The F Sharp vs Python vs retail trading platform severe limitations debate like Multicharts
This is from one of my newsletter subscribers:
But all your coding is done in Matlab? I am asking because all my algos are based on Powerlanguage from Multicharts and I am thinking of learning Python.
–> Yes Multicharts and other similar retail trading platforms will give you headaches in terms of limitations. I cannot really comment about Python but I have investigated F# which is somewhat similar which has more advantages which I will investigate in coming months. I do see myself using more rapid algo development with this workflow:

….He told me they have written their backtesting engine in Python.
–> It may be hard to extend Python scripts into useful order execution which is why I prefer F# at this point but I could be dead wrong on that
I think Multicharts is really great but i am reaching some limits when working with hundreds of millions of ticks.
