Sorry for the bump. But I am now seriously considering this software, or writing my own entire backtesting platform from scratch. Would really help me out if someone could chime in.
I did try it ages ago and did not take it that seriously. Now I cant try again haha. Also I want someone who is actually executing real strategies against it. This will reveal a lot more issues than just playing on demo data. I am planning on implementing a large account with many different strategies on the platform.
IMO you can anytime drop them an email and ask for a renewed trial license. I wasn't effective in my first 30 days due to illness, and got another 30 days w/o issues.
Working with it for a year now, currently running a S&P 500 stock EOD system (automated, but with an external, one-directional IB interface, not the built-in live mode), consisting of 2 independent strategies. This was my entry into automated EOD strategies and I like RE a lot for the backtesting module, with some shortcomings on the automation side... in never found the live mode attractive or usable for me. And lots of work went into a custom position manager - still not sure if that was necessary though :-) The API is beautiful, much better than WaveLab's I think.
I don't have any experience, but am also looking at it and comparing it to another C# option (MultiCharts.NET).
Would love to hear anyone comment on the benefits of one over the other (or choosing another back-testing app altogether? Tradestation; Amibroker; TradingBlox; TradersStudio; etc?
Would rather use a real language though, and also need portfolio back-testing and market scanning.
Anyway, here's a fascinating article on rightedge:
I've recently bought RightEdge and am going through the process of learning its API as we speak. It's pretty well documented and there are lots of help available on the forums. The forums are very quiet though so I'm glad there's a lot of good questions and answers archived. So far it's slow going (due to me), but I've spoken to few professionals using it who think it's well worth the time investment to learn. It can be used to email charts to you whenever a trade occurs and some other pretty cool features I hadn't thought of before buying it.
