I run a trading education and tools business in the UK (FX, indices, crypto).
My next major project is to build a modular strategy-builder and subscription platform where traders can create, test and run their own systems without needing to code. Over time, I also want to incorporate AI/agents to help with testing, optimisation and reporting.
I’m looking for a long-term partner-type developer, not just a one-off freelancer. Someone who understands trading, enjoys building algos, and wants a stable ongoing collaboration.
What you’ll do
You will work directly with me (professional trader) to:
Design and build automated trading systems and tools, including:
MT4 Expert Advisors and indicators (MQL4)
TradingView indicators and strategies (Pine Script v5)
Small internal tools for backtesting, analysis and reporting
Help architect a modular “build any system” framework, where:
Entries, filters, exits, risk management, time filters, etc. are all modular
Users can plug different pieces together to create custom strategies
Build and maintain simple Chrome extensions / JavaScript tools, for example:
Pulling or displaying market data from websites or APIs
Integrations that support our trading tools and workflows
Run backtests and forward tests, and produce clear performance summaries:
Win rate, RR, equity curve, drawdown, parameter variations
(Later phase) Help integrate AI/LLM/agents into the workflow to:
Automate testing runs
Collect and summarise results
Suggest parameter/strategy tweaks
This is a long-term role. If we’re a good fit, I want you working with me continuously as we build out the platform and a suite of systems for subscribers.
Required skills
Please only apply if you have most of these:
Strong experience with MQL4 / MT4 (building and maintaining EAs and indicators)
Strong experience with TradingView Pine Script (indicators + full strategies)
Comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript and Chrome Extensions
Solid understanding of trading concepts:
Entries, exits, SL/TP, trailing stops
Risk % per trade / position sizing
Time/session filters, basic risk management
Experience building complete algos, not just single indicators
Good written English and clear communication
Able to work 30+ hours per week, with some overlap in UK time
Nice to have (big bonus)
Python for data analysis, backtesting or calling APIs
Any experience using AI/LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI) in scripts or tools
Experience with prop firm rules and risk constraints
Experience converting strategies between Pine and MT4/MT5
What I’m looking for in a person
You enjoy thinking about strategies, not just coding instructions
You’re proactive and happy to suggest improvements or ideas
You care about clean, modular code that can be reused and extended
You want a long-term relationship, not just a one-week gig
How we’ll start
Shortlisted candidates will be given a small paid test task (for example a simple EA or Pine strategy, or a small modular component).
If that goes well, we’ll move into a 1–2 month trial at 30+ hours/week.
The goal is then to continue on a long-term, ongoing basis as a core developer for our projects.
When you apply, please include:
Links or screenshots of MT4 EAs/indicators and Pine strategies you have built (with a short description of what each does).
A brief explanation of how you would design a modular framework where entries, filters, exits and risk are plug-and-play components.
Any experience you have with AI/LLM or Python-based testing/analysis.
Your hourly rate for 30+ hours/week and your timezone.
