external GUI for simple buy and hold algorithm

Hello guys,

Can you please help/advise..

I want to integrate simple algorithm (buy and hold for stocks) with Interactive Brokers together with some external GUI that will proceed some actions with buttons such as:

  • pause algorithm
  • resume algorithm
  • reduce budgets allocation for the algorithm,  for example: reduce budget by half (-50%) for specific period of time

I want to do the it manually while the algorithm is always running..

How do / which tool/skills do I need to learn/hire in order to implement this simple GUI task? MQL4?

thanks!
