Changed compact to finite-rank.
Oct 14, 2015 at 21:31 comment added Philip Brooker Regarding the addition of condition 3., the closure of the finite rank operators is not the compact operators for all Banach spaces; a uniform limit of finite rank operators is usually called an approximable operator.

Further refinements
Oct 14, 2015 at 20:05 comment added Philip Brooker An operator ideal is usually assumed in the literature to be non-trivial in the sense that it contains all the (continuous) finite rank operators (it is probably enough to have a single rank 1 operator and then obtain all finite rank operators using the other axioms). But you also want the second condition of your definition to be $\mathfrak{L} (\mathfrak{W} ,\mathfrak{X}) \mathfrak{I} (\mathfrak{X} ,\mathfrak{Y}) \mathfrak{L}(\mathfrak{Y},\mathfrak{Z}) \subseteq \mathfrak{I} (\mathfrak{W} ,\mathfrak{Z}) $.

Added an edited version of the question.
Oct 14, 2015 at 19:18 comment added Chris Ramsey @ChrisHeunen Yes, it seems you are correct!
Oct 14, 2015 at 18:41 comment added Chris Heunen Can't you just take $\mathfrak{I}(\mathfrak{X},\mathfrak{X})=J$ and $\mathfrak{I}(\mathfrak{Y},\mathfrak{Z})=\emptyset$ for all $\mathfrak{Y},\mathfrak{Z} \neq \mathfrak{X}$?

Fixed mistake from fixing mistake
Oct 14, 2015 at 18:08 comment added Chris Ramsey Yes, it seems you are correct. I was going on my memory of a talk I went to yesterday. I am certainly no expert on these topics.

Fixed mistake
Oct 14, 2015 at 18:00 comment added Bill Johnson Shouldn't the middle term in (2) be the set of bounded linear operators between the spaces?
