Hi,
I currently use WL6 for signal generation at the top of the minute.
A separate Windows Forms application gets this signal and acts upon it.
This second application monitors stock price every two seconds.
Thus if the market goes against the position it might sell it right away.
In other words the trading piece runs all the time.
My impression of at least WL6:
- It runs at the top of the minute. In my case this takes a few seconds to complete.
My question for WL7 would be if it can be active all the time.
So that it can place sell orders at say 35 seconds into the minute.
I can feed WL7 stock data every two seconds with some jitter.
If this can cause WL7 to run about every 2 seconds this would be good enough.
It will take me a year to move my WL6 signaling code to WL7.
Meanwhile I can use WL7 for trading. Work my way backwards so to speak.
I am trying to establish if I would still need a trading app with WL7.
Thank you for your time!

It's not clear to me why you couldn't pass data to your app with WL7.
Re: Establish a trading app...
How can we answer that without knowing any of the requirements for it?
If you're looking for intra-minute entries and exits, you can accomplish them with limit and stop orders. If the strategy actually changes these values intra-minute, then you could do it from a Strategy Windows on a 2-second bar scale. You see, the need for another application escapes me.
