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.

Recognize manipulation and treachery before it reaches the battlefield — sometimes the best defense is awareness.

In fact I think we'd be fooling ourselves.
If we had an audience this large and didn't realize
That there were some enemies present

Waiting for that double bottom H4 (BitCoin)
I’m watching the $60K level very closely right now. Low purple line.

I don’t pay too much attention to tester results, but I know a lot of you do. This bot traded all last year, and at 1 lot it’s over 1 million up. Nevertheless, it’s still good to see it performing like this.

My apologies — I thought I had it set for the whole of last year, but that was only the last 6–7 weeks.

Traders, due to ongoing unexpected behavior by MQL5, I’ve decided to delete my profile.
While it means walking away from a year of work, I’m ready to move on and leave MQL behind.
I have requested account deletion.

I just bought one of these.
Tip for you:
Create your 24-word passphrase and store a small amount of crypto in the ledger.
Then, create another wallet using the same 24 words in recovery mode, but this time, add a "salt" (an extra word or phrase).
This essentially creates a "dummy wallet" that holds only a small amount.
If someone ever finds your phrase or tries to force you to reveal it, they'll only get access to the dummy wallet, not the real one.
You can't change the 24-word passphrase itself, but you can add a salt to create an extra layer of security.
