Instalment of a Developers satisfaction manager for Automate.

To me and also other developers It looks like supporting the Automate API seems not to be of much importance to cTrader.
There are lots of improvements to be made (some are extemely easy to do as just by declaring a property or method public).
But i think somewhere in cTrader Softwaremanagement there is someone who just does not love the people working with automate and probably thinks they are a neccessary nuisance.

The cTrader Forum reflex is always ' Make a suggestion' whilst chancing the word private to public would take less time.

And if you want to follow the advice and look at the suggestionlist, you'll see it has no effective search function making it look like it is made to disperse ideas by not making it easy to find suggestions and vote them up.
This results in lots of suggestions that, combined, would have had a big upvote count but, because they are dispersed all over the place, have no importance anymore.

Also the fact that some suggestions with nice upvotecount are open for many many years, support my believes that developers are not that important (anymore).
It is absurd that programmers can't use the routines available (like calculating commission, tradesize, accountconversion, ...) to make their work easier and better maintanable inherrently improving the total platform experience.

It its astonishing to see that the .Net platform ideas bounces from 4.x to Net 2 to . . .  and in the end still leaves the developers with an almost ancient platform to work with thus depriving them of contemporary  libraries.

My wish is for a

dedicated developers 'automate' satisfaction manager
with the responisbility to drastically improve the developers experience

in the cTrader team as an enabler for better developer support and developer oriented platform development resulting in a better platform.
So i'd say cTrader: Developers First or at least second;-) !
