Hi there,

Is anyone out there aware of software that facilitates automated (i.e. algo) trading and has a programming language similar to that used in ProRealTime (I think the language is called ProBuilder) or to VBA?

I have a limited programming background but have developed indicators and strategies using ProRealTime - the problem is that this software doesn't link to a broker, requiring manual order creation.

Thanks for any help!

You could use Excel and VBA for signal generation, then just use a DDE type interface with NinjaTrader or others to manage orders.
