Evgeny Nevolin:
I published a task for EA development, many offers came in, but I can't choose the right candidate, no information about them, no reviews either, they are all listed as developers under numbers, no names.

These are the rules of freelancing.

Have a chat with the developers. Most often by their answers it is easier to determine who is who.

P.S. Well and as an option you can agree with someone and place a personal order.
 

Hello. I am new here and a question has arisen.

Hypothetically. Is it possible to extend the terms of order fulfilment after agreement of TOR between the Customer and the Executor, if both of them agree on it?

Is there such a function?

Thank you for your answers.

 
I suggest that both parties agree to increase the term and budget of the work. But customers, taking advantage of this, unreasonably delay the inspection and impose improvements not provided for in the TOR.
 

Good day.

I plan to order the development of an indicator and an Expert Advisor.

They should work together, according to the corresponding handle of the indicator.

On each chart with an Expert Advisor, a graphical control and indication panel for the traded pair (buttons for trading on the market, placing orders, balance of positions and orders, etc.).

Plus a separate summary-statistical panel for all the copies of Expert Advisors running in the terminal.

Also, after debugging the Expert Advisor in a couple of months, we plan to do additional work to prepare a version of the Expert Advisor with a reduced number of settings - foolproof.

Question:

The work involves a phased implementation, with the acceptance of each of the elements of the system by the customer, testing and identification of bugs. And continuation of work only after satisfactory result of the current stage.

From the customer's side I bear risks - the competence of the contractor at a certain stage will be insufficient, and I will be left with an unfinished project. I will have to start with a new person and pay for the code rewritten anew.

What possibilities does the "Freelance" service have for streamlining the step-by-step execution and payment of work?

My interest is to find a person who will take up and bring the work to the end, and not jump in the middle, so ordering each element of the work separately - fraught.

Each stage is a separate job. That is -> Terms of Reference -> Writing code -> Acceptance of work -> Payment.

So, I'm not protected from someone who will write everything - then will jump off in the middle of the way, and look for a new one?

Yes. There's no such functionality.

You can stipulate this with the contractor, and carry out all the stages within one job, each time increasing the time and cost of the work.

For example, start with $200/5 days (the first stage). If everything is done in time and works, you increase the cost and terms to $400/10 days (add $200/5 days for the second stage), and so on - until you get the desired result.

At any time, if the developer disappears, you can write to arbitration and unfreeze all the money. You will only lose time and arbitration fee.
