I didn't start from the scratch, I already had everything in place (in Excel) and working before I started using Matlab -historical data since 1990, a routine for a daily update of the data, a list full of potential setups, formulas, stats, printouts and so on-. I built up my tools over the course of several years. I simply (easier said than done) had to learn how to get the data into Matlab, to learn Matlab's programming language and the handling of data vectors (among others), and how to procude the printouts. Due to the fact that I've an university degree in computer sciences, it wasn't that difficult, but took it's time. I don't know where you start from (availability of historical data and your data provider for daily updates, your tools you're currently using, your potential systems and setups, your experience in trading and implementing trading strategies, your experience with structuring data and programming languages, among others), so it's difficult to give any kind of advice. What do you mean with 'example' ? I think it would be best to send me an email, hopefully I can provide what you're looking for. Best, Frank Manny,
