One of the major advantages of learning EasyLanguage is that you can think of a trading idea, program it, and then judge whether it has any benefit.
The purpose of this training course, available through Gold Pass membership, is to get you up and running writing TradeStation EasyLanguage programs as quickly as possible. Over the last 7 or so years I have created a huge amount of free training materials and downloadable programs. This course will take a more structured approach to EasyLanguage training by taking you through simple videos and providing example programs that you can copy and paste. In this way you will hopefully gain the satisfaction of creating your own programs which will, hopefully, encourage you to go on to write other programs.
I have created a short video that talks about some of the ‘patterns’ I have modeled in some of my programs and what the theory was behind them.
