Hi

I'm looking for some EA programming done.
I came across this programmers website. Nick Bilak - http://mql4.info/brief.htm . His service seems quite affordable at 10 euros per hour.

If you have paid him to do some programming, did he do a good job, and could you strongly recommend his service (or not)?

Many thanks.

google this ==> "Nick Bilak" metatrader

You'll be able to download and examine some of the indicators he's coded and get a feel for his level of expertise.

I actually had used this programmer to make an EA. I was just checking to see if anyone had experienced similar.

Basically he said it would take him 2-3 days to do my fairly simple EA. But it took him longer to complete the fairly simple EA so that it worked properly, to my original specifications........
but at least he EVENTUALLY got the job done to my satisfaction, and wasn't expensive at 10 euro's per hour.......so i'll go easy on him , as he may be a young kid struggling to make a living in a not so nice country!

Sorry to hear that. There are alot of self-proclaimed programmers out there that think they've got it figured out because they can populate an array. Unfortunately they don't have experience and typically write poor code. I get quite a few people coming to me looking to get someone else's code fixed and I'm no longer surprised by what I see.

Now, that said... I program for a living and I make mistakes too. Just recently I found/fixed an error in an EA I had delivered weeks earlier. An embarrassing error on my part.

He did taker longer than expected to do the job, but he did get the job done to my meticulous satisfaction at the end of the day.

I'd rather be paying someone the inexpensive rate of 10 euros per hour/a fixed rate in this case, and have them get the job done later than expected, than be paying a programmer 30 euros per hour/a higher fixed rate, and encounter similar delays.

The problem with charting platform custom programming services is that there aren't, as far as i am aware, any places where you can go to see reviews. Therefore you take a chance with whoever you hire to program for you. It's a bit of a lucky dip!

Therefore it also seems logical to assume that there is no guarantee that a 30 euro per hour programmer will be any better than a 10 euro per hour programmer.
