Specification
Project Brief: Multi-Asset EA/Indicator Optimization, Debugging, and Futures Strategy Refinement
1. Project Overview & Objective
I am looking for an experienced algorithmic developer to inspect, debug, optimize, and enhance an existing automated trading system. The system combines custom indicators and execution logic across Forex and Futures markets.
The primary goals of this project are:
Debug existing logic errors, execution delays, and parameter bugs.
Refine the trading strategy to improve risk-adjusted returns across specific assets.
Ensure seamless integration for both Forex (MT4/MT5 or Pine Script/Python) and Futures data structures (contract expiration, volume profile, tick sizing).
2. Core Requirements & Scope of Work
Phase A: Code Audit & Bug Fixing (Debugging)
Execution Audit: Identify and fix order execution issues (slippage handlings, order rejections, re-quotes, and improper order routing).
Indicator Sync: Resolve visual vs. programmatic repainting/lagging discrepancies between the chart indicators and execution logic.
Error Logging: Implement robust error handling (logging error codes for broker/exchange connection drops, invalid price fills, and margin calls).
Phase B: Futures & Forex Asset Optimization
Futures Specifications Handling: Implement logic to handle futures-specific parameters (symbol suffixes, contract rollover handling, minimum tick values, and tick sizes vs. forex points/pip calculations).
Session & Spread Filters: Add customizable trading session time blocks (e.g., NY open, London session) and max spread/slippage thresholds to reject trades during illiquid market conditions.
Phase C: Strategy Optimization & Backtesting
Parameter Range Testing: Run multi-variable optimization (e.g., dynamic Stop-Loss/Take-Profit, indicator period lengths, trailing stop distance) using robust historical data.
Overfitting Prevention: Perform out-of-sample backtesting and forward-walk validation to avoid curve fitting.
Risk Management Overhaul: Ensure position sizing logic works dynamically based on account balance %, fixed lot size, or volatility (ATR).
3. Required Developer Expertise
Applicants must demonstrate proven experience in:
MQL4 / MQL5 / Pine Script / C# / Python (Specify your platform here, e.g., MetaTrader 5 or TradingView + Webhook to Futures Broker).
Forex & Futures Market Structure: Understanding contract specs, pip vs. tick values, leverage, margin rules, and session timings.
Optimization & Quantitative Testing: Experience in Strategy Tester modeling, Monte Carlo analysis, or walk-forward optimization.
Clean code formatting with detailed inline commenting.
4. Deliverables Expected
Fully Debugged Source Code (.mq5 / .mq4 / .pine / .py) with clear comments.
Compiled Executable File (.ex5 / .ex4) ready for live/demo deployment.
Optimization Report: A brief document/summary outlining the best parameter sets derived from backtesting, including drawdown vs. profit expectations.
User Guide / Input Descriptions: Clear labels for all input parameters in the strategy settings window.
5. Application Guidelines (For Applicants)
To ensure your proposal is considered, please include the following in your bid:
Complexity Assessment: Based on the requirements above, rate the technical complexity of this task (Low / Medium / High) and explain why.
Estimated Timeline: Provide an estimated execution breakdown (e.g., Debugging: X days, Optimization: Y days).
Fixed Quote: Submit a flat fee or hourly estimate for the entire scope of work.
Proof of Experience: Share 1-2 examples of similar Forex/Futures EAs or indicators you have built or debugged.
