Fellow /biz/nessmen,
I'm looking to write and backtest trading algorithms. Can anyone provide a free DL link to a recent version of MATLAB or any other suitable software?
If you can't find a download link for the software that you will use to write trading algorithms, what makes you think you can write trading algorithms?

I obviously already did. They only look malicious and full of shit. I thought someone on here might use a cracked version that didn't give them aids or the plague.

Not sure why you think practically anyone on /biz/ would be using MATLAB. I would go ask /sci/ honestly, you'd have a way better shot over there.

Except for, you know, all of the supposed engineers that hang out in the college degree threads.
Mech Engr student here. I got a free copy from my local university. If your a student try to ask an engineering buddy to get you an academic license code from the uni's help desk.

Doesn't your university have a license?
If you don't have access to a free MATLAB I'd learn C++, Haskell or Python.

Oh and you'll need an ".edu" email through that universities email or the license wont take.
At least that's how mine did it. Had to re-download it three times to figure that out
any reason to use matlab especifically? octave does a lot of the stuff that matlab does. and i mention octave because it's "compatible" with matlab.. i don't see why you wouldn't use something like python and numpy or R. it sounds like you don't know a lot about numerical programming in general
>>1288681
python is very simple and you can do a lot with it, don't know the first thing about trading algorithms tho so don't know if python is the best option for that specific purpose
>>1288599
To do proper algo trading you'll need to build a platform from scratch. MatLab, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader - they all have their limitations. The only way to fly is to do it yourself.
>>1288604
this is the kind of reply rednecks and dumbfucks in this board make. fucking loser. help the man.
>>1290004
You're right, but he isn't wrong.
Question: is Haskell good for trading algorithms?
>>1290226
No
Use python
