been building trading bots for a while and got tired of strategies that look good on a chart and die live. so i ran 13 common setups through 2 years of data with real costs.

10 failed. the 3 that held up:
gold pullback after the opening range, profit factor 1.52
gold afternoon trend, profit factor 1.40
nasdaq prior day breakout, profit factor 1.46

biggest lesson: most "high win rate" setups lost money once you add slippage and fees. the ones that survived win around half the time but make more on wins than they lose.

happy to answer questions on how i tested them

I'm a solo developer. I build trading bots, and I run my own live on futures, so this isn't theoretical work for me.

What I do

Install my strategy on your account, $200. VWAP mean reversion with an ADX regime filter, running on gold and Nasdaq futures. I set it up on your account, configure the sizing for your risk, and make sure it's executing correctly before I hand it off. $100 for each additional account after the first, so if you're running multiple prop firm evals it scales cheap.

Custom build from your rules, $750. You have a strategy you trade by hand and want automated. I write it, test it, and deploy it. This includes the entry and exit logic, position sizing, session filters, and whatever risk rules your prop firm enforces.

Signal alerts, $50 a month. You get my entries and exits in real time and place them yourself. For people on firms that don't allow automation.

Platforms I work with

TradersPost, CrossTrade, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader 4 and 5, TradeLocker, Interactive Brokers. Futures, forex, and CFDs. I've set up on Topstep, Apex, Lucid, FTMO, Funding Pips, and Take Profit Trader accounts, so I know which ones ban bots and which ones don't before you waste money finding out.

Stack

Python for the futures side, MQL5 for MetaTrader. Webhook execution through TradersPost or CrossTrade, or a direct API connection where the broker supports it.

Why me over a fiverr gig

I trade the thing I sell. That means I've found the problems you only find live, not in a backtest. As one example, I spent yesterday tracing why a client's stops weren't behaving and found the webhook payload was silently dropping my stop loss and substituting the platform's default. That kind of bug never shows up in a backtest and it's invisible unless you're reading fills against your own orders. I check for it now on every build.

I also tell you when automation is the wrong answer for your situation, which happens more than you'd think.

Turnaround

Installs are same day or next day. Custom builds depend on the strategy, usually a few days.
