I’m looking to hire an experienced quantitative trader or MQL4/MQL5 algorithm developer to build a custom trading strategy and EA for MT4 or MT5. The goal is to create a consistent, long-term profitable system with: Low drawdown (under 15% average) 30–40% monthly average returns (realistically tested) No martingale, no grid, no hedging loops Stable across brokers & accounts Robust against alpha decay 10+ years backtests + long forward tests Full source code delivery This is a serious long-term project, not a quick bot or recycled code. I want a real, mathematically sound, robust strategy. 🔥 Project Requirements 1. Strategy Development You will design a strategy that is: ✔ Systematic (rule-based) ✔ Works on major pairs, gold, indices, or crypto ✔ Uses clean logic (trend, volatility, mean reversion, breakout, etc.) ✔ Has stable win/loss distribution ✔ Has consistent edges that do NOT degrade quickly ✔ Includes full risk management features ABSOLUTELY NO: ❌ Martingale ❌ Grid ❌ Averaging down ❌ News gambling ❌ Overfitted curve-fits ❌ “Magic settings” for one broker 2. EA Development (MT4 or MT5) Build the EA in MQL4 or MQL5 Full source code must be provided Clean code structure (no obfuscation) Optimization parameters included Slippage & spread protection Risk management settings SL/TP logic and dynamic position sizing Custom filters if needed (volatility, volume, trend, etc.) 3. Testing Requirements You must provide: ✔ 10+ year tick-data backtests ✔ Forward test (minimum 30–60 days) ✔ Robustness testing (walk-forward optimization, Monte Carlo, etc.) ✔ Spread/slippage variation testing ✔ Broker-agnostic performance stability The strategy must remain profitable even under stress test conditions. 🔐 Delivery Items Fully functioning EA (MT4/MT5) Source code (.mq4 or .mq5) Strategy documentation All optimal set files Backtest & forward test reports VPS deployment instructions Ongoing support & updates (optional, negotiable) 💰 Budget Flexible, depending on: Your experience Quality of your design Depth of testing Long-term support I’m ready to pay well for a real, robust, institution-level EA. 📝 To Apply, You MUST Answer These: Provide previous EA or strategy development examples Provide verified results (MyFxBook/FXBlue or repo) Explain your experience in algo strategy design Describe the type of strategy you propose (high-level) Confirm you will NOT use grid, martingale, or averaging What instruments do you recommend for this? How will you ensure robustness + alpha decay resistance? What backtest tools do you use? Tick data? Estimated timeline for development + testing Do you provide long-term support or updates? Applicants who skip ANY question will be rejected.
