If you need an indicator, hire anyone. If you need a system that survives production, keep reading. Most trading devs have built an EA. I've built prop firms, and I still run them. I'm an Algorithmic trading systems developer, having experience with MetaTrader (MT5/MT4, MQL5/MQL4), Python, and quantitative infrastructure, Expert Advisors, trading bots, prop firm platforms, backtesting engines, and AI signal generation for forex, crypto, and equities. I build these systems end to end: strategy logic, execution layer, risk engine, and the infrastructure that keeps it running when real money is on the line. Where I've done it: Prop firms (3+ built, currently managing live), challenge and evaluation engines, drawdown and rule enforcement, trader dashboards, payout logic, MT5 integration. AI-driven signal generation systems. Custom indicator platforms. Real-time alerting infrastructure. Autonomous systems that run without me watching them. The stack: • MQL5 / MQL4 - Expert Advisors, custom indicators, execution logic, backtest optimization • Python - strategy research, backtesting, broker & exchange APIs, live execution engines • AI/ML - signal generation, model integration, decision layers • The layer around it - FastAPI/Django APIs, dashboards, Telegram/Discord alerts, deployment What actually separates me: Production experience. I've watched traders find the gap in a rule engine I wrote. I've dealt with latency, slippage, broker quirks, edge cases in breach logic, the things that never appear in a backtest and always appear in week two. That's the difference between code that works and a system that holds. Tell me what you're building. I'll tell you straight whether it's feasible, where the scope will bite you, and what it'll actually take, before you spend anything.
