I have made a very important survey to figure out what people are using in terms of software engineering with automated trading. I have fumbled with Linux using both C and Java programming language but everything does come down to your broker choice. In my case of Interactive Brokers, I was forced to use Windows with .Net and C-sharp for easier Interactive Brokers API management. I have made a video to further explain this so please watch it here.
Offer your answer at the survey here

This seems to be a first. It seems that there is a research paper on a financial application in the world of quantum computing. As predicted, this is where the next generation of high-speed trading will go.
Get to the research paper here
I have referred to this as the KAREN SUPER STRATEGY
As you know I’ve put out a complete end to end video demo in algorithmic-based automated trading system. One YouTube comments said this:
“One Word: as a beginner… UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! Waow, thats a huge system… I hope i will learn all you know in future Big Thank you, that you share this with us, and that you try to hold it easy! THANKS A LOT!”
Please see the video I am describing here
This is one of my biggest milestones yet as this includes full management of all positions that you open with an Interactive Brokers TWS session.
In fact you can download all the source code here
This is part of my Quant Elite membership
