Trading is mostly psychological. Why not create tools to counter-act emotions?

[Fixe1982]

I think every trader will agree. I think it is about time someone actually becomes the first one to create the tools to satisfy a market that is almost 100% of us. All five emotions in trading (fear, greed, anger, confidence and discipline) can and need to be worked on in order to achieve success. It is very hard to let go of certain bad, entrenched habits that limit potential. What if there was a platform that could help with the small programmable things? That would help a trader achieve consistency sooner and actually change lives.

For me personally, the biggest problem is closing trades manually out of fear (negative projection of the future). I know that my potential would be unleashed if I just would not interfere with my positions out of stress. What if I had an option, at my responsability, that would make my stop loss final and I couldn´t move it? Same goes for the target. Maybe lock a specific stock or future until a bracket order is closed? A big portion of the stress would be gone and probabilities would just play out without my biggest enemy steppin in, myself.

There are countless ways to help achieve consistency with small little things that can be programmed, tailored to specific, common problems.

I see a big future in this and very marketable. Once out there, spreads like wildfire.

Hello Fixe1982,

If you were to create an addon and trade only through the addon, you could write logic to lock buttons, or prevent new order submissions, prevent order price modifications, etc.

Below is a link to an example of placing orders by clicking buttons added by an indicator or strategy.

As well as a link to a reference sample indicator that demonstrates different wpf modifications you can do to a chart.

Thanks

Hello Fixe1982,

Such an addon could be created.

Coding C# is pre-requisite to writing NinjaScript code. The Strategy Builder can be used to see how it generates C# syntax is a good way to start learning. The link I provided with starting resources provides direction.

Thank you very much Thomas, I will look into this.

Testing the platform as we speak. There is something I would like to ask since it´s important for me. Is there anyway to have the predefined ATM strategy bracket orders visible after placing a limit order from the chart? They only become visible after the order is filled. Anyway to fix that? Dragging to precise levels is a must.

thanks!
