Title: [POLL] Is there demand/interest for my trading app? (screenshots inside)
Post by: olsn on January 14, 2014, 02:40:06 PM
Hello,

What I am looking for:
I'm currently looking into the possibility of making my trading app available to a broader audience. Therefore I am for now just trying to get feedback if there is even a need for something like this.
At this point I am NOT (yet) trying to sell anything. (And I am very well aware of the fact, that my trust-level on these forums is, due to my low post-count, not very high :) )
I know that there are different apps available already, like the "QT Open Trader".

What is the current purpose of the app:
I have developed this app for myself to fit my personal trading-needs. Currently the app is actively in use by only 3 people (which includes myself).
Because of this, the app currently only includes a minimal set of features at this point. And because we are only trading on bitstamp, it is currently the only supported exchange.

What can the app do:
- First: This IS a useable trading app, which is in actively use. It is NOT a concept.
- Supported Exchange: Bitstamp (implementing any new exchange will not be an issue if there is demand)
- API/Secret Key are password-protected
- all personal/trading data is stored locally: no dependency-/security-issues on a 3rd party server
- Implements Bitcoinwisdom-Charts (this data ofcourse does depend on a 3rd party service)
- Automatic calculation of the total trading-profits
- Automatic calculation of the current potential profits at the current price
- invest/return calculator
- Live price updates
- Supports multiple windows
- Supports a "docked mode"(see screenshot 5)
- Can implement/display any website (for example different charts or news sites)
- Works on Windows/OSX/Linux (and is currently actively used on Windows & OSX)

Screenshots:

(the data on the screenshots is fictional and does not represent a real trading scenario)

Outlook on what could be implemented in the future:
- Support more exchanges
- Automated-trading features like: stop-loss
- Implement an own charting-tool (which has been approached already, but halted in favour of implementing bitcoinwisdom)
- Implement Newsfeeds
- Display trading history in chart-form
- Make the app more customizeable/Implement different skins
- Implement Twitter-streams
- Porting the app to tablets would be (due to the technology) pretty easy (although it will be rejected by apple at a chance of 99.8% at this point)

Thank you!
