MQL5 Experts Forex Trading robot/indicator debugging Strategy optimization Statistics and mathematics Strategy modules

Job finished

Execution time 7 days

Specification

We are looking for an experienced MQL5 developer who also has real trading experience to build our existing trading strategy into a fully automated MT5 Expert Advisor (EA).

We already have our entry and exit trading rules documented. We are not looking for someone to invent a strategy for us. We need someone who understands trading well enough to understand our rules, discuss them with us in normal trading terms, and then correctly turn them into MQL5 code.

Our strategy includes:

  1. LONG and SHORT entry rules
  2. Candlestick/bar analysis
  3. Higher-high and lower-low conditions
  4. Support and resistance breakout rules
  5. Momentum/bar-range conditions
  6. 24 SMA and 72 SMA rules
  7. Initial stop-loss rules
  8. Partial trade exits
  9. Moving-average exit conditions
  10. Money-management exit rules

We want to start by building one strategy correctly, backtest it in MT5, and make sure the EA is taking the trades according to our rules before we add anything else.

What we need from the developer:

  1. Strong MQL5 / MT5 EA development experience
  2. Actual trading knowledge and experience
  3. Ability to understand our trading rules and explain back to us how they will work in the EA
  4. Build automated LONG and SHORT entries and exits from our rules
  5. MT5 Strategy Tester/backtesting support
  6. Adjustable settings where appropriate
  7. Full .mq5 source code and compiled EA on completion
  8. Ability to help test and correct the EA if its trades do not match our strategy

Important: Trading experience is essential for this job. Once we shortlist a developer, we will provide our full Entry and Exit Rules PDF and discuss the strategy with them before development starts.

If you cannot understand and explain the trading process from our rules, this job will not be suitable.

When applying, please tell us:

  1. Your MQL5/MT5 development experience
  2. Your actual trading experience
  3. What markets you have experience trading
  4. Examples of similar trading EAs you have built
  5. Your estimated cost and timeframe

We are looking for someone we can work with longer term if the first strategy is built and tested successfully.
