Hi fellow traders,
I want a MT4 script created, and would like your suggestions on hiring someone for the work. Anyone you’d recommend? Anything you’d recommend that I keep in mind when hiring someone for this?
Appreciate your help with this guys! Thanks in advance!
Learn to do it yourself.
If your script is a trade system, subcontracting it makes not much sense. If you have not coded it already, you can not have tested it. If you have not tested the system, it is highly unlikely that it is profitable. Subcontracting an unprofitable system is a waste of money.
For developing a trade system you need to know how to code and test it.
Maybe just say what you want and someone might think it’s an interesting project? Either that or learn how to do it yourself if it’s not too complex involving external *.dlls or anything.
I’ve been learning about forex for less than a month but scripting mql4 has been a part of that learning process. I think that pretty much everyone who uses computers on a regular basis should have some minimal set of scripting skills, even just being able to read someone else’s script so you can check that it does what they claim it to do is a useful skill to acquire. Also, automating mundane tasks or tailoring the user interface to your individual requirements can be useful.
For example, I’ve created a small EA that allows me to set and change stop loss and take profit values by dragging horizontal lines. I find this far more convenient than squinting at the screen to work out values then opening up a window and keying in the values by hand. I’m also working on an OCO EA where I can drag and drop the long and short entry points then set up sl/tp by dragging other lines. Far more convenient than the stock interface (and mt4 has no oco functionality).
Scripting really isn’t that hard. There is a learning curve, but once you understand the basics, the skills are transferrable to many other languages and environments without much effort.
