Hello Irwin
I am in need of an expert programmer to help me develop a very complicated and technically challenging Expert Advisor in MQL4
I have made this project private as I want to select just the right man for this most important contract
While I expect to pay a fair and competitive price for any work done, my primary concern is not the price
It is to receive programming done with great precision and expertise
I also place great importance on good communication and a smooth working relationship
While you seem to have an excellent reputation for speedy work, this is also not a big concern for me
I would much rather you take all the time you need to produce excellent code and excellent results
In any event, each step in the project will require much testing by me before going on to the next step (24hrs – 48 hrs)
There will be many such steps
Since my long term goal is to go to a better platform/broker than MT4 – there would be much additional work required to convert 1000s of lines of MQL code into C+/Java and to interface it with an API using the FIX 3.4 protocol
I provide below a very simple outline of my proposed expert advisor – which I call Slipstream:
1 Primary Indicator – this is a digital filter
4 Secondary Indicators – these are also digital filters and communicate with the Primary
All of these have already been written but repaint badly and have some other minor problems
For the many hours of manual testing I have done so far, all these bugs are not a problem as I just ignore them
However, for automated trading – they will all have to be fixed, of course
All these indicators then have to be synchronized very precisely with standard price bars based on time (according to custom rules I have developed)
However, this becomes more complicated because I usually work in Multi-Time Frames simultaneously
While looking at my base chart of M15 – an M30 – M60 – M240 charts are also being calculated at the same time
When certain patterns of alignment appear – then I trade
As long as these patterns stay together – the trade continues
When the pattern breaks up – I exit immediately and wait for the next pattern to develop and so on …….
These trades are usually longer term – not of the short scalping kind
Since these filters are digital – they seem to work on any currency, index, stocks etc.
In addition, I have recently completed much testing on Renko Bars and Constant Range Bars (CRB) with excellent results
As well, I have custom code for VRenko – which are bars that are “not” exactly identical but change slightly according to the ATR of recent trading activity
Also, I have Variable Range Bars (VRB) which are similar to VRenko
Following along with the same concepts as Multi-Frame Trading – I also want to look at 2 Renkos (i.e M9 & M15) simultaneously – wait for the alignment and then trade
The same possibility exists for CRBs as well
Of course, any good EA will also need standard features such as: money management, stop losses, handling of requotes, platform disconnects, etc
As I said , this is a big project !
I see that you prefer payment with Scriptlance – this is fine for me as well
Unfortunately, my typing is rather slow – arthritis – so I would prefer to work by email and Skype and/or Yahoo Messenger Voice
In addition, I have setup my primary server for remote collaboration – TeamViewer Remote & Whiteboard – where we can both work at the same time when needed
For agreeing on the cost of this project – I would propose that we do it – one step at a time
I will provide you with detailed specifications for each step and then you can calculate the cost
I will also provide source code of whatever sections of the project that are already done
If you are available and this project interests you – please contact me as soon as possible
I look forward to hearing from you
My Best Regards
