currency

Hundreds of communities trading with complementary currencies need this!

Two years ago, working with the UK Coordinator for LETS I prototyped an architecture to support these communities with all their variants. Right now I have time to port it to Drupal which is the obvious platform. Progress is slow because I'm learning on the job, so this project needs mentoring.

Moved to official ideas list

The 'mint of the realm' is not the only store of wealth or medium of exchange. Community currencies facilitate trading all over the world.
Such currencies

• are resilient against recesssion and collapse

• do not favour the rich by charging interest
• belong to communities, not to banks
• prefer local goods and services over the globalised economy
• are used for economic regeneration and international development

Hello,

I've created this new Trading group. My goals are similar to those of the Stock group, so I'm posting this to you guys as well.

I'm a trader/programmer who has set up a private site meant to eventually manage a little fund for my friends and family. My current setup allows me to input and browse trades I make, so that I'll later be able to track my progress. Here's what I'm currently using (I have done no custom programming yet):

taxonomy: I currently have "market" and "system" categories. These are heirarchical, so I could have a market called "GBPUSD" with parent "Forex". A system could be a particular setup or signal within a larger system, for example "spinning top" within "chart patterns". I'll be using these taxonomies to browse my trades and judge which trading systems work with which markets, etc. I want to eventually be able to do all kinds of statistical analysis based on these categories.
