Would a node-based workflow for automated trading be useful?

Hello everyone,
I知 currently exploring an idea for automated / quant trading.
The concept is a node-based workflow where users define:

market data → indicators/features → signal → risk rule → execution → monitoring

The framework would then handle the operational parts around it:
data preparation
backtesting
dry-runs / paper trading
execution logs
risk checks
live monitoring
I知 not asking anyone to share their strategy or alpha.

I知 mainly curious:
Is the bigger pain building the strategy logic, or operating/testing it properly?
Would a node-based workflow be useful, or would you prefer pure Python/code?
Which part would you want automated first: data prep, backtesting, dry-run, monitoring, or execution logs?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this!
