Feels like we’re a dying breed, but I’m still grinding away with Delphi for my trading bots. I'm curious what libraries you guys are using for API connections and data parsing these days. Let’s swap notes and compare stacks.

I'm a bit of a Delphi newbie but I did build a simple backtester using it and Kx Systems' kdb+ for historical data ingestion. It's a beast of a language, I won't lie, but the speed and performance are unparalleled when it comes to crunching large datasets.

Hey guys, been working on a Delphi bot for a while now, using the Taurus library for backtesting and the TWS API for live trading. One thing I've been experimenting with is implementing a genetic algorithm to optimize my strategy, has anyone else dabbled in this?

Yo, that's a serious throwback stack! I haven't seen Delphi used for trading in ages, but if it's fast enough for you, more power to it. Definitely down to discuss strategy logic if you're looking for input.

Yup, been working with Delphi for years and recently started building a trading bot using it, would love to swap notes on performance and any workarounds for the usual issues. What kind of algos are you focusing on, I'm mostly doing trend following and mean reversion strategies. How's your experience been with Delphi's multithreading for concurrent trades?

Yo, didn't think there were any other Delphi heads left in crypto! I’m running a legacy bot on D10.4 and it’s surprisingly solid. Definitely down to compare notes on API integration.

Man, I thought I was the only one still rocking Delphi for this. I’ve got a scalper running on Kraken but the async WebSocket handling is giving me a headache. Definitely down to swap notes on how you're managing order book state.

Damn, didn’t think I’d find other Delphi heads in this space. I’m currently wrapping the Binance API with Indy components for a grid bot. What stack are you rocking?
