Anyone interested in developing a new trading platform?

[viruscore1]

That's a very valid statement. I agree with you but what I would mostly like is a trading platform where a bunch of traders can provide their input on what they would like the most in their platform. I don't want to sound too cliche but basically a trading platform made by traders and made for traders.

You really think you can make everyone happy all at once. And you are the very first person that thought of this break through concept...lol
Ever heard of open source? Start here ...

What kind of new trading platform are you going to offer? What are the new features?

Unfortunately, very limited to say the least. I was hoping for this to pick up steam from some experienced developers that would be willing to create a platform based upon the majority's liking. Do you have some experience with coding?

I have been writing software for about 18 years. I can tell you right now this project will likely never get off the ground. It is going to be nearly impossible attracting talented developers to this project given the project initiator (you) really does not have much to bring to the table. That is unless you have strong entrepreneurial abilities and can raise funding for this project. Not trying to be negative but writing good software takes a lot of effort and most of us who write code for a living choose our side projects very sparingly.

Making every trader happy would be an impossible task. Nonetheless, if every innovator stopped his plans due to simple mockery on behalf of others the world would remain stagnant.

Are there any specific features you would like to see included in a trading platform? Any input I receive from fellow traders is greatly appreciated.

If you can develop a stable and trustworthy Python, event-driven analysis/automation platform, you’d be golden. I have yet to find one, and some pretty smart guys have been trying to tackle it. Tick data capability would be mandatory.

Here is one example:

If you are not profitable trading with existing platforms, a new platform isn't going to help. Get your millions inline to pay your development team. Good luck and may the force be with you...

Awesome. Thanks for providing an honest outlook from someone with experience in the field. I do have some attractive propositions in mind for developers that would be willing to partake in this project.

Thanks for wishing me the best. No doubt, a platform change should not warrant miraculous profitable results. Once my project is finalized it is most definitely geared toward traders that will find the platform useful in addition to their existing trading conditions, whether they be profitable or not.
