A full rework of the entire code maybe needed, I agree and will take a huge amount of time and money from Nirvana, however, a relatively small investment in time and money to dress up the window, will likely bring in more customers and therefore produce more money to be available to invest into re-coding the entire platform. Nirvana hasn't changed OT's GUI in the 18 years I have been using it and was designed back in the NT/XP days, maybe pre NT. Windows itself has moved on and its GUI is now a modern looking OS, yet OT doesn't even conform to the Windows GUI standards, it creates its own in some places and not others, the result is that it is now inconsistent and broken (Focus List vs Chart window). A new modern GUI would allow for light and dark themes, smoother chart and indicator rendering etc. I fear that ED and his team are so focused on producing plugins and modules to sell to existing customers to bring in revenue, they are missing an opportunity to put OT in the spotlight by giving it a modern look and feel, which will attract many new customers to the platform. TradingView is super slick to use as a charting application. Put that level of slick user interface onto OmniTrader's immense capabilities, then it could be THE 'go to' trading and strategy development platform. Right now, many people have either used or at least heard of TradingView, even Refinitiv have replaced the chart engine in Eikon with charts powered by TradingView. Most people in this space have no idea who Nirvana are and have never heard of OmniTrader. Would be good to hear Nirvana's thoughts and plans if any, on this thread.
