Programming skills for sale

Hi,

I'm opening this thread for the programmers that want to offer their skills for coding and also for people(buyers) that want EAs/Indicators or something else to be coded. So feel free to post your announcements but please for the sake of order keep it simple and organized.

With this opportunity i will start the thread by offering my programming skills first:


I am a programmer and have good experience with Metatrader platform both MT4,MT5,NinjaTrader,DBFX Api,Dukascopy Api/JForex,FIX protocol,any other api or webservice that your broker presents.I also code c#,vb.net,c++,vb6 so your strategy can be coded as standalone .exe also. If you have ideas that you want to try, I can help you to make them reality.
I'm working cheap and also we can negotiate the prices. I can tell you before, how much it will take me to code, so you know how much you have to wait for delivering. I also would like to speak live with the buyers on yahoo,icq,msn or whatever you use, before project start(if possible).

If anyone interested pm or email me: [email protected]

Thanks, Victor

I'm looking for some skills...

I'm going to be automating my primary model here in the near future and will require some work. The majority of the work will need to be done in c++ and I'll eventually want the application to communicate on FIX so I can automate into Currenex.

I'll be providing sample parameters for the code to protect the actual work so I'll need the raw code so the inputs can be properly adjusted and compiled.

If anyone is up to the task I'd be interested in chatting with you more so we can begin to map out some of the work. It will probably be two or three months before I can actually afford to launch the project, but would like to get some of the ground work laid out. Feel free to add me to you skype so we can chat live (we'll need it while things are in development anyways).

If your good at C++ and think you can get a handle on FIX shoot me a PM.

Thanks,

John

FXAnalytics,

This seems an insteresting project, can you please post some more details about it here?
I haven't worked with Currenex yet but if this will be a good/big project and no one with experience with them will make you a better offer i would like to help you. Anyway please first post some more details about the project to make and idea about the whole thing.

Thanks, Victor

Ive done what you are asking for.. I do most of my programming in Delphi though, not C++. We have written broadcasters that take signals from MT4 and send them to ECN's.

Nice tread! i have been programming using C++, delphi from 5 years. i just start to play around with the mt4. what kind of back testing data have you been using. i have seen ppl compliant about the data from
alpari-idc.com are not working either. But i can not really find a good alternative. I would appreciate it if someone can shed some light!

thanks

Hi,

Yeah i thought it would be a good idea but it seems that those that search programmers rather post new threads than posting a request here. From my point of view it's harder to find their threads there than to search for a single message/buyer in a single thread, or look for the newest messages.
I just wanted to organise things a bit but it seems it doesn't work...

Thanks, Victor

i have been a programmer for years using c, c++, and java...i am relativly new to mq4, however, it not to hard to learn...

i am also doing my master thesis in computer science creating a rule-base trading system...if any of you sucessful professional traders (you main income comes from your trading) and would like to have your systems tried and tested, i am all ears.

it would also me nice to have a repository of EA, indicators, scripts, and libraries at forexfactory, that users could contribute to it.

When I have a few minutes I'll sit down and outline the basic functionality of what I'm looking for... It might help raise some questions I haven't thought of yet which will help the development process.

Here are the basic things I can think of off the top of my head...

The appliation will eventually need to communicate with Currenex via FIX, so that functionality needs to be built in...

There will be between 50 and 60 different different inputs that need to be dynamically updated (they way they are handled will change often - from not being used to relatively complex usage, I'll give an example in a minute).

The application needs to allow mannual intervention on different levels. There are probability and efficiency studies I've conducted that signal when model risk is high; I need to actively adjust leverage at those times...

I also need to be able to add manual price overrides: There are times when algo efficiency is low right out of the box and a filter needs to be applied... I will need to be able to key in specific price levels that coincide with price action and specific filter events.

Regarding the inputs I need to be able to switch between two different sets. One set is tuned to counter trend the other to in-trend. The impact of each input will change over time.

The input parameter code will look something like this (this is a very old sample - I will not be providing a current or good code to the programmers to protect the work)... Again I'll need to be able to update this on a regular basis and then re-compile the app into a working state.

