The application model needs to change.. Instead of one gui to do it all you would offer a gui for the cryptqo stuff like sending recieving, privacy, referrals and account management, which the current gui is great for.
Then youd offer the dex over the cli which it does but do a metatrader4 bridge to the api for dex trading. You simply point people over to the client download for the dex and the wallet gui for crypto stuff.
Forex traders would be all over it especially since they can do their own account management, deposit withdrawls without trusting a broker!
I was thinking the same thing... All we would need is to get a metatrader license and may have to do some basic programming to access the API with the metatrader platform. As far as deposits and withdrawals, I think we would have to point the trader to a deposit page on the openledger wallet.
I was thinking they dont need another broker, unless processing fiat, but once in crypto they can do their own account management in the bts crypto wallet. Whatever their crypto wallet balance is, would show up in metatrader4.
I have contacted metatrader in regards to setting up and licensing the terminal for bitshares. I know a license can cost upwards of 100k, but there are companies offering to sell their licenses so there may be a cheaper option.
What I envision:
-website that hosts the metatrader introduction and download page. Also has a link (with referral code) to create a bts wallet.
-newly created wallet links to downloaded metatrader platform
-password and credentials created for accessing account in metatrader
-user sends funds(crypto) to bts wallet and metatrader reflects those funds
-user trades markets in metatrader through bitshares API. Metatrader get price data from bitshares API.
-users can cash out or access their funds by going to the original website and logging into the wallet through there.
Does this sound possible with the current API offered by graphene? I am considering setting this up, but I think it would be an incredible tool for metaexchange or bitshares blocks.
