Testing & Backtesting: Backtest the strategy against historical data and run paper trading simulations prior to live execution.

Required Qualifications Proven track record building automated trading systems / bots. Proficiency in [Python / C++ / Pine Script / Node.js / MQL4/MQL5]. Experience working with exchange APIs, WebSockets, and handling rate limits. Strong background in financial data handling, order execution types (market, limit, stop-limit), and risk management logic. Ability to deliver clean, modular, and well-documented code.
