SmartQuant Discussion

Hi,

I'm in the process of returning to SmartQuant products for my trading needs, and I'm looking forward to the release canidate version of VisualQuant. I've started out writing strategies in OpenQuant again so that I can transition to VQ easily when it becomes time. I pretty much assumed you would be offering a 64bit version of VQ soon enough and see my assumptions were correct. So, in the spirit of things I was hoping is there any chance we could get a 64 bit version of OpenQuant? I understand the main problem is the broker dll's, but I think it would be fair understanding, at this point, that you would just provide TT,Currrenex, and IB plugins as you've done in VisualQuant. I know that the way things are done in VQ are a bit different from OQ, but being able to get accustomed to doing everything in a 64 bit environment would help increase productivity when it comes time to reference dll's, test strategies, etc... Or at the very least leave all the openquant followers, over the years, with the capabilities to upgrade if they're already happy with what they have...

Many Thanks

Hi,

we've just released a 64 bit .NET 4.0 MSVS 2010 version of VisualQuant and we are planning to release a 64 bit version of OpenQuant soon. It's a bit more work since OpenQuant uses MS Access for instrument and order data storage and MS Access driver is 32 bits. Though the good news is that we will replace MS Access with 64 bit MS SQL db and we hope this will improve OpenQuant performance as well.

Dr. Anton,

Great news to read... I've used your product for a number of projects and 64 bit support is about the only thing more you could ask for right out of the box. Looking forward to the upgrade...

Thanks,
