Ideas for a new Web/Mobile Application

[keki]

Hello FX Community,

I'm a software developer and I am thinking about creating a new web/mobile application. I was hoping to get some ideas/feedback/suggestions/input etc. So basically the motivation for this app came after reading the Turtle Traders fable - I started to search the web for applications that implement this (and other?) strategy. From what I found there are not many out there - at least free ones anyway! So I'm considering creating one myself. The basic app would contain roughly the last 3 years worth of (daily) market data (of which I have already sourced), then the strategy would be applied which would hopefully show what the current buy/sell/hold indicators are.

The Turtle Traders strategy is the one that I am thinking of implementing first but would like to gauge the community on any other strategies or ideas for making this a more useful app, one that could help the people in the community interact or help each other to become better traders.

So if anybody has any ideas of what they would like to see, please do provide some input - even if it is to tell me that I'm wasting my time!

Thanks in advance,

Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

I wouldn't presume to tell you that you're wasting your time, but personally I don't see the point of the sort of application you describe.

I'm a software developer and a trader. Have you tried trading the "Turtle Traders strategy" yourself? Have you tried trading any other sort of strategy? If so did you rely on "signals" provided by a 3rd party?

Cheers,

Jim
