If such data is available, would it be possible to hook it up to Tradingblox, so that it dynamically updates margin information during simulation? The whole margining issue can get ridiculously complicated for backtesting purposes, so looking only for the statistical edge is very tempting....futures...

Choice of Database
Hey guys, Here's a question that I've been grappling with recently: What database to use for storing EOD data? I currently have over a couple of gigs of data, spread all around the place, and am thinking of integrating it all into one database. Am considering SQL Server or MySQL and the ever trusty ...

charting component for your engine
Hi,
I'm thinking about buying charting component to use in my engine, but can't seem to find too many online. I've heard of TeeCharts by Steema Software - but they are quite expensive. Does anyone have any opinions or reviews to offer on their product (or any others)?

Using functional languages such as Lisp in your engine?
Anyone here used functional languages such as Lisp, ML, Prolog in their sim engine? These languages are quite fascinating - being bottom-up, extensible and so on. I would love to hear the opinions of people who have experience with functional languages in the trading arena.

Some very good points there Kevin - I used your list to do a quick run through against my program 8) Planning for evolution is probably an oxymoron... I guess at one point, we as programmers have to decide that one can't generalize any more without encountering significant costs (time or otherwise)....

Since I've just completed the first phase of my simulation engine in C# (using VS.NET 2003), thought I'd add my 2 cents - Frankly, the logic of most types of simulators can be expressed in most languages without much trouble - the question is to find a tool that doesn't get in your way and provides ...
