Are you using Tradestation?

I am familiar with none of those. Thanks for the tips.

I do use Tradestation, although I really think it is a giant POS, I'm not aware of anything better.

I have had relatively serious thoughts about forming a company to compete with TS. It's only a matter of time before they get their asses handed to them by a company competent in software development. My problem would be finding a business partner who has inroads with a brokerage to partner with.

Have you taken a look at Metastock?

btw, before TS became a brokerage, they were a standalone software app. There's also quite a bit of free TS code available, that you might want to take a look at.

As for developing your own software, for starters, you can just look into hooks to the various brokers, for order entry.
