Hello everyone,

I am currently working on developing an algorithmic trading bot, specifically focusing on trading Nasdaq futures. I知 exploring various platforms to determine which would be the best fit for my project. I致e heard good things about Sierra Chart, especially regarding its API with C++/ACSIL, but I知 also curious about other options that might be available.

What platforms do you use for algorithmic trading, and why do you prefer them? What advantages and disadvantages have you encountered? I would really appreciate your feedback and insights!

I use Tradestation for algo trading futures with no complaints. There's a lot of resources to assist with easylanguage programing. I also connect to the api using a python bot. I have never used Sierra charts, but guessing it's quite similar.

You might want to look at Motive Wave, if you want to code in Java. GFF Brokers offers Motive Wave.

And Nasdaq TotalView-ITCH protocol if you're building a limit order book.
