Trading is not easy. I have haven no solid background trading (forex, stocks, and equity) and its related terms and gimmicks (quotes, indicators, signals account activity) in order to trade effectively.
Trading is complex, and it's even more complex building a software for it.
I'm learning while building this software.
This should be fun, interesting and frustrating all at the same time!
program should be able to do the following:
-
Stream real-time QUOTES: get realtime stock price information
-
place ENTER & EXIT POSITIONS(Buy & Sell): Buy and sell instrument, may create a new order
-
Manage account data (ORDERS, POSITIONS & ACTIVITY): prevent entering same positions and manage decision making. Account data is critical
-
Calculate different TECHNICAL INDICATORS: Determines enter & exit positions, knows market conditions using technical patterns. Set up mechanism for calculating indicators
Following OOP methodology:
-
