Automatic System Creator

  Trading System Lab (TSL) is a software platform that automatically creates trading systems, its developers announced. Tsl reduces or eliminates the need to learn a programming language since TSL also generates the system code in several languages, including EasyLanguage. TSL will create single market systems, pairs systems, portfolio systems, daytrading systems and options systems, including options trading equity curves. This software makes use of a genetic program that is more advanced that a genetic algorithm. TSL accepts different data formats and allows users to set their own trading system requirements and patterns or indicators as input data.
