Don't let him become your developer, because while the backtesting system may seem fine, after running in the real market for a while, the program might suddenly fail to check the entry conditions and open positions at duplicate locations, causing your account balance to drop to zero in a single day—a nightmare for everyone! This is simply because there's a bug in the code.

I asked him why orders were being missed, and he added a retry function for me. However, orders were still being missed, so I gradually increased the retry count from 1 to 999,999. I assumed that 999,999 retry counts would prevent missed orders, and I had done backtesting, which didn't show this problem. Then, EA opened all positions at almost the same price, and my account immediately went to zero. Later, I asked someone, and it turned out that the retry function didn't check if the orders met the opening conditions. He hadn't told me this, which caused me significant losses.

The developer give me the "Retry"code: void PlaceOneOrder(ENUM_ORDER_TYPE OT,double vol, long id, int step)
{ int i; bool res; for( i=1; i<=NumRetry; i++) { if( i!=1 ) Print("Retrying #",(string)i); res=PlaceOneOrder_(OT,vol,id,step); if( res ) break; Sleep(1000); }
}
