QuikSharp is the Quik Lua interface ported to .NET.
QuikSharp exposes all functions and events available in QLUA as C# async functions and events.
A simple Ping/Pong benchmark shows c.60 microseconds roundtrip time for Quik (MacBook Air 2012). This is almost negligible compared to Quik's native latency (from the terminal to a remote server).

Use NuGet to install QuikSharp into your project.
PM> Install-Package QuikSharp
A folder lua with all required scritps will be added to your project.
Start QuikSharp.lua script from Quik and normally never stop it
manually (it will be started automatically when Quik starts). See unit tests for
usage examples in C#.
(and not Lua or DDE or other libs)
-
Because one should be crazy to use for trading some 3rd party closed source code with unclear licensing and support (even tested and popular like StockSharp).
-
Because Quik is dumb, slow and painful - while .NET is smart, fast and pleasure to work with.
-
Because Quik is a niche legacy soft that has its market share for historical reasons. One should not invest more than a minimum into such software, but should abstract away its idiosyncrasies as much as possible. Most platforms have .NET API and it is the choice for new development.
