The EFX order server source code is not available publicly.

However, we do plan to support all the new features when it is made available from EFX's API.

Level 2 with MB is supported and should work fine.
If you have trouble setting up, just email our support staff.

Does neoticker support all order entry types like those listed with MB?
I dont see anyway to setup a trailing stop?
Might have missed it.

MB's server side trailing stop is not supported yet.

Client side trailing stop can be done thru a system or the strategic order form.

brwkem,

I'm going to write an order interface between Oanda and Neo in C#.NET, so I may write an interface between EFX and Neo as well. This way, we will be able to add/tune any features/order types etc. as we would like to.

Writing and debugging an order interface responsibly is not a work for two weeks though.

Michal

I think I would be interested in a month to month to try it out. If after 4 months or so and some familiarity with it, if we could convert to a full ownership with some of our monthly payments applied to the purchase price that would be great.

I'm thinking the same after 2 months or so.

JPT wrote:As to converting, thanks for the link to C#. I think I will start there. Do I understand that once I write my code in something like C# which is free from Microsoft, I can run that code at NeoTicker?

Precisely.

JPT wrote:In the conversion, so that no one has to give up anything proprietary, why don't we all work together to prepare a NeoTicker strategy "shell" in C# or their script language.

I've heard there are Neo traders already working on a general trading interface framework. I am planning to write a Neo <> Oanda & EFX order interface in turn, in C#.NET.

JPT wrote:I also assume that NeoTicker or C# will allow an easier use for mathematical and statistical functions.

The System.Math class in C# offers a wide variety of built-in math functions. In addition to that, there is a lot of third-party math & statistics classes developers on the internet. Personally, I'm having an eye on Extreme Optimization Mathematics Library for .NET :smt003

Michal,

For those of us learning C# for the first time, what would be some good resources (i.e. books, forums, websites)?

Eudaimonia (pron.: you-die-moan-e-a) (Greek: εὐδαιμονία) is a classical Greek word commonly translated as 'happiness'. The less subjective "human flourishing" is often preferred as a translation.

Ed, the links to some good resources are here:

C# really rulez. My C#-coded stats I am now working on go thru a 40MBytes 1-ticks datafile in about 2 seconds (I guess the limiting factor is the hard drive reading speed :) ) The same stat would need several dozen minutes with Tradestation & EasyLanguage.

I remember the common ritual of starting some tick-level statistics code in Tradestation and stretching out for some trading book to read the next chapter :))

Michal,

Thanks Michal. I'm definately interested in becoming a NeoTicker convert. The primary barrier for me is learning the new language. Its quickly becoming obvious this is something I need to get onboard with.
