AI Trading Engineer / Algorithmic Trading Developer for Automated Financial Markets System I am looking for a highly experienced developer and potentially a long-term technical partner to help me build and continuously improve an AI-powered automated trading system for financial markets. The system should be designed to analyze and trade different financial markets, including stocks, commodities, indices, Forex and potentially other asset classes. Silver (XAG/USD) is one of the markets I am particularly interested in, but it is not limited to silver. The goal is to turn my own trading ideas and strategies into a professional, scalable and automated system that can analyze market data, identify potential opportunities, manage risk and, after extensive testing, potentially execute trades automatically. I am looking for someone with strong knowledge in: Financial markets and trading Algorithmic and quantitative trading Technical analysis and market data Risk and money management Python and software development APIs and broker integrations AI/LLMs and AI-assisted development Backtesting and strategy optimization Cloud infrastructure and automated systems The project may include: Development of an AI-powered trading platform Automated analysis of stocks, commodities, indices, Forex and other markets Implementation of my own trading ideas and strategies Development and testing of algorithmic trading strategies AI-assisted market analysis Real-time market data processing Historical data analysis and backtesting Risk management and position sizing Automated stop-loss and take-profit systems Broker/API integrations Automated order execution Portfolio management Trade monitoring and logging Dashboard for monitoring the system Cloud deployment and reliable 24/7 operation Modular architecture so that new markets and strategies can easily be added I am not looking for someone to simply install an existing trading bot or copy an existing strategy. I want to build a custom system based on my ideas, with the developer contributing their own technical and financial expertise to improve the concept. I can provide the necessary software, AI tools, cloud infrastructure and premium subscriptions required for development. This may include access to premium AI coding environments such as Claude Code or comparable AI development tools, as well as other software, APIs and services required for the project. I am particularly interested in someone who understands AI-assisted and agentic software development and knows how to use modern AI coding tools effectively to build, test, debug and improve complex software systems. I am looking for someone who thinks independently, understands financial markets, challenges ideas when necessary, proposes solutions and can turn concepts into reliable software. This is intended to become a long-term collaboration. The goal is not simply to build one trading strategy, but potentially to develop a complete trading system that can continuously evolve and support multiple markets and strategies. Please include in your application: Your experience with algorithmic or automated trading. Examples of trading systems, bots or financial software you have developed. Your experience with stocks, commodities, indices, Forex, futures, CFDs or other financial markets. Your experience with Python, APIs, databases and cloud infrastructure. Your experience with AI/LLMs and AI coding tools. Examples of previous projects, GitHub or portfolio, if available. Which brokers, exchanges and trading APIs you have worked with. Your hourly rate or estimated project cost. Whether you are interested in a long-term collaboration. Important: The system will initially be developed and tested exclusively in a paper-trading/simulation environment. Real-money trading would only be considered after extensive backtesting, validation and technical testing. I am looking for someone who can become a technical and strategic partner for this project, rather than simply a developer who follows instructions.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you're looking to develop an AI-driven automated trading system aimed at navigating financial markets with minimal human input. The real challenge here is ensuring reliability and scalability. Automated trading systems must handle large data volumes and execute trades flawlessly. What usually matters most is integrating real-time data feeds and adapting algorithms to market changes. The tricky part is managing workflow complexities, especially in maintaining performance and minimizing latency. My approach would focus on building a robust architecture that allows for easy updates and maintenance. I would emphasize clear API integrations and employ machine learning models that can evolve with new data, ensuring stability and adaptability. I’ve worked on similar systems integrating real-time data and automation logic, ensuring smooth operations under high load. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific data sources do you plan to use for trading signals? Q2 – Are there particular user roles or permissions needed for different stakeholders? Q3 – How do you envision handling trade execution failures or market anomalies? Happy to discuss the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, Most algorithmic trading projects fail not from bad strategy logic, but from architecture that can't survive contact with live market conditions — slippage, API latency, data gaps. Building for paper-trading validation first, as you've outlined, is the right discipline, and it's how I'd structure this from day one. My approach: Modular architecture: Core engine decoupled from strategy logic and asset class, so adding new markets (silver, Forex, indices) later doesn't mean rebuilding the system — just plugging in new data feeds and rules. Data & backtesting: Robust historical data pipeline with realistic backtesting (accounting for spread, slippage, execution delay) so results aren't misleadingly optimistic. Risk management first: Position sizing, stop-loss/take-profit automation, and portfolio-level risk controls built in before any execution logic — non-negotiable for a system with future live-trading intent. AI-assisted development: I use Claude Code and similar tools deliberately — scoping context, reviewing every generated component against financial logic correctness, not accepting output blindly. Critical when a bug means a bad trade, not just a UI glitch. I bring Python, cloud deployment, and quantitative trading experience, and I'm genuinely interested in long-term technical partnership — challenging assumptions, not just executing instructions. Happy to share relevant experience and discuss your specific strategy ideas.

