Developing a Desktop Algorithmic Trading Tool
The customer needed a complex algorithmic trading tool to be written in C++ for executing trades through the Interactive Brokers Gateway API. The tool should perform proprietary mathematical and if-then-else logic functions that are managed through a graphic user interface.
Client
The client is a privately-funded proprietary trading firm managing the supply and distribution chains of several products that are offered for sale to market vendors in North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific.
The Challenge
The customer needed a complex algorithmic trading tool to be written in C++ for executing trades through the Interactive Brokers Gateway API. The tool should perform proprietary mathematical and if-then-else logic functions that are managed through a graphic user interface.

First Line provided full-cycle implementation and QA, based on the TDD (Test Driven Development) approach and using XP (eXtreme Programming) practices.
