To me it makes so much sense and is not very hard.. The api integration shouldnt be too bad, the risk reward is massive and to me makes sense to go for it for bts team.. But i dont think they will understand like us ever since they domt have time to go use it for a few weeks to judge themselves.
To be fair it IS hard to do: You have to decode their proprietary protocol, create a bridge server into the bitshares wallet, have the core bitshares team add the missing order types and then somehow get metatrader the company to be ok with the idea.
edit: the rewards would be huge, though.
Its not trivial if i made it sound like that but its alot easier problem then the ones they have already solved in crypto. I think there are also examples of bridges already done that perhaps somehow can be shared or metatrader can shed light on. Its api work ontop of a few commands.. And since its a standardized api it makes sense to figure out and integrate into a real trading engine instead of guessing what type of trading the world wants.
Agree... We know what traders want and what they use, let's not try to reinvent the wheel.
What I don't get about this forum is how people say we should ask traders what they want and emulate that. We (me since I have been trading currencies for 9 years and trade with a large group of people, also I assume jsidhu is a trader) tell them exactly what they need to do to attract traders... Then the non traders here read it and say "nah that's to complicated. Let's make it like polo. That's what traders will want!".
It's like I'm talking to a wall... Why do u guys ask for opinions, when you have no intention of utilizing them? We are never going to reach total consensus on a interface, so just provide the tools to 3rd parties so they can create their own.
