A Quant's perspective on building a trading system.
Thank you for the above comparisons, I also agree with the last statement regarding the developer having the final word over which language is best for them.
Absolutely.
I don't believe I'm following this last portion above. I was under the impression C++ did have access to low level facilities? Could you @artemiso or someone else elaborate on this portion.
I appreciate you opinion on this matter, thanks. It seems that MATLAB, in your opinion, provides additional benefit in exchange for a small expense. I believe there may even be an offer for a free download through university, which I recently discovered.
I greatly appreciate your experienced insight @artemiso
I did not expect such a comprehensive and detailed answer. The information you have provided has helped to clear my mind and fortify my choices. I also agree with the last lines 100%, I have experimented with various languages already and I like C++ the most, it comes down to personal preference and what you can personally do the most with.
I apologize for bringing up an un-relevant programming topic in your thread OP! I am done now, just wanted to thank Artemiso.
You have always made excellent and informative posts, but sad to see that you usually delete them.. sigh..
Agreed, I too enjoy his posts but find the constant need to delete them curious. In any case, everyone who is subscribed to the threads gets artemiso's replies via email even if he delete's them as per his modus operandi.

Sorry, I didn't mean to flood the thread and someone else has already quoted my post anyway.

Yeah, there's a lot you actually can't do in C# .NET without interop; some of these are Windows limitations, I'm not sure if the same extends to Mono (never tried). I was saying, if you're debating between the two at all, then probably performance doesn't matter that much to you as you think.

You're welcome and good luck as always.
Okay that is what I thought you were referencing. I have been under the impression that C++ was the more wise choice for what I desire, which is why I chose it and am sticking with it. I simply wanted an educated opinion to shed additional light on the topic, which you did, thanks again.
Ok, lets talk about the next indicator, the SoderstromCloud. It is the Ichimoku Cloud with both the Senkou Span A and B but it add something unique to the mix.
If you do the math on the Snekou Span B it is always the 50% line in the Fibonacci retracement looking back the standard 52 periods of Ichimoku; and acts as either support or resistance. Many times you will see price peak out of this line and retrace back true it causing a false signal.
But what I did to add cushioning by expanding the Senkou Span B to the next nearest Fibonacci line. I am not a complete believer in Fibonacci, but because many traders are I think it becomes a self-fulfilling S&R. Logically, to me if I was going to fatten the Senkou Span B line (needed for proper position sizing using Van Tharps R-multiples) the next Fibonacci retracements makes sense.
Attached is the indicator, like before I will also post it in the elite indicator section.
Cheers, Sody
@SodyTexas
I have installed your indicator and only get a cloud visible.
How do I get other components?

The other are the Ahrens indicator
