What tools or utilities do you use while trading. I have several IB related software I wrote (spreaders, order blasters, marketmakers, options vol plots, ...) thinking about releasing.

As endusers, whats important? guis? docs? code? ..

The tool that I use the most when I am trading is my office door.

Seriously.

Any trade my systems take & I don't feel comfortable with, I walk out & close that door. I should be am thinking about dedicating a (small) room to my trading PC

I always write my own stuff. Whats important to me is working examples of an API. Working usage examples. Cookbook type stuff. Not rtfm.

But I am targeting end users with no programming skills; application end users...mass audience.

is your spreader boilerplate? if it's passive, leaning, can work multiple legs, and can spread multiple instruments (ratioed against an average, etc), then it might be useful.

most are paranoid about others software (as you yourself were apparently). i'd worry about proper error checking, user input prevents, and things going haywire.
