Period above is not critical. What I require..... I wish to create a semi-auto EA for use on a daily basis. The details are quite complex to explain in an email but I do have some detailed specs that are 90% complete. Ideally (although not imperative) the programmer I select would be within driving distance of SE London so that I can initially meet face to face to explain/discuss the finer details and best way forward. Ongoing frequent communication after this initial meeting will be critical and is fine via this forum, Skype, email etc. General Details of EA as follows: Manually select/set specific Trading Times of Day and Activation Price Levels, when specific Candlestick Patterns appear at these Times/Levels together with appropriate entry criteria being met than Trade is opened. EA will then manage Trade via various options of Stop moving and Take Profit etc. until position is closed. The Activation Price Levels will be manually set/entered each day as well as either looking for a Short or Long Trade. The Times of Day will generally be the same each day although may need to be changed on adhoc basis. The Candlestick Patterns that will need to appear at these Times/Levels will be common reversal patterns and will also include 'M' (topping formations) and 'W' (bottoming formations). There will be a need for various options available for entry criteria as this EA will be used by different individuals who will have different comfort levels in relation to risk. The options to control break even and take profit points will also be numerous for the same reasoning. The EA will require encryption/dll or some other security so that it can be safely licensed to others. There will be a need for linking/use of excel (or similar) so that numerous Activation Levels over the previous year can be back-tested without the need to stop and enter the levels each day manually. When relevant patterns appear in back-testing they will each need to be identifiable on chart. Ease of use, flexibility and minimal drain on PC resources will be very important. The Inputs for this project will be considerable and I would prefer the use of a 'floating panel' on chart for the entry of frequently entered information e.g. Activation Levels, Long/Short, Initial SL, Initial TP etc. Also, the use of some drop down boxes for entry of other information rather than just using the standard Input screens provided in MT4. Hopefully, this gives a flavour of what is involved in the project. I am looking for an experienced, reliable programmer who is an excellent communicator and is willing to offer advice throughout development on ways that the final EA can be improved. If the programmer can bring added value to the finished version of the EA by inclusion of other useful standard features that would be a plus. Please supply working examples of previous work. Thanks in advance. Richard Davey
