The best algorithmic developers aren't just programmers - they're traders who code.
I develop and code custom trading strategies, automation tools and custom software across multiple platforms and languages, including TradingView (Pine Script), MetaTrader 5 (MQL5), Python and other modern development frameworks.
Looking for a quantitative developer role.
I can turn trading strategies into fully functional systems.
Extensive experience with Linux (Gentoo, Debian) and Unix systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD)
I’m available for projects.You can ask for me directly on Freelancer
How Observation Changes Outcomes :
In quantum mechanics, when light (or electrons) passes through two slits, it creates an interference pattern on the screen behind them.
Each particle seems to go through both slits at once, existing in a superposition of all possible paths and the resulting pattern reflects the probabilities of where the particle could land.
If you try to measure which slit the particle goes through, the interference pattern disappears.
Observing the particle forces it into a definite state - it goes through one slit or the other.
The act of measurement collapses the wave function and fundamentally changes the outcome.
Before you check a trade, it’s in superposition.
From a statistical perspective, your trade has a probability of winning or losing based on your system but you don’t yet know the outcome.
The trade is evolving naturally, just like a quantum system.
The moment you look at it, your observation collapses the “trade wave function” into a definite state - good or bad, winning or losing.
That observation triggers an emotional reaction — stress, fear, or overconfidence—which can cause you to break your plan, over-leverage, or revenge trade.
Just like in quantum mechanics, the act of measurement affects the system.
If you hadn’t looked, the system would have continued evolving naturally and you would have followed your plan without emotional interference.
This analogy mirrors the quantum concept perfectly - observation changes the outcome, not because the market changed, but because your interaction with it changed your behavior.
In other words, checking too often destroys the natural probabilistic outcome of your system, just like measuring the slit destroys the interference pattern.
The trade itself hasn’t changed; your observation changed how you interact with it, which changes the outcome.
Final Thoughts:
Traders, you know what I’m talking about — in a demo, you can leave your strategy untouched for days, weeks, even months.
The moment it goes live, you start checking too often, micromanaging your trades, and suddenly your observation is affecting the outcome.

Trend Following (Gold) Note the high PF
Jason Smith
2026.01.12
Gold is trading near record highs and has been breaking above prior highs recently, pushing well above previous levels. Markets have been reporting gold moving toward fresh highs above $4,600 per ounce as safe-haven demand rises amid economic and geopolitical concerns.

Thought of the day:
Empiricism: Knowledge comes from experience and observation.
A priori: Knowledge comes from reason and logic, independent of experience
Imagine a child kept artificially alive from birth, but without any senses — no sight, no hearing, no touch, taste, or smell. For years, this person grows, completely cut off from the world.
Then, at maturity, the five senses are suddenly given. The question is striking: would this person have a single thought in their head? It asks whether all knowledge comes from experience, whether the mind could hold any innate ideas independent of that experience, and how much of thought depends on the senses versus reasoning alone.
It’s a simple yet profound way to reflect on how we become who we are — shaped through experience, perception, and the constant interaction between mind and world.
An empiricist would say the child has no thoughts at first, because all knowledge comes from experience — the mind is a blank slate until the senses provide input.
An a priori thinker like Immanuel Kant would argue that while the child gains knowledge through experience, certain structures of understanding or concepts are innate, so the mind isn’t completely empty

A priori knowledge refers to ideas, concepts, or structures that exist independently of experience.
In this context, it means that even before the child has sensory input, the mind isn’t a blank slate; it already has the basic framework or capacity for thought

These trades are technically part of the main strategy—almost like an offshoot.
However, they represent a recurring probability with a very high profit factor.
Imagine getting 20 + winning trades on Gold every night before the UK session opens—what would you do with that kind of consistent edge?

Gold Overnight Trades – Scalable & Leveraged:
Even starting with just 1 micro lot, these trades offer massive scaling potential, and with judicious use of leverage, small positions can turn into significant overnight gains. These aren’t just random trades—they’re a recurring, high-probability, capable of producing consistent wins before the UK session opens.
The compounding potential is enormous.

CoD 6. Prestige Master, Rank 137
Jason Smith
2026.01.06
Yes — that’s a very high rank in Call of Duty 6 (Modern Warfare 2).
Here’s why:
Prestige Master means the player has completed all 10 Prestiges (or however many the game allows) and reached the top level, then resets their rank each time to start the next Prestige.
Rank 137 indicates they kept leveling past Prestige 10 (or the max Prestige) with additional levels — so it’s well beyond the normal top rank.
Players at this level have extensive experience, unlocked almost all weapons and perks, and dedicated a lot of time to the game.
In short, yes — this is definitely a high-ranking, elite-level player in CoD 6.

Tell me this isn’t a textbook mean-reversion day — look at the open-to-high and open-to-low range.

At a 1 mini position size, these profit and loss figures would be tenfold. At times, the floating loss could have reached around 1,700 dollars, while still delivering a net profit of approximately 17,000 over seven weeks.

Impressive discipline in letting the system run fully automated for 6–7 weeks, especially on XAUUSD. Mean reversion can be very effective when risk is controlled, and using micro lots with capped positions shows a responsible approach. The floating drawdown vs net profit is the key metric to watch as market conditions change. Looking forward to seeing longer-term stats and how the strategy handles strong trending phases.

Vivek, Take a look at Monday’s D1 candle — a massive trend. It really hit the mean-reversion strategies hard.Yet by the end of the week, this bot still closed with a net profit of $45 and an unrealized profit of $27. Very impressive. I’m also looking forwards to see how it performs this week, which is week 7.

AUD/JPY is at an all-time high. It may correct from here, so keep an eye on potential short opportunities.
Jason Smith
2026.01.02
A simple moving average crossover on the m5 can give better precision when trying to catch extreme highs or lows. It helps avoid getting caught by further highs or lows — when the MA crosses, you at least have some confluence. (M5) MA crossover doesn’t catch the extreme itself, but it helps confirm a shift in momentum, reducing the risk of entering too early.
Jason Smith

At times, the yen’s weakness against major base currencies like the USD, EUR, and GBP isn’t just market-driven. Japan and South Korea have intentionally intervened to keep the yen weaker, supporting their export-driven economies. A weaker yen makes Japanese goods cheaper abroad, boosting exports and increasing revenue when foreign earnings are converted back into yen. This provides a clear competitive advantage for exporters while supporting domestic economic growth. These interventions can be covert. Central banks may sell yen and buy foreign currencies gradually or through intermediaries, sometimes using hints or public statements to influence the market without drawing attention. Coordinated actions between Japan and South Korea help ensure the yen stays weaker across multiple major currencies, shaping long-term trends that benefit exporters.

These systems dominate trading because they are consistent and unemotional. They don’t hesitate, second-guess, or trade in anger. Once conditions are met, they execute exactly as designed every time. That consistency, combined with speed and scale, is why algorithmic trading now accounts for roughly 60–70% of total market volume in many major markets.
