About this title

From the Back Cover

Praise For TradeStation® Made Easy!

"Sunny Harris has been a TradeStation® user and advocate since its inception in 1991. Her back-testing methodologies using TradeStation® have remained widely popular over the years with online strategy traders. Sunny's writing is thorough and easy to read. We think this is a valuable book for anyone who is interested in learning more about strategy trading."
―SALOMON SREDNI, Chairman and CEO, TradeStation Group, Inc.

"One of the early users of TradeStation® software, Sunny Harris has been studying and programming trading strategies for more than thirty years. . . . Through the many examples Sunny walks you through in this book, you'll have a much better understanding of how to use EasyLanguage® to create your own strategies."
―From the Foreword by BILL CRUZ, founder and former CEO, TradeStation Group, Inc.

With over 100,000 users, TradeStation® has become one of the most popular tools for both professional and individual traders. While the software allows traders to design their own strategies, back-test them on years of historical data, and then computer-automate them, it's the power of EasyLanguage® ―TradeStation® 's proprietary programming language―that makes all of this possible. By mastering EasyLanguage® you have the power to test, and potentially profit from, any idea you can imagine.

TradeStation® Made Easy! is the first and only book to explain exactly how to use the unique language behind this bestselling software program. Written by self-taught EasyLanguage® programmer Sunny Harris, this one-of-a kind guide covers the essence of programming in EasyLanguage® and provides valuable real-world insights from years of author experience in this field. Along the way, Harris also walks you through the process of installing TradeStation®, using it for the first time or two, and writing your first several indicators and strategies. And while new versions of TradeStation® are always released, there's no need to worry. The concepts found throughout these pages are applicable to whatever version of TradeStation® you may be using. It also works on MultiCharts.
