INVESTA - Trading Platform

After years of suffering with the official MQL5 trading platform, I decided to create a new one that extends MQL5's basic functionality with subscription-based trading strategies (robots) and a PayPal payment gateway.

INVESTA gives users access to pick and choose strategies suitable for their trading goals, and allows Strategy Providers to host their robots, and make them available to all users.

It is a full-fledge Django-powered platform with a PostgreSQL database, fronted by NGINX, supported by Celery, and hosted on Ubuntu in the cloud.
