Financial Trading Software?

Posted by Cliff on Saturday June 26, 2004 @03:08AM from the not-spending-money-to-make-money dept.

finance-geek asks: "What software do you use for trade evaluation? Are there any good free programs out there? I am a former programmer now working at an investment fund, and I am shocked at the limited number of applications for evaluating and back-testing trading models. We currently use Wealth Lab , but since they were recently purchased by Fidelity, we are less certain about the future of their customer service. I checked out SourceForge.net but only a few programs looked interesting, and it will take me a while to evaluate them. Any suggestions?"

The most likely reason for a lack of free software for this application is it's not common for someone to have experience programming and this sort of thing.

You are in this unique position, so I would recommend you start such a project yourself.
