They both have advantages and some guys here would be able to give much more expertise about the advantages/disadvantages of the two than I could! The important thing is that these are 2 very good (and not proprietary) programming languages, with so much help available everywhere that you can learn rather easily: after some learning curve (programming is not easy for anyone), you would be able to code about everything. Tradestation used to provide a built-in platform in which one could automate strategies about 2 decades ago: that was a huge advantage at that time for those who wanted to at time backtest a strategy and automate it (sending real orders automatically!) for a fraction of the cost that many professionnals would pay (Bloomberg terminal.) However, this main reason to work with Tradestation is no more a real advantage: you can now automate on Quantconnect with good brokers (like IB for almost all asset classes and OANDA for FX for instance) for a fraction of the price of Tradestation (trading fees), with better order management, better automation (virtual servers are better than desktop automation for many reason), and so on.Īs for the languages, QC allow its users to use very good native programming languages: C# and Python. I used tradestation years ago for a few years, so I might be one of several here who could try to give some experience about both TS and QC, even if, as always, your choice will depend on your own goals! That is just my personal insight.
