Cycle 13, day #3:
Not much to say... It appears that I have accomplish a lot today but the amount of required work is so colossal that it seems like I haven't gotten much closer to completion...
Perhaps that I am not taking the most direct path... but it seems important that I validate that new low-level margin trading code works fine before building more on top of it...
So, to achieve that, I want to be able to initiate some margin trading from my client. I tried enter few margin trades from the exchange website. Clearly, it is far from ideal... I would rather let my execute engine do the trading for me.
but to be able to do that, I had modify an existing dialog window in my client. I did add a Tab widget to it. I did place the original dialog widgets into the first tab and I created a second tab where I can specify the margin trade parameters. Doing that did request from me that I create a bunch of new specialized widgets.
It doesn't look like much but I did work the full day on that simple dialog box task. Granted GUI coding isn't my cup of tea but still, even simple tasks, especially when you need some R&D to figure out how things are going to work, it takes a lot of time...
This is clearly an act of passion to dedicate so much time to that endeavor...
