Custom Expert Advisor (EA) Development
I build full Expert Advisors from trader-provided rules or from scratch. Each EA is developed to trade on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 with robust handling for order execution, rejections, broker-specific symbol names, and worst-case scenarios such as large spreads, slippage and gaps. Deliverables include: commented source code (when agreed), an inputs panel for easy tuning, test logs, and a demo build for forward testing. I also implement risk management features such as max daily losses, position limits, fixed-dollar take profit modes, break-even, trailing stops and adaptive lot-sizing when requested.
Indicator Design & Visual Tools
Visual indicators are invaluable for manual traders and algorithmic systems alike. I create indicators that draw order blocks, fair value gaps, market structure, ATR bands, and custom signals. Indicators can be built as helpers for manual trading or as the logic core used by an EA. They include customizable visual preferences (line thickness, color, labels) and chart hotkeys for turning features on/off and exporting data.
Debugging, Optimization & Refactoring
Many developers and traders inherit EAs with errors, duplicate logic, or poor performance. I diagnose common runtime bugs, compilation errors, and logic flaws. Optimization tasks include reducing CPU usage, correcting memory leaks (where applicable), and improving time-of-day logic and symbol handling. Refactoring cleans code for maintainability, enabling future upgrades without breaking existing behavior.
MQL4 ↔ MQL5 Conversion
Converting between MQL4 and MQL5 is more than syntax translation: it requires rethinking order handling, symbol references and event lifecycles. I provide accurate conversions that preserve logic, then test and adapt execution patterns so the new version behaves correctly under MT5’s different order model.
Web / Telegram Integrations and Licensing
For sellers and advanced users, I build licensing servers (PHP/MySQL) and integrations that allow an EA to verify license keys, limit activations, and contact a license API. I also integrate Telegram alerts or build web dashboards that display live trade data, logs and performance summaries. These features help sellers manage clients and allow traders to operate securely.
Consultation & Strategy Review
Strategy consultations are useful before coding begins. I evaluate your trading rules, performance expectations and prop-firm constraints. I will recommend design choices: which filters to include, recommended inputs, how to handle overnight exposure, and what tests to run. This reduces rework and ensures the delivered product matches your goals.
How to Start
To start, use the contact page to send: a short project brief, sample charts or screenshots, any existing code (if modifying), preferred timeframes and symbols, and a budget range. I’ll reply with a proposed scope, milestones, and an estimate. Small projects start with a specification and a demo; larger projects are split into milestones (prototype, beta, final) so you can review progress and I can iterate reliably.
