As a certified EasyLanguage Specialist®1 with 5 years experience answering over 17,000 posts on the EasyLanguage® Support Forum, and now, 7 years experience as CEO of Emerald Trading Technologies, Inc., Dave is thoroughly versed in EasyLanguage® nuances and builds on a strong foundation of listening to the customer, bringing clarity to the issues, and finding solutions to the problems. He asks the questions that help you rigorously define your project and decide if it is possible, affordable, and ultimately, desirable. To see his organizational skills, check out his Master Post on TradeStation®. There are many paths that can be taken when writing code. How the code is written can impact how efficiently your strategy trades. Having been exposed to so many other trader's and developer's code and to finding solutions to their issues, Dave brings a broad perspective to coding and a deep understanding of just how to effectively and quickly code in EasyLanguage® while avoiding non-obvious pitfalls.
