Short Term Trading Testing Software
Eugene Kononov, the author of JBookTrader, which is probably the most popular open-source platform in existence for implementing automated day-trading algorithms using Depth of Market data (the order book of bids and asks)

An article on this subject was published in the New York Times Business section for 28 March 2010. It may be worth a visit for those interested in very active trading (day or otherwise). Has some cautionary notes about competing with large organizations with automated algorithms that can execute orders in milliseconds.
