Obtaining help with programming tasks
I am not a programmer and would like some help with programming tasks as they relate to trading.
Specifically, my current developer is using C++ with SierraCharts to code a trading strategy, that looks for signals in a real-time stock chart, and then does a lookup to find specifically which underlying derivative call option to buy based on the signal obtained from the stock chart.
It turns out that not all trading platforms will support this kind of complexity.
SierraCharts allows a trader to use the raw code in a real programming language which is also part of the reason for the choice of platform.
It also turns out that in order to use the strategy, with SierraCharts, a would-be customer wouldn't have to pay as many platform costs to use it.
This is so complex that it has been difficult to connect with developers that can do this kind of work.
I need to better understand the structure of the code perhaps, in order to know where to go seek help because I am thinking that "anyone" with C++ knowledge might be capable of helping.
Is my current understanding of the below items correct?
Namespace - contains keywords specific to C++, and hold various libraries that contain functions
Library - there are proprietary and non-proprietary libraries ?
Functions - related to particular fields such as stock trading
Keywords - specific to C++ in general
