I've spent the past few years working at the intersection of software quality and financial markets. Two fields that might seem unrelated but actually feed off the same skill set: precision, pattern recognition, and a refusal to let details slide. As a QA Engineer, I test web and mobile applications across CRM platforms, customer self-registration portals, and internal business tools. I specialize in ensuring software quality through structured test planning, thorough functional and usability testing, and effective bug tracking, using tools such as Postman and DBeaver. On the trading side, I'm a funded CFD trader (The5ers) with about five years of trading experience. I trade and build around MT5, TradingView, and MQL5, including developing my own automated trading systems. One of my recent projects is a momentum-based XAUUSD scalping EA that identifies trend direction and executes trades on Fibonacci retracement pullbacks, which I actively run and refine on live accounts. I also develop custom Pine Script indicators for candle and volatility analysis specifically because the tools I need don't exist off the shelf. What ties all of this together is the same mindset: test rigorously, trust the data, and keep refining until it's reliable. Whether it's software or a trading strategy, I care about building things that actually hold up under pressure.

I build trading systems that survive live execution — not just backtesting. 27 years of C# development. 20+ NinjaTrader 8 indicators and strategies. 10+ MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors. Python ML pipelines with walk-forward validation and ONNX deployment. PhD in Management Information Systems. Every system I deliver comes with full source code, documentation, and a walkthrough so you understand what I built and why. I'm a developer who understands trading, not a trader who learned to code. That difference matters when your strategy needs to handle partial fills, slippage on a fast NQ breakout, or a prop firm's trailing drawdown rules. WHAT I BUILD NinjaTrader 8 (NinjaScript/C#): Custom indicators (regime filters, order flow, harmonic patterns, composite dashboards), automated strategies (breakout, momentum, mean-reversion, institutional zone detection, volatility compression), advanced trade management (multi-target exits, ATR-scaled trailing, break-even, time-based exits, re-entry logic), full parameter exposure for Strategy Analyzer optimization, and data export pipelines for ML model training. MetaTrader 5 (MQL5): Expert Advisors for live and prop firm environments. Box breakout (6 versions), volatility compression straddle, Heiken Ashi exhaustion, multi-strategy EAs. Session filtering, spread guards, prop firm compliance (drawdown limits, daily loss caps, consistency rules, magic number management), and risk-based position sizing. Python ML Pipelines: XGBoost, LSTM, Transformer, and MLP models for session-type prediction, directional forecasting, and signal filtering. Walk-forward validation, SHAP explainability on every prediction, Monte Carlo stress testing (10,000 equity paths), and ONNX export for sub-millisecond inference inside NinjaTrader. Pine Script (TradingView): Multi-timeframe systems with non-repainting architecture, state-based logic, session-aware execution, and liquidity sweep / SFP detection. Cross-Platform: Strategy porting (NT8 ↔ MT5 ↔ ATAS ↔ DAS Trader ↔ Python), cross-platform signal routing across 5 simultaneous platforms, and broker API integration (Interactive Brokers TWS API, Rithmic, MetaTrader broker API). FLAGSHIP BUILD: IMBOne Cortex The most complex system in my portfolio — a quantitative trading intelligence platform I architected and built end-to-end as sole developer. WPF/.NET 9, 7 server projects, 30+ table MySQL database, SignalR real-time streaming, Redis caching layer. Core systems: real-time data engine processing 100K+ market data messages/min via Polygon WebSocket. Dark pool level detection (FINRA data, 4-tier classification). Gamma exposure engine (DIY from raw options chain data — zero vendor dependency). Pre-market scanner screening 8,000+ equities. ML pipeline with XGBoost classifiers (session-type F1=0.736, IB-direction F1=0.727), nightly automated retraining, SHAP explainability rendered in-app, and ONNX Runtime inference. 40+ engineered features. If I can build this solo, I can build what you need. SELECTED RESULTS ▸ Institutional Zone Breakout (NQ) — Sharpe 2.30, 53.9% WR, 668 trades ▸ ICT Liquidity Sweep — Sharpe 4.81, PF 1.93 ▸ Box Breakout EA (v6.5) — directional bias model, 82% AUC ▸ EURCHF ML Pipeline — walk-forward validated, mean Sharpe 4.02, all folds positive ▸ 80% Rule Debunk — 5+ years NQ data, measured 18.3% vs. claimed 80% ▸ Level Touch Probability — distance gravity model, AUC 0.78–0.85 ▸ NQ Breakout Pipeline — MBO-10 microstructure, absorption signal identification HOW I WORK Understand your strategy logic and goals before writing code Build clean, documented, configurable code — every parameter exposed Validate rigorously — walk-forward, Monte Carlo, statistical significance testing Deliver full source code + performance report + walkthrough session All client strategy code treated as confidential. NDA available. Your edge is yours. PROP FIRM EXPERIENCE: Systems designed for Tradeify, TopStepX, and similar environments. Trailing drawdown, daily loss limits, consistency rules. Risk controls enforced independently from strategy logic — the risk layer has absolute veto authority. TECH STACK: C# (27 yrs) · NinjaScript · MQL5 · Python · Pine Script · XGBoost · LSTM · SHAP · ONNX Runtime · SignalR · MySQL · Redis · Databento MBO-10 · Polygon API · Rithmic · IB TWS API · pandas · NumPy · scikit-learn PhD · 27 years C# · 17 years university teaching (I explain what I build — you'll understand your own system) · Bilingual English/Spanish · South Florida (EST) Let's build something that works in live markets, not just in backtesting.

MetaTrader 4 (MT4) Specialists Hiring FAQs

What is MetaTrader 4?

MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is a popular online trading platform for charting, technical analysis, and trade automation. Highly customizable, MT4 empowers traders to create their own technical indicators, add-ons, Expert Advisors, and trading algorithms via its own easy-to-use proprietary scripting language, MQL4. 

How do you hire an MT4 specialist?

You can source MT4 talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in an MT4 specialist.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview MT4 specialists. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of MT4 specialist you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire an MT4 specialist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced MT4 specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their MT4 services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by MT4 specialists on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $20 per hour
  • Intermediate: $50 per hour
  • Advanced: $250 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write an MT4 job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample MT4 job post titles:

  • MT4 specialist needed to script a custom indicator
  • Need help designing and implementing MT4 Expert Advisors
  • Algorithm expert needed to code custom algorithms for MT4

Project description

An effective MT4 job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From custom indicators to Expert Advisors, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain asset classes, technical indicators, or algorithms, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

MT4 specialist job responsibilities

Here are some examples of MT4 specialist job responsibilities:

  • Set up MT4
  • Design and script custom indicators and Expert Advisors for trading forex, commodities, and other assets
  • Keep algorithms up-to-date with latest market conditions

MT4 job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in an MT4 specialist. Here are some examples:

  • MT4 and MQL4 scripting language
  • Technical analysis
  • Trading strategies and algorithms
