![]() ![]() This means that Mathematica will set one back $295, while MATLAB, with the appropriate toolboxes, costs at least $10 000. ![]() While Mathematica discounts its product for hobbyists, MATLAB only has student/academic or commercial editions. The problem with MATLAB is that it is too expensive for most (?) on this board. I found MATLAB easier to use for trading-related analysis, and MathWorks have made numerous videos that help one get started quickly. To be fair, Mathematica has had a (free) link to Bloomberg for years, and Mathematica is also compatible with RMDS. ![]() On a different note, the new "SystemModeler" (MathModelica) looks very cool and I look forward to playing with it. I still intend to use any of the other tools for rapid prototyping. As I'm after something very specific, but rather simplistic, it makes more sense to build it from scratch. I ended up learning to program instead, and I'm now working, albeit quite slowly, on my own application. I've yet to try the "Finance Platform", which looks interesting, but I assume that it's relatively expensive. The time series package seemed decent enough. ![]() I was also interested in its symbolic capabilities for options modelling, but I never got around to doing much with it. I like the syntax of Mathematica, and the visualizations are beautiful. I found Excel and R more suitable for my needs. I'm using both Mathematica and MATLAB for schoolwork (only sporadically since the end of last year, so I'm by no means very experienced), but I haven't used them much for trading purposes. Wanted to see if anyone else has some input. Curious now that they have wavelets if there is something usable here for a retail guy. (this is how you get real-time to MS excel) I will give some feed back on this next week. I just bought the regular version (1 gig download) and going to try and get real time input via DDE from metatrader. So is anyone using this finance platform or regular Mathematica in their analysis.? ![]()
