own contextual ads, I was able to identify a couple more leads on the data feed front! That’s funny.

I think Trader Mike ( http://tradermike.net ) used Tradestation once, but it could have been CyberTrader…
