How is Matlab to program? Difficult?

I run a trend system as well but have never seen particularly good results in backtesting for S&P. I think that's due to it being a composite of so many constituents, rather than a directly traded commodity per se.
 
Matlab is easy to learn, almost more easy than C++, Java....

It is perfecto to make automatic systems, it is powerful, and it can manage a lot of data...

It is a manual of matlab to bigenners...

http://faculty.olin.edu/bstorey/Notes/matlab.pdf


Are a lot of free material on internet, included to make trading systems in Matlab


Regards, Miguel...

If I dont include the commision the performance of mitainvest is 5% more than SP500

I had a programming mistake on november... The backtesting return is 25% annually included commisions.

Thanks.
