Quick guidance on how to start a project

[General Melchett]

Hi, I'm new and wondered if someone could give me guidance on where I can start? I am not expecting to be spoonfed but some help would be great!

I would like to build a utility to help a trader make quick, buy/sell limit trades on a chart.

The trader would input a price for the current pair. From that price, a buy or sell limit price would be calculated x pips from the price entered. The trader would then click a button to set the pending order with the calculated values from where he entered his initial price. Does this make sense?

So a use case would be:

• The panel has editable lots and TP values
• The trader selects whether the trade will be a buy or sell limit order
• Trader enters a price into utility/panel
• The utility calculates a new open price x pips from his entered price
• The utility calculates how far away TP should be set from the open price
• The trader clicks an execute order button and the utility sets a buy or sell limit order at the calculated price with the pre-set lot size and pre-set TP value

Basically I would like to enter a price into a box, have all values already calculated for me and then to press the execute order button all within about 10 seconds. Buy/Sell limit, TP and lot size could be preset hours before. The quick bit needs to be the price entry and order execution.

Anyone know whether such a utility already exists or where I can start?

@lknaweiapb We can work on it step by step. I guess you don't have an initial project to begin with, right?

I promise I'm not promoting this guy, but he's developed something like you're looking for; I think.

I don't really have anything clear I want to start with, aside from a vision of how I want the panel to look like when it sits on the chart!

@lknaweiapb Honestly the graphoc part of fxDreema is my weak point. Maybe doing some seacrh on the forums here would help.
