utomated Futures Trading Strategy Developer — Sierra Chart (ACSIL) or NinjaTrader (NinjaScript)

Title: Automated Futures Trading Strategy Developer — Sierra Chart (ACSIL) or NinjaTrader (NinjaScript) I'm looking for an experienced developer to build a custom automated intraday trading strategy for futures markets (ES/MES, with architecture designed to later support NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL and their micro equivalents). Platform: Sierra Chart (ACSIL / C++) preferred, but open to NinjaTrader 8 (NinjaScript / C#) if you specialize there instead. Please tell me which platform(s) you have production experience with — I'm not expecting deep expertise in both. Strategy overview: - Trend/bias filter using 5-minute VWAP (long bias above VWAP, short bias below) - Entry signal: 1-minute Bollinger Bands (20, 2) — directional crossover of the middle band, first crossover only (no repeat signals until price resets) - Configurable stop-loss, trailing stop, trail activation, optional break-even - One position at a time - Full risk management layer: daily profit target, daily loss limit, kill switch, max trades/day, max consecutive losses, auto-disable after daily objective is hit - Dashboard/config panel so parameters (stop, trail, daily limits, session hours, enable/disable filters) are editable without recompiling - Notifications for trade opened/closed, daily target/loss reached, connection lost, order rejected (email at minimum; Discord/webhook a plus) - Designed to run reliably on a VPS (connection monitoring, reconnect handling, error logging) Deliverables: - F To quote, please include: 1. Which platforull working strategy code, ready to compile/run - Documented, configurable inputs (not hardcoded values) - Brief guidance on backtesting/replay so I can validate performance myself m(s) you have real production experience with (Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, or both) 2. Examples of similar strategies or studies you've built (code sample or portfolio link appreciated) 3. Estimated cost and timeline for this scope 4. Whether you offer fixed-price or hourly, and your rate 5. Your experience with backtesting/out-of-sample validation (I want this properly tested, not just curve-fit) Serious inquiries only — happy to answer questions before you quote.
