Development of a Professional AI Trading Bot

Hello,

I hope you are well.

I am looking to engage an experienced developer or team to design and build a high-performance AI-powered trading bot for financial markets (primarily Forex, with a focus on XAUUSD).

The goal is to develop a system that is not only profitable but also robust, risk-controlled, and scalable for both personal capital and potential prop firm use.

Project Overview

The bot should be capable of:

• Executing trades autonomously based on predefined strategies and AI-driven decision-making
• Operating across key trading sessions (London and New York)
• Adapting to changing market conditions (volatility, spread, liquidity)

Core Requirements

• Integration with platforms such as MT4/MT5 or API-based brokers
• Strategy logic combining:
  • Price action / market structure
  • Indicators (e.g., RSI, EMA, ATR)
  • Optional machine learning components for pattern recognition or optimisation
• Risk management system:
  • Fixed % risk per trade
  • Daily drawdown protection
  • Equity protection / stop trading rules
• Trade management:
  • Smart stop loss and take profit
  • Trailing stop (ATR or volatility-based)
  • Partial closes and scaling options

Performance & Safety

• Backtesting capability with high-quality historical data
• Forward testing (demo environment)
• Protection against overfitting
• Prop firm compliance (drawdown rules, consistency)

Additional Features (Preferred)

• Dashboard or interface for monitoring performance
• Ability to adjust parameters without code changes
• Trade logging and analytics
• VPS compatibility for 24/7 execution

Questions

• What tech stack would you recommend for this type of system?
• Do you have experience building trading bots or working with financial APIs?
• Can you provide examples or performance results of previous work?
• Estimated timeline and cost for development?

I am looking for a long-term collaboration, with potential for ongoing optimisation and scaling if the system performs as expected.

Please let me know your availability for a discussion.
