Expert Optimization Specialist: MT4 Walk-Forward Analysis & Robustness Testing

Specification

Description:

I am looking for a professional MQL4 developer/quant trader with a proven track record in EA optimization. This project involves optimizing a third-party EA that currently has a 2-year live track record.

The Task:

  1. In-Sample Optimization: Optimize the EA parameters using historical data prior to January 1, 2024.
  2. Out-of-Sample (Walk-Forward): Validate the optimized settings against the period of January 2024 to Present. The goal is to see if the optimized parameters correlate with the EA's actual live performance during this period.
  3. Robustness Report: Provide an analysis of why these parameters were chosen (e.g., parameter clusters, 3D surface stability, or genetic algorithm results).

Requirements for Applicants:

To be considered, you must provide:

  • A Case Study: Show at least one EA you have optimized in the past.
  • The Process: Briefly explain your workflow for avoiding curve-fitting (e.g., how you select your optimization windows or use Walk-Forward Matrices).
  • Tools: Mention if you use MT4 Strategy Tester alone or third-party tools (like Walk Forward Optimizer or QuantAnalyzer).

Budget: $60 (Base) — I am open to negotiating a higher fee based on the depth of the deliverable and the quality of the robustness report.

Recently I have backtested more than 100 EAs and I have come to a conclusion that in the long-term all of them produce catastrophic results. I used 99.9% data quality and whenever possible decades of data. In the short-term almost all of them can have nice gains. But there is hardly any EA that could survive even just 3-5 years, let alone decades ! This got me thinking: if almost all EAs are unfit for long-term
