Moore Tech Insight

An EasyLanguage developer and a TradeStation programmer are usually solving the same general problem: turning trading rules into working TradeStation code. The wording matters for search, but the project scope matters more for a quote.

Moore Tech offers both EasyLanguage programming and broader TradeStation programming for indicators, strategies, alerts, repairs, and conversions.

When to search for an EasyLanguage developer

Use “EasyLanguage developer” when the language itself is the center of the work. That usually means you already have EasyLanguage files, pseudo-code, an old TradeStation strategy, or a specific indicator that needs to be repaired or extended.

Good EasyLanguage developer projects include:

  • repairing compile errors in existing EasyLanguage code
  • modifying an indicator without changing its original intent
  • adding alerts, inputs, plots, or strategy behavior
  • reviewing whether existing code can be salvaged
  • converting EasyLanguage logic into a cleaner TradeStation workflow

If the code file is the main artifact, start with an EasyLanguage programmer.

When to search for a TradeStation programmer

Use “TradeStation programmer” when the platform workflow matters as much as the code. TradeStation projects often involve charts, RadarScreen, strategy automation, order assumptions, session templates, data behavior, and platform-specific testing.

Good TradeStation programmer projects include:

  • custom indicators for a TradeStation chart
  • strategy automation and backtest setup
  • alert logic tied to platform behavior
  • conversion from another platform into TradeStation
  • debugging a script that behaves differently live than it does historically

If the platform workflow is the main artifact, start with a TradeStation programmer.

How to describe the project

The best description is not “I need an EasyLanguage developer.” The best description explains what the code should do on the chart.

Send:

  • the EasyLanguage files, if they exist
  • screenshots of the chart with expected behavior marked up
  • the TradeStation version and chart settings
  • indicator, strategy, alert, or repair requirements
  • examples of correct and incorrect behavior
  • whether this is a fresh build, repair, or conversion

What not to skip

EasyLanguage can look simple, but trading logic still has edge cases. Multi-timeframe logic, intrabar behavior, session filters, alerts, and strategy order assumptions should be clarified before development starts.

If you are not sure how to package the request, use the TradeStation EasyLanguage scope checklist before requesting a quote.

Practical next step

If you have code already, send the EasyLanguage files and explain what is wrong. If you only have rules, send screenshots and a plain-English description. Moore Tech can then determine whether the work fits EasyLanguage programming or a broader TradeStation programming scope.
