The platform is intended to be useful for a wide range of crypto traders/investors - from amateur to experienced professionals. You gotta have some trading experience to get the best out of the platform, though, so not for the complete beginners.

Re: the platform development - major parts of it are, in fact, already operational:

- we began collecting, recording and analyzing crypto market data starting January. By now we have almost a dozen exchanges connected. So far we have not found a provider of crypto market data that gives us exactly what we need (and used to in traditional markets) - thus we have to rely on ourselves

- once we've collected a reasonable amount of market data, we've started to extract signals from it. Extracting and back-testing signals and strategies - that's the most difficult part, that's where a lion's share of effort and know-how lies, but you gotta understand that we do not have to build everything from scratch - we've been developing and perfecting the platform that does exactly that in traditional markets for over a decade. Now we have to adjust it somewhat to crypto markets - but that's just a fraction of the effort

- we are in the late innings of adjusting our execution platform to crypto as well

- what we do have to develop from scratch - is the front-end and UI, since our platform initially was built for internal use only. That takes some time, but is, frankly, the easiest part
