Greetings! My
name is Steve Johns, and I'm the founder of
CodeForTraders.Progster is my handle on
the online TradeStation
forums, and
around much of cyberspace wherever I visit.
In case you're curious, the origin of the word lies in the style of
music known as "Progressive Rock", which is one of
my favorite styles of music (along with Jazz). I've actually produced an
original CD of such music, entitled "SunTower" -
which is available at:
www.kinesiscd.com
.
As
Progster, I've been an active contributor to the
TradeStation forums since their inception, and
my career as a trading software developer began by
writing EL code for the TradeStation platform.
I still code in EL, and I still visit the TS Forum, but the demands of successful market
analysis require constant attention to the evolving
state of trading-related technology.
These days, I actively
participate in the evolution of multiple
trading-related products via Forums, emails, and
conversations with developers. I'm a user,
tester, trader, feedback provider, booster and
critic of multiple platforms, all of which I use
personally for various aspects of analysis and
trading.
As a trader, I'm about code
that brings results, running on whatever platforms
are necessary to support it. As an independent
developer/vendor, I'm about offering solutions that
represent excellent value for those wishing to move
directly to high-quality intermediate or advanced
capabilities without writing the code from scratch
themselves.
I hold a BSEE from the
University of Maryland, and have15 years of
pre-financial-market engineering and software
development experience. Since 2004, trading
and market-related software development have been my
full-time
profession.
I'm confident that you can
find something here of value to you, and I hope you
will!
