I use Multicharts and Tradestation Trading Platforms.
Easylanguage is the coding language used in both the platforms.
Some Terminology for the "newbs" or someone who is not from this field.
Strategy- Your core logic which you code which includes Money Management
(Stop Loss, Trailing Stop Loss, Profit Target), Entry Rules, Exit Rules etc.
SPR- Strategy Perfomance Report which includes a variety of numbers like Net Profit, Sharpe Ratio, Max Drawdown etc. (More about SPR in detail later )
Equity Curve- The Curve showing how your equity (Capital+Profit(loss)) has grown over time.
Drawdown- The amount of money you have lost from your Equity Peak.
DD=Equity Peak- Current Equity.
Optimization- The process to look for the most perfect numbers which suit your strategy. Its a double Edged Sword. (more about it later )
Instruments- The underlying asset you are trading. ( Equity , Futures, FX, Commodities ) etc.
SSP- Single Strategy Portfolio would mean that you are trading different instruments with a single strategy. E.g. You are trading USD/GBP, USD/INR and EUR/INR using the same strategy.
MSP- Multi Strategy Portfolio would mean either you have multiple instruments and multiple strategies to trade them. Or it can mean multiple Strategies on a single instrument.
