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 in the Freelance section.


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 super position 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 super position.
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

The Anchor Bot uses daily price movement signals with built-in risk management, ATR-based stop loss and take profit, and flexible trade settings to adapt to different market conditions.
Don’t be put off by the number of settings — once you become familiar with the EA, it is very easy to use and offers plenty of control to suit different trading styles.

Be under no illusion - this is a professional tool, but a beginner can still use it effectively with my guidance and support.

Another bot has now been completed and is ready for sale, although it has not been officially published yet.
The Anchor Bot is currently running across all 28 forex pairs and has performed well, particularly catching the recent yen moves this week.
As you can see, it has already captured some strong opportunities, with one remaining unrealised profit trade still open on AUD/JPY.

It will be interesting to see what new setups and opportunities the bot identifies over the coming week.

Bull Bear Pip EA Menu

Testing has now been completed.
As indicated by the name Test6, the number (6) represents the six rounds of iterations, improvements, and updates the EA has gone through.
After multiple refinements and adjustments, the final version is now complete and ready for use.

The image in the centre shows the Bull Bear Pip Counter EA, while the images on the left and right show the free indicator version*.

Both products are fully coded and complete—I just haven't had time to create the product pages and promotional material yet.
If there's enough interest, I'll make them available sooner.

In my opinion, this is the most comprehensive Bull/Bear Pip Counter indicator and EA currently available for purchase, with features you won't find in other alternatives.

Hidden Markov Model Advert - This system is currently available for sale.

If you wait until I have a full year of verified data and the system continues to show strong profitability, its value will likely be in the tens of thousands.

Right now, the price is still affordable because it is still in the early stages of validation.
As more live data is collected and the performance is proven over time, the value will increase.

The price depends on what you want included — whether it’s a licence, the source code, the full copyright, or another arrangement.

One option would be a subscription model, allowing users to access the HMM without purchasing full ownership of the system.

The HMM can be accessed through a browser interface using an ngrok tunnel server, allowing users to view and interact with the system without owning the underlying code.
This provides a more flexible option for those who want access to the technology without purchasing full ownership.

Jason Smith 2026.08.05
The sale price depends on exactly what you want included, but as a rough guide it would be around £3,000.

Markov Matrix -One-of-a-kind, and ultra-rare trading system unlike anything else available.

I’m starting to think I might be in a very small minority of retail traders who approach system development this way.
I’m still refining the model's.

I don’t rely on backtesting as my main validation method.(You might be surprised to know i do zero backtesting)
I only forward test because I want to see how the system behaves in real-time market conditions, with all the uncertainty, execution issues, and psychological factors that come with live trading.
Proper validation can take months — sometimes a full year or more.

Most people want quick results from historical data.
I’m more interested in proving the system can survive the future.
If anyone is doing something similar, I’d genuinely like to hear about it.

Cold wallet hack -

Cold wallet's hardware crypto wallet was compromised, resulting in funds being drained from affected wallets.
The incident highlights one of the most significant hardware wallet security concerns in recent years.

The wallet software was closed source, meaning the community could not fully audit the code.
Whether this was due to a potential backdoor, a security flaw, or poor coding practices, the event raises serious questions about transparency and trust in hardware wallet security.

Reports indicate that more than 500 wallets were affected, with over 500 BTC initially reported stolen.
Later community estimates suggested the total loss may have exceeded 1,100 BTC as more affected wallets were identified, representing over $100 million in Bitcoin at the time.

If you had a properly generated Bitcoin seed plus a BIP39 passphrase (often called a "25th word"), you would likely have been protected against this type of seed-generation failure.
Jason Smith

The key lesson from incidents like this - The seed protects the wallet; the 25th word protects the seed. A properly used passphrase can protect you even if the original seed is exposed — but only if you manage it correctly.

I won't lie—I'm thinking about selling my Bitcoin position and waiting for a better re-entry.
Until the situation in the Middle East settles down, I don't see Bitcoin making a major move.
Over the next two years, I think it could reach somewhere around $180k–$200k.
Jason Smith
Jason Smith 2026.08.03
I'll only do that once I'm in a small profit—or maybe I won't. I might just hold for the next two years until the next U.S. election. Personally, I believe Bitcoin has become a slush fund, so I'm prepared to sit tight and wait.

The Psychological Grind -
"Diamond Hands" refers to the act of holding an asset through massive price swings with unwavering conviction.
It's a badge of honor, but it requires immense psychological resilience to watch your portfolio drop 20% or more without panic-selling.
In the crypto space, where such swings are common, this is the ultimate test of an investor's patience

Ride the tiger -

Compounding profits is one of the most powerful principles in trading.
Instead of chasing unrealistic gains or trying to win big on every trade, the focus is on taking consistent, controlled profits and allowing those gains to build over time.

Small returns, when managed with discipline and proper risk control, can grow into significant results through the power of compounding.
Successful trading is not just about individual wins — it is about consistency, patience, and letting a well-executed strategy work over the long term.

One of a kind -
As far as I am aware, nothing like this has ever been made available before.
The Markov Matrix represents a rare example of an advanced Hidden Markov Model (HMM) system being made available to retail traders.
Technology of this level is typically found behind closed doors within quantitative trading firms and proprietary hedge fund environments.

Bull Bear Pip counter EA menu

Supports multiple timeframes for pip calculations with configurable lookback periods.

Example:
Set the lookback period to 2 days on the H4 timeframe.
The EA will analyse all H4 candles within those 2 days (12 candles in total), count the number of bullish and bearish candles, calculate the total pips for each direction, and identify the dominant market bias.
You can then trade in the direction with the stronger bullish or bearish momentum.

This EA is a fully automated trading bot built from the Bull Bear pip counter indicator logic.
It takes the manual visual analysis and turns it into an auto-trading system that scans the market, detects when bulls or bears are dominating based on cumulative pip movement, and automatically executes buy or sell trades with built-in risk management.

Perfect for traders who want to capitalize on strong directional momentum without constantly monitoring the charts - the bot does the analysis, triggers signals, calculates ATR-based stop losses and take profits, and manages positions automatically, all while displaying real-time stats on your chart so you always know what it's doing.
