I don't think I will ever accomplish my goal and my current working prototype in excel VBA, will probably end up being a white elephant.
I have ideas, have paid before for my program as private, humans retire, therefore when the programmer retired, no support. Long story short, as the IT stuff evolves, it seems to takes the generation of IT'ers with it, but the users who only "drive the application/s", being their idea or not, are left behind.
I cannot do what my programmer made according my specifications, so I made it "rat-rod" prototype to illustrate the idea.
The idea used a firebird relational database with a script editor and some .exe custome program/interface.
All I, or the clients needed to do is learn how to write the scripts to manipulate the same info as one chooses. ( why write 100 program for 100 custoemr all using the same data source ?, instead write one main data sourcer with database, and the 100 customers can learn to write the script.
All in all, stand-alone, meaning download from the programers server, install and way ya go.
Subscribe yearly to help with costs, but make it fair, not "carrot on the stick" deals.
There are services similar, but cloud based and done on their terms, no stand-alone. So then they get to see the customers scripts, their strategy, or "the edge"....nup, stand-alone the only way to go.
The FB Server would gather the required info from the sourse/web then database it all in real time, and what one does with the info, it's up to their scripting.
We learn to script, only, in relation to the database.
Question is, what is the source of that info ?
Sports and the markets
