Expert advisor for back testing

Title: Development of MT4/MT5 Expert Advisor for NASDAQ Hedging Strategy with Optimization & Backtesting

Description:
I am seeking an experienced MetaTrader 4/5 (MT4/MT5) developer to build a fully automated Expert Advisor (EA) based on a specific NASDAQ hedging strategy. The EA will run on two separate accounts simultaneously with randomized hedging logic. All timing references are in New York Time (UTC-5).

Trading Strategy Overview:

• Instrument: NASDAQ (may have different symbols depending on broker).

• Trading Days: Monday through Friday (5 days a week).

• Time Reference: Strategy is based on the 1-minute candle close at 9:29 AM NY time.

Entry Rules & Order Logic:

1. As soon as the 9:29 AM 1-minute candle closes, the EA should:

   • Measure a 25-point move up and down from the candle close.

   • Immediately place Buy Stop and Sell Stop pending orders on both accounts.

2. Randomized hedging logic:

   • Ensure neither account ever enters in the same direction.

   • Randomly determine which account will buy and which will sell for each trade.

3. Once one side of the 25-point move is triggered:

   • All other pending orders must be immediately deleted.

   • Only one trade per account per day is active.

Risk Management:

• Stop Loss: 15 points from the original 25-point move entry.

• Take Profit: 70 points from the original 25-point move entry.

• Risk per trade: 1% of account equity (e.g., on a $100,000 account, risk = $1,000 per trade).

Additional Features & Requirements:

• Must be fully automated and capable of running daily without manual intervention.

• Compatible with MT4 and MT5.

• Backtesting functionality: EA should calculate:

  • Probabilities of winning and losing trades

  • Longest winning streak

  • Longest losing streak

• Must allow optimization of strategy parameters to improve performance.

• Developer should troubleshoot and refine the EA until it is performing at maximum capacity.

• Proper order management to prevent overlapping trades or duplicate entries.

• Code should be well-documented, modular, and easy to adjust (e.g., points, stop loss, take profit).

• Include logging for entries, exits, order deletions, and risk calculations for debugging purposes.

• EA should automatically calculate lot sizes based on the 1% risk per trade rule for the account size.

Deliverables:

• Fully functional MT4/MT5 EA according to the specifications above.

• Source code with comments and documentation.

• Installation and setup instructions.

• Guidance on optimization and backtesting settings.

Skills Required:

• Strong experience in MT4/MT5 (MQL4/MQL5) programming

• Experience with hedging strategies across multiple accounts

• Knowledge of automated trading logic, order management, and randomized entries

• Ability to optimize, backtest, and troubleshoot complex trading strategies

• Understanding of risk-based lot sizing and trade management
