Beta(alpha) testers needed. - Limited number of places.
As a programmer and a trader I have realized that there is a huge difference betwean how people tend to organize their Expert Advisors and how real traders work.
While ea is usually a state less simple automatum willing to enter or exit the market on predefined conditions this is not how professional price action trader does.
A good trader will make up his mind about market conditions, and if he receives consistant signals that the the market does play the scenario he assumed, he will enter.
If he then finds out that he was wrong he will cut losses, exit and become neutral (stay out of the market).
On the other hand, EA will stubbornly wait for oposit signals just to keep losing monay or to reverse position.
This requires simulating mental states, or in other words, different scenarios that we should adapt to.
It might sound a bit like out program should simulate self conciousness or a memory of past actions, at least.
It is a damn hard task to do in an imperative language like MQ4 or C, C#, Java or whatever other.
Well, it was, till now.
May I present you Ceremony (alpha version) - Trading tool.
Ceremony is a state machine programming environemnt + EA for MQL4 that is a bridge passing information back and forth from MT4 to Ceremony developement environment.

The idea of state machine implies that each state (a block on a drawing) corresponds to player's mental state, or assumptions of market conditions and/or his current situation (for instance, am I trading or watching).
States are simply connected with each other using transition arrows. Each transition has is waiting for a signal (ex. upper pin candle observed; OsMA momentum reverse, supply zone entered), and the first arrow from the current state, that recievies a signal, will be executed.
This way I can pritty easily construct a logic pattern that will let me behave differently when I have a wining trader, lossing trade or no trade at all.
I am currently almost done with first working version and I'm recruting testers to report feedback and suggest future developement that will, of what I'm sure, result in building a very profitable price action based robot and beside that, the most powerful tool (shipped without the strategy) available for contstructing and running automated trading on Meta Trader 4 (other trading terminals are also an option).
A successful candidate is on of following:
a)
- a successful systematic trader, aware of his strategy, understending PA reasons for what he calls an intuition (if he chooses to call it an intuition).
- good comunication skills, able to identify his needs and turn sophisticated knowladge into simple statements.
- willing to harness machine into working for him and instead of him.
- willing to brainstorm with the team and to rate the effects.
- discretion.
b)
- a bright mind - trader that has great analitic skills but fails emotionally in manual game.
- fast learner - able to understand the details of the concept of Workflow (State Machine).
- willing to learn a lot.
- throwing ideas, good ideas.
- discretion.
c)
- a .Net programmer with some knowledge of c#, Workflow Fundation 4.0, WCF, WPF and MQ4
- willing to support the developement of future versions of Ceremony, with his own hands and tired eyes.
- willing to help to organize team tools: wiki, bugtrack, svn, presentation room where will be meating learning, discussing progress and where I will do some introduction into Ceremony, State Machine and how to use it efficiently.
- discretion.
d) (optionally, and big question mark included)
- is willing to support this project with a donation or to invest or to commercialize the idea.
