A free Matlab to Interactive Brokers API ~ forex trading strategies wikipedia

For readers who do not want to pay for a commercial Matlab2IB API, Max Dama has put together a free alternative. Domenic has provided some additional sample Matlab codes for trading.

A user of the commercial product that I previously mentioned reports that "My problem with the matlab2ib product was that it did not have a function for all the Active X methods. ( for example the Market Scanners, Real time Bars and Fundamental Data methods are missing). I also had issues when I tried to steam in trades data(Im not sure if the matlab2ib product allows you to even do this?)." Apparently Maxs API has included these methods, though I have not personally tried them.

MATLAB as an Automated Execution System - forex trading weekly strategy

MATLAB as an Automated Execution System ~ forex trading weekly strategy

I just published an article "MATLAB as an Automated Execution System". (It is available to readers of my book and subscribers to my Premium Content website.) It comes with example MATLAB codes executing a simple Bollinger-band high-frequency E-mini trading strategy.

As I mentioned before, I now find MATLAB to be a good platform not just for backtesting, but for automated execution as well. Of course, not all brokerages have APIs that connect to MATLAB. My example codes are for submitting orders automatically to an Interactive Brokers account.

In general, I find that writing execution programs in MATLAB is a breeze compared to C++, Java or even C#. It takes about 1/5 the development time of a C++ program. Any performance limitations will probably not be due to MATLAB, but to the latency of your brokerage in updating positions and order status.
