Leaning to keep. We don't delete articles that don't display evidence of notability, we delete articles for which no evidence can be found. It is easy to find significant coverage of this trading platform in the trade press, for example [1] [2] [3] plus a lot of other coverage on leaprate.com, which is a news publication for traders. That said, I have always objected to using trade publications for establishing notability. I started a discussion on this, which never really resolved anything, archived here (my username was Amatulić at the time). My arguments there still stand, in my opinion. But as long as we are using trade publications to establish notability, this article would be a keeper. I'll mention that, as a former trader myself, MultiCharts is one of the dominant trading platforms in the market. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete instead as the article is still not in fact satisfactory for actual substance and the sources listed above are in fact simply trivial tech blogs, ones I've never actually heard of so that says something, simply nothing amounting to a genuinely convincing article.

"That says something" how? Conversely, it's just as valid to say "I've heard of them, so that says something." Questions about the reliability of sources like Leaprate should be taken to WP:RSN. I don't see anything to suggest they are unreliable. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
