Pair programming with me to help me finish my EA.

I'm looking for an MQL4 expert -- best of the best -- and I'm willing to pay top dollar for it.

In particular, I need someone very confident with OOP MQL4 -- Classes, constructors, inheritance, private vs public, instantiating objects, passing them into and out of functions, etc. This project needs all of that. Please only apply if you're very proficient with all of that.

I am reasonably good with MQL4 and C++ but I'm no expert. I have written something like 70% of an EA that I need help completing. I'd prefer not to outline the requirements of the strategy here because it contains pretty sensitive intellectual property (mine and my business partner's).  My goal here is to find someone who, for most of the time spent on this project, can fill the gaps in my MQL4 skills, and pair-program with me over screen sharing to complete the EA. The rest of the time spent on this will be some cases where I could explain a requirement for a single complex function or class and you could take that away, build it and bring that back to incorporate into the app.

I've been the developer in scenarios with a client or two where they've half built something and asked me to work with them to finish it, but on seeing it, my thoughts were "omg what a mess, we have to start again".  I don't believe that will be the case in this instance for you (with me as the client).I have a computer science degree, and I'm a very good programmer in other languages, so I know a lot of good stuff about well structured code, algorithms, OOP, etc. and I believe I've applied all that pretty well to this app. I just struggle with many of the nuances of C++ and MQL4. I could figure this app out for myself in time, but at the moment I have more money than time, so paying someone else to see it through with me sooner rather than later is a suitable outcome.

On my budget: I'm flexible. I'd rather pay more for someone who really knows that they're doing -- the best of the best -- than pay less for someone who mostly knows what they're doing but sometimes has to fumble around a bit, or whatever.  Of course I don't want to pay any more than necessary, but I'll pay whatever's necessary to get the job done, both quickly, and with high quality. At this point I don't know what I don't know -- which is part of the problem -- so putting an accurate number on what's required is vague at best. But as a rough idea, ideally we could do this for around USD $3000. I'll be comfortable going to $5000.I'm willing to go higherif there's a good reason why it's necessary. Whatever it takes (within reason).

Ideally you'll be flexible with time. Since I'm looking for someone to workwith mefor almost all time spent on this, it needs to be someone who can work within my schedule. Still, my schedule is somewhat flexible, so that shouldn't be too hard. But, for example, I'm in US Central time zone and so I don't want someone who is in a time zone such that you're only available to work with me at say 3am my time. ;-)

I think I'll have around 15 hours per week for my part in this. Possibly more. Due to my day job, I’d prefer mostly weekends, and/or evenings, if possible, but if not possible I can figure out how to make it work in business hours, as my day job has some flexibility. I'm not sure how many hours total it will be, but I’d make a wild guess at about 50 - to get the desired outcome of a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) up and running first and foremost. As with budget, if there's a good reason it needs significantly more than that, I'll adapt. Beyond that MVP, there'll be more work to refine it, but I think that should be a separate project/order, here.

(Not essential, but if you are also a Javascript guru, then that will be a great bonus. I have a lot of node/Javascript code that I want to integrate into this long term -- I have access to an API able to do that -- and someone to help with that would be great also. However, that's only a bonus -- for me if you can do it, and for you if you like the idea of long term ongoing work with this -- but not a requirement. I can hire someone else later for that part if the best person for this immediate job has MQL4 expertise but can't help with JS/node).

A few more random points:  

This is very OOP.  I've found there are a lot of developers around that say they know MQL4 and/or C++ but they're not familiar with the complexities of MQL4/C++'s OOP (classes, etc. as I mentioned in the first paragraph). Eg. how to correctly pass objects into functions as parameters, and how to return objects from functions as results, seems to be a question a lot of MQL4/C++ "experts" don't seem to be able to answer. I'm looking for someone who can do all that kind of stuff in MQL4 without even needing to think about it (because you've already done it a bazillion times in the past, and that's why you're anexpert).

I kinda need someone whose spoken English is near native level. I don't know why but for some reason, I'm sorry to say, I have a lot of difficulty understanding foreign (to me) accents. That's an issue with me, not any reflection on anyone else. Happy to try with anyone but just a heads up that that could be a problem.

Exclusive rights to all code developed together will go to me. If I ask you to write a class, function, etc. on your own, I will own it but am happy to grant you license to use that for your own needs as described in I.12 of this site's Rules.

I think that about covers it. If you've read all of this and think you can help, I'd love to talk more.

Thanks!
