lol, nice one... I don't believe they are the same individual. I am referring to Robert "Hoi" from ButtonTrader Not "Hoi" the Bitcoin fanatic.
We are one and the same! And I'm fanatic about innovation...which you have noticed in ButtonTrader (invented by me in 1999, long before any other DOM). Any Innovation has my attention, especially when it touches IT and Commerce: when you comprehend the Bitcoin-protocol, you understand why I love it.
Anybody think this will lead to an eventual buyout of Multicharts by IBKR? If so, you know that IBKR will make this a subscription based service. I wonder if they will honor the Lifetime subs.
Opinion noted. People have been hounding IB about their charts for years. It may be a technology platform limitation that keeps them from developing it further, but I am not sure.
I heard that in Japan they had a very simple DOM, 5 years earlier. The first TT-version I saw was in 2002, a very simple one compared to what ButtonTrader was at that time {in 2000, we had a Tickchart on the left-side of the DOM, and complete 3-order strategies (Open-, and Bracketed-Target+Close orders) on the right-side, incorporated within the DOM}.
You got to do it for bitcoin. www.bitfinex.com would be a good exchange to look at. Growing rapidly, allows shorting.
Well, it's a lot of work.... After 10-years of coding 50-60 hours a week (ButtonTrader is more than 1.5 million rows of C++ code), I got a burn-out a few years back.... I try to take it more easily nowadays.
