Challenge, approach, and impact

• Allow traders with no programming skills to build indicators and use trading algorithms on an external trading platform

  To enable traders with no programming skills to build indicators and deploy trading algorithms on external platforms, we implemented a user-friendly interface within Trading Algorithms. Through an intuitive drag-and-drop visual programming system, users can seamlessly design their strategies by selecting and connecting pre-built blocks that represent various trading concepts.

  We simplified the indicator creation process by offering a range of customizable templates and predefined modules, allowing users to adjust parameters without delving into code. This approach not only accelerates the strategy development process but also empowers traders to customize their indicators to suit their specific preferences and market conditions.

• Conversion of visual blocks represented in the Blockly library into machine-readable C# code

  To tackle the challenge of converting visual blocks from the Blockly library into machine-readable C# code and facilitating DLL file generation, we implemented a parsing algorithm that mapped visual blocks to C# code snippets. A dynamic code generation engine assembled these snippets into a coherent script. We optimized and validated the code, integrated a compilation pipeline for DLL generation, and ensured version control and dependency management. Real-time user interface feedback allowed traders to preview and debug the generated code, resulting in a streamlined process for translating visual strategies into executable DLL files.
