Make the User Interface richer!
Hi, there are 2 things that can make the UI much more feature rich with minimum programming effort.
1. Use 3rd party Grid Views instead of standard Microsoft ones. For example you could use DevExpress Grid Control. It would give your customers lots of new features when working with grids like orders, executions etc. For example, just by replacing the standard DataGrid(DataGridView) with DevExpress Grid Control your customers would be able to group orders by Symbol, to filter on any column and to specify filter conditions. And all it takes is just few code line change, Well, and buying a license too )
If you do a little more, you can bring the thing called "Style Conditions". They would allow your customers to define and save rules for highlighting or coloring rows based on specific conditions.
For example, with minimum coding effort, it would allow me to make Sell rows red color, or records for symbol MSFT orange or make row red if it was a stop fill.
2. Use docking windows. IT would be nice if we could see open orders and open positions at the same time, but currently we can not drag one of the tabs out and make it a separate floating window. With docking you could keep by default everything as is but give us more freedom in organizing our workspace.
Cheers!
