Welcome, fellow trader or Drupaler!
We'll be discussing how to use Drupal to run a trading site. It would be great if we had modules to track orders, display charts, calculate profit and loss, and gather statistics. A site like this could be used as a trading platform, to manage a fund and allocate shares among client accounts, to run a brokerage, or as a simple trade journal.

My current (flawed) setup
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.
