Review of Protrader platform
This protrader platform devloped by a company name PFSOFT .
They sell full fledged solution to banks prime brokerages or retail brokerages ..back end and front end
If I understood correctly they have a protrader desktop , web and mobile app in the frontend .
So a brokerage buying their solution can get all 3 platform instead of devloping separately.
These guys also have platform called PTMC (Pro trader Multi connect ) based on their tech which they directly sell to retail ( mostly for western markets) the pricing is $50 per month ..this app demo probabily tells us how the app should behave and what are its capbilities
Coming back to the Composite edge Pro trader ...(you can take a demo by visting their website and click on protrader paper trading link)
The platform definitely will take some getting used to.
This app looks like made with C# dot net(not 100% sure ) ...so pretty mordern
The first think I notice in the corner there is a connection indicator along with real time latency indicator to the brokers server ....which is very nice
Also the futures lot are not in qtys but in lots meaning instaed of 75 it will be shown as 1 everywhere which I like ...some might hate it ...
Basically you can create any number of workspace and within workspace create any number windows and arrange whatever way like ...also do panel linking ..etc
All basic feature like chart , dom , watch list, market depth , time &sales and order, positions etc etc are their
The 2 new thing I saw is scalper and mtrix it is something to do with order flow stuff not sure I understand them fully
Also they have option chain ...but for some reason option chain is it own independent window ...not sure I understand that ....becuase of that option chain cannot be integrated with other charts and dom etc ...awkard to use hopefully they fix it..
There is a dedicated grid window ...where u can instatly create grid charts 3x3 or 4X4 ...etc..
coming back to charting they have support for everything
But only time based chart is working and profile is also working
Tick , Price range ,Renko ,Cluster ...etc etc ...basically anything based on tick data is not working
Which is hugely disappointing
I really hope compsite edge provide all chart type support else it is incomplete ...
they do support trade from charts also u can enable SL or TP or both and it will be placed along with your order
Also there is coding support ...you can code your own indicator and EA based on C#.net ..there is a full fetured IDE included ..
Also there is startegy manager where you can deply multiple algo and can manage them
Very good for somebody who is looking for algo solutions.
All in all ther is no doubt the platform is superb ...the question is how good is the integration ...
I feel there is more work needed ...the feature set is incomplete ..
if they do support tick charts then this platform will beat even TWS from IB as the best desktop platform in India
few things I forgot
RAM usage is around 400M for running extended period of time
The app is rock solid no stability issue.
they also support trailing stoploss orders ...these are not bo co order these are normal orders...the platform provides the intelegence to link them and trail them ...