The application will obviously need to be able to accept live data from a broker and calculate the different v[] parameters... I'm only scratching the surface here but this will give you an idea of what I need.

There is going to be more but some of that will be best left to later when I've actually got a non-disclosure, non-compete on file etc...

you can email me at [email protected] and we can exchange numbers by email. i would like to know more about this project and how large it is.

Not sure what you mean by "how large it is"... Are you referring to the size of the company (small), the size of the data set (really large)... can you clarify for me?

I was just asked a really good question about usage and I should clarify... I'm basically out of the business of being an CTA and don't ever see myself managing funds for a larger number of clients again.

Having said that, if I was able to align myself with a pool, fund etc I would certainly trade on that level. So, there is a good possibility (I hope) that the model will find its way back into a commercial "for profit" environment.

There is a lot to do, and I have to get the darn thing back into the market "actively" etc and get the track-record going again, but I think in a year or so I should be able to knock on a few of those biggers doors and potentially get funded (if returns etc hold up).

At any rate, just keep that in mind - I intend on making money with this thing (not just the returns it should generate, either).

I thought I had a good setup here locally with a programmer that has done some other work for me; I was going to cut him into the company for about 25%... He's a hell of a SQL guy (lead db designer for a fortune 500) and can rip the VB .Net apps out like no ones business, but the c++ and fix just aren't his strong suit, so I'm looking for outside help now...

Have had a couple of good hits here so far, definately some programming talent floating around FF... sure do appreciate Merlin letting us run this thread! It's a good networking source and I think that just makes our community that much stronger.

I need a coder for a simple and profitable system.

Interested experienced coders please PM me with your contact details (email) and I'll send you the details.

If you cannot PM then send email to juxta16 (at) yahoo.com

Thanks

Can you please contact me ? I couldn't sent pm. My email is iodra(at)yahoo.com

Hi,

I wanted to announce that i will take from now only the medium/big projects. I got a lot of work and tryed to solve everybodys problems/projects but can't do it working at 10 projects at the same time. So i thought that it would be great to let everybody know that i will not accept anymore projects unde let's say 200$.
If you have small jobs (alerts/small indicators/es's or other things like that) i will do only when i have no other jobs allready taken.


Thanks, Victor

Hey there

I came across this company a while ago... I had them do up some Genetic Programming/Auto Trade/Simulator ideas I had...

I thought I would mention them here cause surprisingly they weren't very expensive (for the quantity of work anyway!) - they have some pretty major clients already which means their code library keeps costs down for private traders.

You can find them at www.CodeYourTrades.com - I dealt with "Justin" if you are looking for a recommendation.

Good luck with it!
Shar.

Hi I would like a simple EA making that shudnt take someone too long if they no what they are doing.
It requires no Indicators. All it needs to do is buy at open of next candle, then after soo many pips take profit or if it hit stop loss it reverse the order, i.e. it was buying but got stopped out so then it shud instantly place a sell order with the same take profit and stop loss. Also it wud need to double up the lot size with each loosing trade untill profit is reached, then start over again. Also the starting lot size if possible to be variable.
If anyone is interested pm me and roughly how much you wud charge. Thanks.

Hi guys,

Just finished with some projects i started ago and i can take more now . Sorry for those that i couldn't respond i was very very busy last month and couldn't take anymore projects.
Now i'm free so you can contact me again if i have not reponded, will try help you all as much as possible.

Thanks, Victor

Alo alo,

Please check my thread with a technical problem .

Comment or send me a pm or both.

Thank you

I know an experience coder.have something to be coded?PM me

Blazer,

Sorry man i am not coding for tradestation i am coding only for metatrader.
Anyway you can always solve those kind of problems with a custom exe that executes the transactions on whatever platform you need and the strategy to be coded inside that exe. But you need to know a higher level coding language that can at least work with processes.

Or this should also be possible: you could write your code for metatrader and make a simple exe that reads the packets metatrader sends to your broker and send those to the tradestation broker. But you have to know both formats of the packets.

Thanks, Victor
