Command-Line Interface for cAlgo/Trader
22 Oct 2014, 07:09


Would be nice as it allows more flexibility and support proprietary application integration with cAlgo.

Good uses would be for periodic, automated re-optimization of strategies or entire portfolios for dynamic parameter adjustments as well as running/stopping cBots from 3rd party software.

Better yet some kind of a public API into backtesting engine or optimizer itself.

That may restrict freedom for 3rd party applications; although I haven't thought about it too much in depth (API). 

As I assume we are both talking from a professional background of money management, both would work just as well.

We will consider both interfaces: API exposed from .NET dll and command line arguments. Thank you for your ideas.

Hi :)

MultiCharts .NET has very nice solution for command-line interface. You can implement similar solution in cTrader as well.
