A bespoke job is not judged by the final cost of the product, but by the amount of labour involved in its creation multiplied by the qualifications of the person creating it.


I see your point. I've never commissioned EA writing before, so I want to know what's what. :)

I don't think anyone will answer you like that. Write some test task, send it to programmers - see how much it will cost. Tasks may also be different - or specifically - "this indicator shows so much, and this shows so much", or maybe in another way - there is an icon on the chart and the inscription - "you need here".

Only in francs;-)

I've already read it, but it's not a confirmation of profitability of an EA, it's an MTS, i.e. after writing an EA it is put on a demo for a month and if it shows a profit the money is refunded.
Do you think a person that has demonstrated his mad success on the demo for a year and a half but hasn't done anything real yet, can make an MTS out of his TS in 9 days? I mean absolutely clear and unambiguous algorithms that he will lay out to the programmer. ...

In 9 days it is unlikely....... unless he has already written the terms of reference.

If the profitability of the Expert Advisor is confirmed, the money paid for the work will be returned. It turns out that a profitable Expert Advisor is free:)

That goes without saying. :) But how much will the programmer ask for his work?


Count for yourself how much the man needs to maintain his trousers, the programmer needs 3-5 times more to maintain brains. This is only for maintenance.


Can you define maintenance of trousers in a certain figure?

Alex, how much do you price your most labour-intensive EA?

It's hard for me to judge, I'm not a programmer :)

You can approach it from another angle. How much time did you spend on creating your system?

Hard to judge, probably about 3 years.

What exactly takes up most of your time?

On the formalisation of the task.


Yes, I agree - that's probably the hardest part.

Custom work is not priced by the final cost of the product, but by the amount of labor spent on its creation multiplied by the skill of the specialist who created it.


I understand what you mean. I've never commissioned EA writing before, that's why I want to know what's what. :)

I don't think anyone will answer you in such a way. Write some test task, send it to programmers - see how much it will cost. Tasks may also be different - or specifically - "this indicator shows so much, and this shows so much", or maybe in another way - there is an icon on the chart and the inscription - "you need here".

I've already talked with the programmer about writing an EA. He told me the figure and I want to know if it is OK or not. That's why I asked.

Why not in JPY? - promising currency :)

I have not written that I need the program in 9 days. This EA is not intended for championship, only for personal use. :)
