    Hi Kevin

    Your software looks really good :) I have a couple of questions about it: What language did you use to build it? What about the cool GUI?

    Thanks in advance.

    MDan,

    Thanks for the feedback. It is written in C#, and the UI is done with WPF. Both are part of Microsoft’s .NET framework.

    Kevin, I have coded a couple of backtesting programs myself (in Matlab), but the GUI’s look as if they were drawn by 5 year olds. I’m envious :)

    It’s because Matlab only has very basic GUI tools built in. I think I can do some fancy Java stuff to change them to better looking ones, but that is way beyond my programming skills.

    Yeah I absolutely love WPF. It is incredible how much can be done in just a few hours with .NET and WPF. QLeverageSim was practically written on a weekend.

    I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I think I am going to try out C# myself. The reason is that I am really not using any of the fancy stuff that Matlab is capable and am only using it as a programming language.

    I have looked over the video tutorials at MSDN and I think I will manage it, but there are a couple of areas that look pretty difficult. Is it okay if I contact you with a couple of questions?

    Don’t worry, I’m not going to ask you to debug my code, but I feel like I need a couple of guidelines (like what format to use for date/time or whether to use a database or just save data to files) before I can start.
