For quite some time, our clients have asked us about a Frontend for our trading software AlgoTrader. In an effort to meet that request, we are working on the development of a modern Frontend based on HTML 5. We always want to ensure we provide our clients with the very latest technology possible, so, we are pleased to give you a quick preview of what we are working on.

The new Frontend gives you a very compact and well-structured overview of your trading strategies in real-time.
Our new Frontend will contain several widgets that can help you make the most of your trading, including:
- Live Market Data and Performance, updated in real-time.
- Tables showing current Orders, Market Data Subscriptions, Positions, and Transactions, so all the information you need is visible on one screen and allows you to make quick decisions.
- All tables will provide (multicolumn) sorting, grouping, filtering, column selection, and scrolling and will allow you to export to CSV so you can further analyze your data.
- Highly interactive Order Placement Form with full-text search for instruments and configurable order presets, so any type of order can be placed quickly with a minimal number of clicks.
- Configurable Tiles located at the top of the screen showing general figures (like NetLiqValue, Unrealized P&L, Cash, etc.) to give you a summary of the financial state of the system.
- Selectable View (either an aggregated view over the entire system or a strategy-specific view) so you can focus on the items you are most interested in without becoming distracted by others.
- Global menu/actions for account management, hedging, settings, etc. give you access to general functions of the system that are less frequently used.
- All items are automatically updated in real-time based on live market data, so there is no waiting or need to manually refresh.
- Display of Alarms and Notifications in case something unexpected happens so you can take immediate action, if necessary.
- Configurable layout (placement and sizing of widgets/tables on the screen) so you can rearrange everything to your own personal preferences.
- Since the new Frontend is based on HTML 5, it can easily be integrated into corporate IT infrastructures using firewalls, VPNs, and remote locations.
Our new Frontend is based on the following technologies/architectures.
- HTML 5
- React
- Bootstrap
- TradingView Chart component
- STOMP over WebSockets
- RESTful web services
We are very interested in your feedback and would love to hear what you think:
- How do you like our new frontend?
- Are there any features that you think are missing?
- Is there something we should change in the layout or style?
