Build Institutional-Grade MT5 Algorithm Using FIX API and Latency Optimization

Description

We are developing TBM Lightening, a high-performance algorithmic trading system built on MetaTrader 5.
The goal is to achieve institutional-level execution speed and adaptive intelligence using premium data feeds such as Refinitiv Eikon and RANsquawk, routed via FIX API.

We already have our core trading logic; we now need an expert-level MQL5 developer who can translate that logic into an optimized, production-ready engine.

Responsibilities

• Build a fully functional MT5 Expert Advisor implementing provided trade logic.

• Integrate external data feeds via API (Eikon/RANsquawk).

• Optimize for ultra-low latency (< 50 ms preferred) and high fill-rate accuracy.

• Design modular, well-documented code with adjustable parameters.

• Conduct live latency and slippage testing.

• Provide full source code, documentation, and test reports.

Required Skills

• Expert-level MQL5 programming

• Low-latency optimization and multi-threaded event handling in MT5

• FIX API integration experience

• External API / data-feed integration (JSON/XML, WebSocket, etc.)

• Advanced backtesting and optimization

• Risk-management logic (drawdown limits, equity protection, trade suspension)

• Statistics & mathematics for strategy modeling

• Familiarity with Forex markets

• Clean documentation and version control discipline (Git preferred)

Nice to Have

• Experience with prop-firm / institutional-grade bots

• Familiarity with Linux environments for low-latency deployment

• Understanding of data mining / machine-learning techniques

Deliverables

• Compiled EA + complete source code (.mq5)

• Integration of Eikon or alternate feed for external data input

• Live testing results + latency benchmark

• Clear setup documentation

Budget: Flexible for the right developer
Timeline: 2 – 4 weeks
Work Type: Freelance / Remote
Communication: All via MQL5 platform (escrow protected)

Only apply if you have verifiable experience building high-performance, low-latency MT5 systems or FIX-based execution engines.
