new UI and API suggestions
13 May 2013, 19:49


Hi!

 

You've made a nice trading software, I like it! Pretty good and optimized use of .Net :-)

While I'm working with cAlgo and cTrader I'm missing some functionality:

- "Source" column in the log window, where a bot or indicator can specify a source string.

-  Ability to sort and/or filter the log window

- Ability to automatically save log window content as its getting new rows. The save format should be some post processable simple format, like CSV.

- Log window clearing from API.

- cAlgo is not picking up the compiled versions of the robots when I place JUST the .algo file to the given folder.

- API to instantiate and control robots (I can imagine this as a "cAlgo plugin".

- API to screen capture graph

- API to be able to put indicators into subwindows like in MT4

- API to invoke backtesting from external app, so we don't need to reinvent the wheel

- Enum parameter type for Indicators and Robots, a Dropdown box as a control should be suffice on the UI to represent it

- Boolean parameter type for Indicators and Robots

- More fine grained API to draw onto chart surface: Fonts for text, Color for text and other objects, Symbol from png or other files or at least from wingdings font.

 

So far that's what I missed :-)

Thanks,

Attila
