I’m looking for an experienced algorithmic trading developer to build a fully rule‑based trading bot. This is not a discretionary or “AI/black box” system – all entry, exit, and risk management rules will be provided clearly and numerically in writing. Your job will be to: Translate a defined rule‑based trading strategy into clean, maintainable code. Implement detection logic for market conditions and patterns based on provided criteria (indicators, price action rules, time filters, etc.). Build all execution logic: order placement, modification, and closure according to the rules. Implement risk management: position sizing, stop loss, take profit, and other safety checks. Enable basic logging/monitoring so trades and decisions can be reviewed. Technical notes: Preferred languages: Python, C#, C++, or similar, or platform‑specific languages such as MQL4/5, Pine Script, or others depending on the final execution venue. The strategy is not related to blockchain, crypto, or DeFi in any way – it is a traditional markets rule‑based system. This is a fully systematic project; no discretionary or ML optimization is required initially. What I’m looking for: Solid experience building automated trading systems or EAs based on predefined rules (please share examples if possible). Strong understanding of conditional logic, state tracking, and working with market data feeds/APIs. Good communication and reliability for iterative clarification and testing. Project details: Project type: Hourly (Standard Project). Hourly range: 2–8 USD/hour. Estimated workload: Less than 30 hours per week, for 1–3 months depending on progress and collaboration. When you apply, please include: Your preferred tech stack or trading platform(s). 1–2 short examples of similar rule‑based bots you’ve built. Your rough approach to implementing and testing a rules‑based system like this.
