I'm Faisal, a software engineer and one of the people behind Obelion Terminal.
I've spent much of my career building software, but I've always been particularly interested in products where the user experience and the details really matter.
That interest eventually led me into building Obelion.
When I first started working on Obelion Terminal, I wasn't thinking about which technologies to use or how many features we could squeeze into a trading platform.
I was thinking about the experience.
I'd look at existing charting platforms and notice little things that could be better. Things that might seem insignificant individually, but become frustrating when you're using a platform every single day.
For example, why should someone have to constantly work around UTC when their natural working timezone is different? Why should adding an indicator across multiple charts feel like repetitive work? Why should mobile chart interactions feel like an afterthought?
