What are good platforms for automatically trading a portfolio of stocks?
Thanks for this post also Mattz. However, just like Tradingest's recommendation of Tradestation, I wanted to get some more specific information on why you think these platforms are good for portfolio trading and what experience you have had with them. Have you or anyones else in your group traded a share portfolio with Sterling Trader and Das Trader on an intraday basis. Any weaknesses you have found? Strengths? Quirks?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Tradestation is very integrated platform with scanner instruments, live radarscreen to find opportunity...It use easy language code to coding your indicator for the scan or strategy. It's the best platform because allow you more think that other platform is not make. it's great!!
Quantopian is the way to go I would say. Yes, they do offer minute data. I would suggest you watch some of Quantopian's educational lectures regardless of whether or not you decide to use their platform and even if you don't know python. In terms of algorithmic trading, their educational lectures are some of the absolute best available.
You could give TradeStatation a go. There are certainly some who use the platform to trade multiple algorithmic systems simultaneously. However depending on how complex you get, you will at some point outgrow every retail trading platform available and realise it is better to learn python or R and code things yourself. If you're just starting out though, that would probably be an unnecessarily steep learning curve right out the gate.
