Hi all, been looking at this forum for a while and hoping someone can help ...
I've been doing quote a lot of reading about trading forex, following a few strategies and paper trading etc and have a few ideas for further testing. These are mainly short term strategies and as I work full time I began to wonder if I could automate these in some way.
A bit more reading and it seems I could write an EA in something like MetaTrader. Now I've done some programming in my time (java, php, vb, javascript etc), and I'm comfortable with technical analysis, so I'm not concerned about learning the syntax etc. However, today I opened a demo account with Interbank and the metatrader software I installed was all in Russian?!:!: So I'm thinking maybe this isn't the best way to go?
Basically, I'm looking for a free or low cost way to build myself an EA to automate a few strategies in a demo account. If successful then I'll open a real account and test with small amounts. Can anyone advise what I should be looking at here and how I should go about it... in terms of software and/or broker? I know there are products like tradestaion, esignal, ninjatrader along with metatrader but I haven't found a simple clear explanation of what they all do and the best way to get started ...
Help?
thanks
