Registering for the TradeStation Add-on Trademark and Logo license is something that may interest you if you are designing TradeStation compatible strategies, indicators and functions as add-ons for the TradeStation active trader audience. Once you’ve become a member of the licensed developer community, you’ll have access to the TradeStation Add-ons compatibility logo that is a highly-recognized symbol among TradeStation users. You’ll also have access to support services, and resources to further your understanding of TradeStation technologies, accelerate your development cycle and interact with other members of the TradeStation development community.
All add-on products designed for TradeStation are achieved via EasyLanguage®. EasyLanguage® is a high-level, English-like programming language specially designed for analyzing securities data time-series. EasyLanguage® provides an intuitive and powerful framework for translating trading ideas into a variety of technologies.
As opposed to general-purpose languages, which are designed to operate only on "snapshot" data, EasyLanguage® is designed to operate on both snapshot data as well as continuous historical data (typically presented as a bar chart). EasyLanguage® can also operate on parallel data from up to 50 securities, with each data series being sampled at a different interval. For instance, a 5-minute bar chart for a security could be overlaid on a 7-minute bar chart for another security, and the two could then be analyzed together for any interrelationships.
Technologies provided via EasyLanguage® include Charting, Options and Quote analysis, Functions and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). These technologies give independent companies the ability to design a wide range of products, from the simplest function calculation to a complex custom trading strategy. Design visual indicators for charting or use any one of TradeStation's ShowMe™, PaintBar™, ActivityBar™, and ProbabilityMap® technologies for a truly unique rendering of trading methodology. The indicator technology has also been applied to TradeStation's Quote and Options Analysis modules, which makes product design possibilities even more limitless.
TradeStation Add-on developers are provided with a variety of communication mediums to obtain technical support for TradeStation operational and EasyLanguage® issues.
