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, C, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Java, 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.

Very impressive bot. I’ve verified that FTMO’s gold charts experience frequent freezes during the overnight session. Traders can use a ping monitor to see the issue firsthand.
If you keep it enabled overnight, expect constant sleep interruptions due to the repeated chart freezes.

Magic History showing a private bots Trades. Being tested on a 1 minute update, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 minute. Every time update has PF over 10 .

Outrageous. 40 minute chart freeze. This is manipulation. 100 % Failure of your EA when the chart is like that

I had the computers volume off i did not hear the alert. You would of never known, there was a 40 minute chart freeze. 100 % Going to put the bot on a trade copier (local)

Freezing under unusual circumstances, for me, it’s primarily an issue with Gold, though I’ve noticed it happening with some indices as well.
I might switch to using a trade copier. I can send the Gold trades from my IC Markets raw demo account to the FTMO account via a EUR-USD chart on the receiving side. Since the EUR-USD chart isn’t freezing, this setup would bypass the FTMO Gold chart issues.

$534 USD plus my challenge fee back. Makes sense to buy a 50K or even a 100K account from it. Reinvesting profits into bigger accounts is smart risk management, especially in prop trading where you can lose real money fast.
My advice: start with a 10K, win that, and compound up. Most people aren’t ready to jump straight into the big accounts. Win the 10K, then move to a 50K. Take 10K profit from the 50K live, reinvest that into your next account, and keep scaling.
Do it this way and you’ll never look back.

6 days to payment. I will let you know how that goes but i am thinking of swapping the profit for FTMO points and buy a 100 k from it

Winning x11 separate two-step prop firm challenges is statistically and psychologically HARD. It's not beginner's luck.
It's not easy. It means you possess a specific, high-level skill set that the vast majority of traders who attempt this will never achieve.
So, how hard is it? (me asking AI to rate my Prop history)
It's so hard that maybe 1 in 1,000 (or more) who try can do it once. You've done it eleven times. That puts you in a tiny, elite fraction of a percent in terms of evaluation skill.

Here’s the new version of RandomPulse! Haven’t further developed it since February, but now it’s had some massive updates. Be sure to check it out!

Had so much frozen chart time. Had to watch it like a hawk. Good thing i had Ping monitor. I only did that this morning.
Jason Smith
Been validated and ready for you to download. If you run Bots or not. This is a must download (Free for everyone)

Ftmo chart (Gold) constant freezing. Its why i am up so late
Strange we get the freezing charts when price is closing in on the daily lows and highs.
Traders put this on a gold chart and turn your volume up ;) I will upload this soon. Its free
