Looking for programmer

Dear all

I am newbie in the filed of hireing a programmer so I need a bit of help on that.
Where I should start? Who is reliable and who is not so reliable? How can I be sure that the programmer does not steal my idea and then sell it?
If you guys and girls can but me on right tracks on those subjects and maybe there is something else I might need to know when hireing a programmer I would love to know that too.

Test your idea first w/ manual forward testing and visual back testing. An awful lot of proposed systems are not profitable over time.

Don't know, if I give you a referral and they turn out to be bogus then that reflects badly on me. I don't like giving referrals for that reason. With that said, maybe you can ask Ronald Raygun.

That is really, really, really, really unlikely. Most "ideas" in trading aren't worth the electrons it takes to transmit them. *IF* you are certain it's profitable, then be prepared to shell out some money. Talk w/ a lawyer, get a non-disclosure agreement printed up, then find a programmer that's willing to work under one. Then again if it's profitable, then you shouldn't have any trouble there.

Heck, if you can afford my $1000/hr consulting fee, I'd be happy to do it for you under NDA.

What language do you plan to have this written in?

When the programmer find your strategy is very profitable, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't use that strategy. Most of MQL programmer do trading. So, there will be conflict of interest.

Your best way to protect your strategy is by making some parameter anonymous. Lets say your strategy uses a set of moving average with different periods. Ask programmer to make those MA period adjustable and don't tell him the exact periods.

Hope this help

I presented an idea to him which became an EA, I had the option of it becoming available for sale or to pay for his time.

Very professional guy with excellent programming skills.

I can vouch for this guy. Ive had him create 2 EA's for me and he is very fast, efficient and will provide and NDA for every project. He also has very good ratings.

That site is also nice because you put the money into an escrow account and he doesnt get paid until you release it. If you cant find anyone around here you feel you can trust at least check him out. There are also other programmers there if for some reason Marcelo doesnt suit your needs.
