I think you misunderstood and read too much into it. All I said was that we need to improve the trading interface (opinion) to move up in rank and attract more traders. The interface gets improved all the time so that's great!
Here is an example of a features rich Forex Trading platform:
I don't think I misunderstood or read into anything. You said there was a problem because you weren't seeing (by default) an asset you were interested in (DASH). But all you had to do was search for it and add it. And if you had the latest version, DASH would have been visible by default to begin with.
Moving on, thanks for posting that screenshot of a FOREX trading UI. We actually already have most of the necessary elements that are on that screen:
- They have their Market Depth. And that's equivalent to our Order Books and Market History.
- They have a Chart. We also have a Chart (although granted our charting could be improved further, with the primary need being more candlestick options, but also more indicators and drawing tools).
- They have their Watch List. We have our Markets list.
- They have their Order List. We have our Open Orders and My History.
- They have News. We don't need News but have a Trollbox instead.
- They have their Stock Ticket (which is a unified Order form). We have separate Buy and Sell Order forms.
- They have a list of Positions. This one we don't have, although I have advocated for it a few times (and OL may be adding it to their UI if they take some of my recent suggestions).
We also have something very handy that the UI above does not, which is the Market Depth Chart. In fact, we have that in both mini form (which can be visible if you have the Trollbox closed), and large view (which you can toggle in place of the Price Chart).
Anyway, it's easy for people to bash and point out deficiencies. And that's fine as long as the points are valid. Actual constructive criticism is healthy and necessary, so I hope we see more of that. But a lot of what we're seeing recently just isn't valid or accurate. And I will continue to point it out when I see it.
