Good luck. I don't envy you and I (attempt to) do this for a living at home... |

TTBOMK there are no _real_ trading platforms available publicly |
| 14 |
specifically for Linux. Probably your best bet is to look at the stuff |
| 15 |
developed with R which is quite interesting but has a very high |
| 16 |
learning curve. (VERY HIGH) These packages are all part of the |
| 17 |
'TradeAnalytics' project in R. |
| 18 |

Specific R packages: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
FinancialInstrument |
| 22 |
RTAQ |
| 23 |
blotter |
| 24 |
quantstrat |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I've used quantstrat more than the others, and have played with |
| 27 |
blotter a bit. As this is all R-based it works in Linux AFAIK. That |
| 28 |
said I do everything in Windows VMs running in Virtualbox myself and |
| 29 |
just use Windows software, including the above packages running in a |
| 30 |
Windows R-gui. |
