TradeStation™ has gained worldwide acceptance as the premiere investment software platform, but information regarding it has been limited and focused mainly on functionality–until now. In Building Winning Trading Systems with TradeStation™, systems experts George Pruitt and John Hill show you how to unlock the power of this platform–specifically TradeStation™ 6.0–and profit from it as you trade a variety of markets including the futures, commodities, and stock market, to name just a few.
Building Winning Trading Systems with TradeStation™ is essentially two books in one–a trading system development guide and a guide to TradeStation™’s programming language. Within the first few chapters of this informative resource, you’ll be introduced to EasyLanguage®, the powerful programming language that sets TradeStation™ apart from other software packages. Building on this foundation, Building Winning Trading Systems with TradeStation™ discusses the essentials of programming, from proper programming techniques and program control structures to data structures and analysis techniques such as PaintBar, Indicator, ShowMe, Function, and Strategies.
With the basics of programming behind you, this comprehensive guide covers all aspects of researching, building, understanding, and evaluating your own trading strategies and systems in conjunction with TradeStation™ and EasyLanguage®. In-depth analysis provides practical guidance on:
• How to understand trading system performance and proper strategy optimization
• Good trading ideas, their codes, and how to translate them into software
• How to fix your logic and programs through the art of debugging
• Developing, researching, and testing trading ideas
• And much more
