Two-Phase Project – Custom Indicator & Optional Expert Advisor (DAX M1)

I am looking for an experienced MQL5 developer to work on a two-phase project based on a clearly defined intraday trading strategy for DAX (M1 timeframe).

The project is intentionally divided into two distinct phases.

• Phase 1 is mandatory and consists of developing a custom indicator to visually evaluate and validate the strategy.

• Phase 2 is optional and will consist of developing the Expert Advisor, only if Phase 1 proves the strategy to be effective.

PHASE 1 – Custom Indicator (Validation Phase)

Purpose

The purpose of Phase 1 is to evaluate the real effectiveness of the strategy through visual signals before any automation.

No EA development will start without completing this phase.

Indicator Requirements

• Main chart indicator (NOT an oscillator)

• Displayed directly on the price chart

• Based on the full strategy logic provided

Indicator Must Include

• BUY and SELL arrows plotted on the chart

• Sound alerts (and popup alerts if possible) when a valid signal appears

• Signals generated only at candle close

• Visual representation of Stop Loss and Take Profit levels on the chart

  • (for visualization purposes only, no trade execution)

Indicator Must NOT Include

• ❌ No trade execution

• ❌ No position management

• ❌ No trailing stop logic

• ❌ No news filter

• ❌ No time filter

Indicators Used

Custom indicators provided by me

• VWAP Bands

• Bollinger BandWidth

• Bollinger %B (BBpB)

Standard / built-in indicators

• EMA 50 (Exponential Moving Average)

• EMA 200 (Exponential Moving Average)

• Bollinger Bands (20,2)

• Stochastic Oscillator (3,2,2)

Trading Instrument & Timeframe

• Instrument: DAX / GER40 / DE40

• Timeframe: M1

PHASE 2 – Expert Advisor (Optional, Conditional)

Phase 2 will be started only if Phase 1 confirms that the strategy is effective.

EA Scope (future phase)

• Full automation based on the validated indicator logic

• Trade execution

• Stop Loss, Take Profit, trailing stop

• Risk and position management

• News filter

• Time filter

Budget & Pricing (Fixed and Clear)

• Phase 1 – Custom Indicator only: 150 USD

• Total project price (Indicator + Expert Advisor): 400 USD

• Phase 2 will be discussed, approved, and paid only after successful completion of Phase 1

Proposals that do not respect this pricing structure will not be considered.

Additional Notes

• Clean, well-structured MQL5 code is required

• Indicator must be stable and lightweight

• Clear communication and respect of scope are essential
