The S# API has potential. Is anyone developing with it? If so get back to me to discuss collaboration. I'm also posting a similar message on Jasonnator's MC thread. Thanks
Can you just give us a short reminder as far as who you can connect to: CQG, Rithmic, Gain Capital?
Thanks,

@stocksharp you should not call it all "stock" and make clear separation. E Trade and Sterling are stock based APIs.
You should make a distinction and call the it Futures (for futures and commodities) and Equities for stocks.
Also, Rithmic has made many improvements to their API since we last spoke. I don't think the old API will work for you.
Please check on it.

This looks like it has amazing potential for the programmer that needs functionality beyond what a major platform like Multicharts or Ninja Trader offers. I've downloaded it and played around with it in Visual Studio.
Where it is lacking is in documentation on how to actually use it in a coherent way for backtesting and live deployment. For the US audience, a demo showing how to:
1. Load data in from IQFeed or similar type data provider.
2. Perform a back test using a simple MA cross over or something from data loaded in step 1.
3. Analyze the results
and then:
4. Deploy a live version of a simple strategy using Interactive Brokers or one of the other common brokerages here in the US.
5. The licenses need to make this work are a bit ambiguous. How much are they and what piece of the framework do these licenses provide?
First of all, the key difference between S# and MC (=NT). We have a set of programs, not just one. The message below was about S#.API. It is a set of .NET assemblies. So no GUI or other features that you can see in comparable platform.
For the GUI we provide S#.Designer (not yet released, so no announce but I'm 99% sure you asking about that approach). For programmers (or for trader who has much experience in programming and prefer to use Visual Studio) - S#.API.
It is a key moment that can explain many finer points.
4. Interactive Brokers
5. As shown here Pricing. StockSharp it is based what the connectors you plan to use. IB, IQFeed - for free (no license file required).
Please ask here or in our forum. No prob to assist.
Hello stocksharp, can you comment on your API in context of Rithmic? I am currently working on development of an automated bot using their C++ in Linux, whereas you're using C# which would be limited to Windows, correct? If not, have you tested it under Mono runtime in Linux thoroughly to verify stability/speed?
Also, what primary/basic advantage does Stocksharp offer a developer in using its functions for interaction with Rithmic's systems versus just going straight to Rithmic's API code/docs?
My colleague did an migration on Mono. It was for tests only, and connection to broker was socket level.
Not sure Rithmic has adapted they own .NET wrapper for Mono. Without that you cannot connect under Mono runtime.
1) Backtesting
2) Charting (and many other WPF components)
3) Simulator
4) Many trading algos, indicators (+70).
5) Independence. Same algo with many diff connections.
