hi there
Im looking for an experienced coder/programmer who can write an automated robot to trade through Oanda's API. I see you can use many languages like Python, Java, Javascript, C++ and so on.
A major requirement is you must speak English fluently but I much prefer it as your first language. I've worked with programmers who spoke good english, but it is too difficult for me. Too many miscommunications and misinterpretations. Slows down the process and had lots of code written that was wrong based on not understanding correctly. Wasting both my own, and their own time and effort.
But I've been in and out of the Forex market over the past few years.
Iv had a strategy iv tested with demo's that looked promising. Will be doing more demo'ing with similar EA on MT4 to fine tune my math.
Problem is it needs hedging and FIFO and small trade sizes for when I go live.
ATC Brokers fits my needs except the minimum trade size is .05lots (5000units of currency) and unless I sent a buy order at 6000units and a sell order simultaneusoly for 5000units against it for a net trade size of 1000units id have a manageable trade size...but id be commissioned for 11000 units and it would cut my profit by 50%-90% so no go there unless i had much much more capital.
Alas we have Oanda which allows trade sizes as low 1 single unit of currency.
With a sub account for longs and one for shorts you can hedge.
AND so long as you have trades with different position sizes, like 500units and 501units you can close either position first. If you had 2 500unit trades, you must close the first.
Even if I lived outside the US, Oanda looks like one of the best options, especially being one of the most reputable brokers globally.
I am currently saving money for the live account as it does need more capital I've ever traded with. And I'm saving for the coding.
Its a very simple strategy, it just needs to clean as can be and reliable and bug free. I'll PM the details upon request. There is no intellectual property i need to protect, its a very basic automation, the hard part is manual trading/analyzing of traditional options to trade along side it, which you will not have to worry about.
Like i said, I'm still saving for the account itself so Im just testing the waters to see who has experience with Oanda's API.
Could be end of year before Im all set to go.
I used to be on ForexFactory almost everyday. Im on a few times a week now. Just be patient with me, no rush yet.
Shoot me a PM your experience and background and Ill tell you what I need.
Thanks
I think this is a legal post, if not my apologies Mods
