MtGox Trading Platform

[NYConsultant]

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.

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.

This would be great, since it can provide a better graphics and tools, but I'm not sure if it's possilbe to write a extension to metatrader

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:

This looks pretty promising; and would probably yield a better result (using an industry standard platform instead of rolling my own)

My thoughts. No need to redo all of the work. (Plus I could use my existing forex robots )

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?

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).
