Title: MtGox Trading Platform Post by: NYConsultant on July 09, 2011, 04:43:44 AM I've been working on a trading client similar in functionality to Trade Station, that allows users to develop automated strategies using a simple scripting language. As an fx trader; used to Bloomberg terminals, and pretty much direct connection to the exchange; trying to trade through the MtGox is nearly impossible. Would anyone be interested in such a project; or know of any similar projects under development?
I'm thinking of building the front-end with either WPF; since i've seen some pretty impressive trading UI's built with the framework. Title: Re: MtGox Trading Platform Post by: aithran on July 09, 2011, 09:41:51 PM I had been thinking about a similar project, but I am curious if it might be possible to just write an extension to tradestation or metatrader instead of coming up with the whole frontend.

Title: Re: MtGox Trading Platform Post by: aithran on July 10, 2011, 04:35:27 PM I'm going to look into it a little, but I'm not sure my coding skills are up to it.
I found this though: http://www.forex-tsd.com/metatrader-4-mql-4-development-course/3395-create-your-own-metatrader-extension-dll.html Title: Re: MtGox Trading Platform Post by: NYConsultant on July 12, 2011, 07:04:41 AM I'm going to look into it a little, but I'm not sure my coding skills are up to it.

No need to redo all of the work. (Plus I could use my existing forex robots :P)
Title: Re: MtGox Trading Platform Post by: BitSense Informatics on July 21, 2011, 06:16:45 PM I've been playing with the same sort of idea as well, minus the automated trading piece (at least in the first version). I hope to have an initial version out there in the next couple of weeks. What are some of the WPF based trading platforms that you have been looking at?
Title: Re: MtGox Trading Platform Post by: Dargo on July 21, 2011, 06:19:34 PM I'm not so interested in automated trading, but would like a platform with basic analytical tools, such as trend lines, channels, fib retracement, Vol % tool (that shows intraday volume as a % of some specified daily average), etc. This is really basic stuff, and maybe Mt. Gox already offers this (haven't tried it).
