TradeStation® EasyLanguage® Consulting, Coding, Apps

We offer an initial, no charge consultation with screen sharing session, if desired. (Up to one hour)

Your 
Ideas

Coded in EasyLanguage®

First, we help you elucidate the rules for your strategy.  This means listening carefully and asking probing questions.  Transforming your ideas and patterns into rules is probably the hardest part of creating a coded strategy.  Dave is expert at guiding clients down this path. Only after the rules have been determined, do we let you know if, we think the project is doable and how long it might take to do it.  Basically the rules are the blueprint for building the house. Then, Dave turns your ideas into efficient code.  Yes, not all code is efficient and yes, it can affect your trading.  Read more.

Understand a Strategy's Performance BEFORE You Subscribe

Screen
Sharing

Fix your problems "live"

When your TradeStation® platform becomes so entangled you want to pull your hair out, when things don't work as you think they "should",  we can remotely take over your screen and talk you through all the steps to fix it.  We can also record the session for you and then, you can go over and over a process on your own time, learning as you go. We are there to give you confidence,

that you can play around with your TradeStation software and still reset to "zero". We use the reputable, professional software package "TeamViewer". it only works on your computer for the duration of the session. Read More

Take Advantage of Simulated Environment and Backtesting

Most of Emerald's TradingApp Store strategy products can be used in back-testing, smulated trading and full live trading.  This gives you the ability to safely verify if your strategy is working, as you expect, at both the back-testing and simulated trading levels before doing live trading.  Additionally  you can use our products while back-testing, thereby allowing strategy optimization. which is one of the most powerful features for developing strategies.  Read More

Apps

Making YOU a Developer

The TradingApp® Store sells two kinds of strategy products: Trading strategies that trade specific symbol(s) and strategy utilities.  Emerald does not sell trading strategies.  Rather we create products which allow you to modify when a trading strategy trades to enhance the strategy's performance or make it more convenient to use.  Emerald's products allow you to modify when a strategy trades without changing the strategy code, without knowing EasyLanguage®, without hiring a developer, and without having access to the underlying strategy code (i.e. black box). We offer free trial subscriptions and free support for our products.  Read More


Custom Tutoring

Individual and Group Instruction

Dave is skilled at instruction and making the complex understandable and straightforward.  Because of his rich experience in TradeStation® and EasyLanguage®, he can explain the nuances and impediments that many developers do not even know are there.  Read More

In a similar fashion to Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store, the TradingApp® Store allows developers to create Apps, both custom and off the shelf, for Traders. These Apps integrate seamlessly into your TradeStation Application enhancing your analysis and trading capabilities. Having spent 5 years on the TS support forum, Dave designs Apps to solve problems which were frequently encountered.

We offer a free trial period for our products and support is included in your subscription.
