[QUOTE="Enivid, post: 200612, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.spotware.com/']Spotware Systems[/URL] is best known for its powerful trading platform cTrader. I have posted about their [URL='https://www.earnforex.com/guides/ctrader-for-forex-traders/']platform[/URL] and, as you can notice, I have a very positive impression from it, though I, personally, do not use it for my live trading yet. [B]Ilya Holeu[/B], Head of Sales and Marketing at Spotware, offered me an opportunity to interview him regarding the state of the FX platform industry and the future of cTrader. You can see my questions and their answers below: [I]What is your current view of the trading platform industry for the FX? Is there still an opportunity to offer some innovative product or is it nearing saturation?[/I] [I]How are you planning to convince more [URL='https://www.earnforex.com/forex-brokers/']brokers[/URL] to start offering your platform?[/I] [I]Execution speed becomes more and more important with the advent of the high-frequency trading. Is there some statistics of an average transaction speed via cTrader?[/I] [I]It looks like you are trying to implement some of the popular features directly into the platform rather than leaving them to custom indicators/robots. For example, the advanced stop-loss, time to next bar, scale, period separators, etc. Do you believe that a trading platform should have as many built-in capabilities as possible instead of relying on third-party solutions based on platform’s coding language?[/I] [I]Considering that, do you plan adding a lot of indicators not found in the competing platforms’ default sets or, perhaps, some really interesting and complex cBots? Or will you just limit these to exemplary pieces?[/I] [I]With increasing popularity of portfolio strategies, traders may need to combine dozens of expert advisors on one account. What is the maximum number of simultaneously running robots a cTrader client and server connection can handle?[/I] [I]Users’ needs vary. Some traders seek opportunities to run thousands of strategies simultaneously. Is it something that can be handled via cTrader?[/I] [I]What are your future plans for backtesting? Do you plan adding system optimization or ability to use custom history data?[/I] [I]Your HTML/Excel history reports looks clean, but offer no advanced metrics (Sharpe ratio, profit factor, etc.) Do you plan any progress here?[/I] [I]Considering success of MetaTrader’s jobs market, do you have any similar plans for creation of cTrader jobs marketplace?[/I] [I]I see, but how about a more integrated job marketplace where Spotware (or some other related company) acts as a mediator between a customer and a freelancer?[/I] [I]Spot trading is, no doubt, the king of the online Forex industry, but what would you say about adding a different kind of products to your platform — binary options, futures, equities? Is it possible? Is it planned? Is there demand from brokers?[/I] [I]My final question is rather speculative, but how can traders make sure that their broker does not use their trading platform’s backend to rig the rules against them? Such accusations are often voiced against some other platforms? How would you deal with them?[/I] If you liked this interview, disliked it, or if you simply have some comments regarding this interview with Spotware or any ideas for the future interviews, please post them blow.
