The Evolution of Trading Applications: Modern Web UX
As the financial industry continues to evolve and technology plays a major role in shaping its future, trading applications must also adapt to meet the demands of traders and investors. In the past, trading systems were typically built using Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) or Windows Forms (WinForms), which may have been sufficient for their time but are now severely outdated.
MFC often looks dated, and while it is possible to modernize an MFC interface, doing so is generally very costly. WinForms, also an outdated technology, does not allow for a modern, sleek design that is expected in modern trading applications. WinForms relies on GDI+ for rendering, which isn’t hardware-accelerated. This results in suboptimal visual quality and lack of visuals required for financial visualizations, such as a display of real-time analytics in charts and graphs.
Fast forward to the present day, and we see a new generation of trading applications emerging that run within a web browser, such as Chrome and Internet Explorer.
