Plans for Financial Platform on Mac OS X
Amsterdam, 6th December, 2002 Drew McCormack today announced the
release of a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the financial modeling
softwareTrade Strategist v0.2.1a. Trade Strategist is a stock market
strategy design tool written exclusively for Mac OS X with Apple's
Cocoa API. The SDK is designed to promote Trade Strategist from simply
a financial application to a financial platform, following the lead of
programs like Watson, which has shown the strength of allowing others
to contribute to the code-base. The SDK, and a new release of Trade
Strategist which supports the SDK, can be downloaded at
http://www.trade-strategist.com.
The Trade Strategist SDK is built on Apple's Cocoa API. Using the SDK,
Cocoa programmers can extend Trade Strategist by writing new functions,
which then become available to the user as if they were built directly
into Trade Strategist. There are virtually no limitations to the
functions that could be written with the SDK: they could be simple
mathematical functions, or traditional financial functions from the
field of Technical Analysis, or even Artificial Intelligence algorithms
such as neural networks.
Trade Strategist is software that allows you to combine the technical
indicators found on sites like Yahoo! Finance into trading strategies.
These strategies produce signals to buy and sell stock. Trade
Strategist then takes the strategies and performs virtual trading on
(freely available) historical data downloaded from the web. You get to
see how much you would have made or lost had you adopted the strategy.
Trade Strategist is also a good tool for learning the field of
Technical Analysis. Learning Technical Analysis using a trading
simulator like Trade Strategist has the advantage that the user can see
immediately what works and what doesn't, by testing their trading
strategies. It is also a very fun way to learn: trying to create the
best trading strategy becomes an exciting challenge, almost like a
game. It's paper trading at high speed!
