I’ve been getting more into building my own trading tools to improve my workflow, and I’m curious to hear from people who’ve gone down a similar path.

I primarily trade options, and one of my biggest struggles has been staying organized while managing multiple trade ideas, setups, and market conditions throughout the day.

I’ve experimented with building some personal tools, but I’m realizing there’s a pretty big difference between having an idea and building something that’s actually reliable and useful during live trading.

• What did you build, and what problem were you trying to solve?
• What were the biggest challenges you ran into?
• Did you build everything from scratch or integrate existing tools/APIs?
• What would you do differently if you were starting over?
• Are you still using what you built?

Not looking for anyone to build anything for me. Just trying to learn from people who’ve already been through the process.
