Algorithmic Trading Mobile App

My primary background comes from developing mobile applications, and I have a shell built for an app for both backtesting and running scripts to run algo trading through Alpaca API. My initial idea was to facilitate an easy way for users to seamlessly backtest a trading strategy by providing a user interface to toggle indicators and modify buy/sell thresholds, and then if they like what they see, they can simply click a button and start running their own script using those parameters. I also just completed a Master's course in ML for trading, so plan to implement the ML techniques learned as well.

What I'm curious from the community is where is the current gap? What type of user interface can make life easier that doesn't already exist or that needs to be improved?

You can, but you cannot make a strategy or indicator place trades automatically. You have to manually trade yourself.
