I would liked to you to turn a current trading script into a system that sends orders to the simulation (backtesting) /broker so i could backtest and trade it using Sierracharts ([login to view URL], you should register for a free trail. they have lots of demo inside + well documented + good forum). the final project should be able to send orders to a broker (IB preferred) and complete a backtetsing I will need the following: 1. buy/sell X # (parameter) mkt/limit orders (mkt/limit should be a parameter + we send a stop order only if we are filled) 1.1. based on the scripts logic it's going long (short) only if it breaks the high (low) of the prior bar. i would like to add a filter: don't enter if the break of previous bar's high/low is on volume which is less than "X" (20 for dax and 1000 for es for example) 1.2. buy/sell below (if enabled) the entry level (which is the mkt order) so if the first trade was mkt at the trigger price i would like to buy more at the entry -2 points and than buy more at the entry price - 4 points as long as it's not <= the stop price (if the first trade was executed at the trigger price i would like to buy more at the entry - 2 points and than buy more at the entry price - 4 points as long as it's not <= the stop price). 2. sell % of position on multiply targets 2.1 sell X% of position @ target #1 at execution + X ticks (defined in the setup screen) 2.2 sell Z% of position @ target #2 at execution + 2X ticks (defined in the setup screen) 2.3 sell y% of position @ target #3 (if enabled, else only targets 1+2) is a trailing for the low of the prior bar (target 2 and target 3 should be set in the "settings tab" and their values should be in % of the stop and on negative. so target 2 will be 25% off the first entry ((entry minus stop)*0.25) and target 3 will be ((entry minus stop)*0.4)) 2.4 update targets upon avg execution price 2.5 when target 1 is filled (and we where filled) than raise stop to a. entry price or b. POC of bar - (minus) 1 tick 3. send stop mkt for all position as defined in the script as a bracket 3.1 if buying below entry price than update the amount of contracts in the stop 3.2 adding an option to locate the stop below/above the POC of the bar based on if i am on long/short 3.3 adding an option for stop and reverse. if i was stopped than sell as twice as the amount i had and use same 1/2/3 targets but to the other side. stop will be original entry 4. adding start/end time for trading (i don't want to trade overnight etc.) 5. detailed logging to txt file (the file will have a header of all the settings used for that day and than every tradfe will have the following fildes: asset,date,time,trade#,sub order #,entry,avg entry,exit, exit time, time in market, exit based on stop/t.p., POC price) 6. all orders are OCO

1. I am not acquainted to the Sierracharts. NEED time to get the idea. 2. Final project should be able to send orders to a broker (IB preferred)? Is the API there for IB? 3. Do you want the backtesting in Sierracharts or outside? 4. POC and OCO? full form please. Rest well defined criteria set by you, can be implemented and we can discuss during time. thanks.

Hi, I just have a few quick questions to clear up some unclear points in your job specs. 1) Do you want someone to code a system to trade and backtest on mt4, or sierra charts? 2) will the source file of the script be available to me, or do I code according to your project specs? I have over a decade of experience coding trading systems, with the last 7 focused mainly on mql4 for the mt4 platform. Thanks for considering me. Cheers, Shi Jun
