programming an ea together

hi there,


i had an idea i want to share with you.
im looking for people who are interested to develop an expert advisor together. its not necessary to have programming knowledge to be a part, but it would be great to have some experience in forex, the more, the better.


if i find some people for this project, i will setup a forum and all we need to discuss and code.


if you are interested, answer to this topic. some informations about you and your forex related skills would be nice.


best regards,
mike

I'm assuming you're starting from somewhere?

Why are you asking for our credentials when you've provided none? no offense but the 5 posts you've provided in this forum doesn't say much about you.

As for developing an EA, it's much better to just state out your idea here and we see if we're interested in helping out. There's just too many people here asking for help and not enough to go around. Not that I wanna be overly realistic... I'm all for helping out but I'm against wasting time; and you've yet to prove that you are worth our time.

regards,
Zen

the idea is to start with a blank new file and before the first line of code will be written, there are many things to talk about ;-)

the thing is that most people code alone, have got some ideas, then fail and start again. all of them surfing the forums and maybe also spent some money on commercial ea's. maybe with a little bit of success but mostly without.

there are people who cant code but have some skills in math. others can code but dont have a big enough background on forex. others just have got big experience in forex and trading. if it would be possible to collect all this know how, i see a much better chance to create something really profitable.

and oups, a short info about me ;-)
im 33 years old, male, living in switzerland. im a programmer with not many experience in forex.

best regards,
mike

That said, this is generally how things work on FF.

 

1. System developer comes up with trading system idea
2. Programmer agrees with trading system idea and codes an EA/indicator for the system developer
3. Other members/observers take interest and start to add in their own features, developments, and ideas into the system.

That said, you mentioned you are a programmer, right? I have an indicator which helps determine support and resistance. What I need is a way to get that indicator to automatically adjust itself so that the support and resistance lines have some meaning. More details can be found here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=148882

I have some more programming projects I would not mind collaborating on. I just need to find a programmer who is far better than I am to help convert what I'm working on into code. (Particularly my discretion, I haven't found a programmer to code my discretion yet).

Ten independent free minded programmers will take ten different paths, even if concentrated on coding one single trading plan. I believe more in discussing trading ideas and each one working out his/her own project. Unless there was a sponsor... . I don't have enough capital to do it, so I do the ant's work on my own ideas. Good luck with your project.

it wast just an idea, i dont want to bother you or steal your time or any knowledge.

I think it is an excellent idea and I wish you success. For time and $$$ constraints, I don't feel I am able to engage in such a project with the necessary commitment. Teamwork may get surprisingly complex through the internet. Don't feel discouraged by my post. Sorry that I have maybe bothered your. If you like, I will delete my post or ask moderators to do so. I have not contributed in any way and probably I should haven't posted. Again, I wish you success in your project.