Hello!, I am a US-based senior software engineer(frontend, backend, ecommerce, etc) and I read your project description carefully. This is a serious AI-driven trading system, and I understand the goal is to build something automated, practical, and reliable for financial markets. I have about 15 years of experience with Python, API development/integration, machine learning, cloud systems, data analysis, and automation, including trading workflows and market-data pipelines. I focus on systems that can ingest data, make decisions, execute safely, and stay maintainable over time. My approach would be: 1) clarify strategy rules, markets, and risk controls 2) design the data flow and execution architecture 3) build and test the model + automation layer 4) add monitoring, logging, and fail-safes 5) deploy in a cloud environment with clean handoff Relevant work includes algorithmic systems and automation platforms like a Schwab-based trading assistant, an AI alert engine for market signals, and Python data pipelines for time-sensitive decision systems. Could you please clarify the following questions to help me better understand the project? 1) Which markets and broker/exchange should this support first? 2) Do you already have a strategy, or should I help define and test one? 3) What risk controls are required, such as max drawdown or trade limits? If you want someone who pays attention to the details and builds this the right way, I’m a strong fit.

Hi, I can build this as a modular Python trading system starting with paper trading and backtesting before any live execution. My strength is building custom AI/data pipelines, API integrations, automation, and production backend systems—not installing an off-the-shelf trading bot. I can structure the system around market-data ingestion, strategy modules, AI-assisted analysis, backtesting, risk/position sizing, paper orders, logging, and performance evaluation. The architecture can support XAG/USD first, then expand to Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and additional strategies without rewriting the core system. I would keep strategy logic separate from execution and risk controls, with full historical testing and reproducible results before considering live trading. I’m interested in the long-term collaboration and can start by reviewing your trading ideas and designing the first paper-trading prototype.

Hi, I can help turn your trading ideas into a modular research and paper-trading platform rather than a black-box bot. The first priority should be proving strategy logic under realistic conditions before adding autonomous execution or AI complexity. I’d recommend Python with pandas/Polars, NumPy, PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, FastAPI, Docker, and broker adapters behind a common interface. The architecture would separate market data, features, strategy signals, portfolio/risk, execution simulation, monitoring, and reporting so markets such as XAG/USD, Forex, indices, and equities can be added without rewriting the core. Backtesting would account for spread, commission, slippage, latency, trading sessions, missing data, contract specifications, and look-ahead/survivorship bias. Results would include walk-forward and out-of-sample testing, drawdown, exposure, turnover, and scenario stress tests—not only headline returns. Risk controls would remain deterministic: position limits, percentage risk, stop logic, daily loss limits, stale-data checks, duplicate-order prevention, and emergency shutdown. LLMs can support research, explanations, log analysis, and strategy review, but should not directly place trades or override controls. Development would proceed through reproducible research, event-driven paper trading, broker sandbox integration, monitoring, and only then a separately approved live-readiness review.

Entwicklung eines maßgeschneiderten, KI-gestützten Automated-Trading-Systems für mehrere Assetklassen (u. a. XAG/USD). Fokus auf eine modulare Architektur für Dateningestion, Feature-Engineering, modellbasierte Signalgenerierung, striktes Risk/Position-Sizing, sowie reproduzierbares Backtesting inkl. Walk-Forward-Validation und robustem Logging. Ich setze auf Python-orientierte, testbare Softwarestrukturen: ETL für Live-/Historien-Daten, Strategy-Engine, Execution-Layer mit Broker-/API-Abstraktion, Order-Management (Stop/TP), Portfolio- und Monitoring-Komponenten. Für KI/LLMs nutze ich sie gezielt als AI-assisted/agentic Entwicklungs- und Analysehilfe (z. B. Hypothesen-Iteration, Code-Refactoring, Tooling), nicht als Blackbox für Trading-Entscheidungen. Das System wird zunächst ausschließlich in Paper-Trading/Simulation betrieben: deterministische Replays, Metriken für Drawdown/Sharpe/Hit-Rate, Alarmierung und Fehlerrobustheit für 24/7-Betrieb. Ziel ist eine langfristige technische Partnerschaft mit klarer Qualitäts- und Validierungsdisziplin.

Hi, I am interested in becoming a long-term technical partner for your AI-powered trading platform, not simply delivering a predefined bot. My experience covers Python, quantitative data pipelines, strategy engines, backtesting, broker/API integrations, PostgreSQL, real-time processing, cloud deployment, and AI/LLM-assisted systems. I would structure this as a modular platform separating market data, signals, risk management, execution, portfolio state, monitoring, and strategy modules so additional markets can be introduced cleanly. I agree strongly with starting in paper trading. Each strategy should be validated against historical and out-of-sample data, transaction costs, slippage, drawdown, and risk limits before automated execution is considered. I can also use modern AI coding workflows effectively while keeping trading decisions, testing, and risk controls deterministic where reliability matters. I am available for ongoing development as the platform evolves. Best, Justin

Your backtesting framework will fail if you don't account for slippage and latency in live execution - most paper-trading results break down when real order flow hits the market. Quick questions - what's your target latency requirement for order execution across multiple asset classes? And are you planning to run this on a single cloud region or do you need multi-region failover for 24/7 uptime? Here's the architectural approach: - PYTHON + ML: Build modular strategy engine with scikit-learn/TensorFlow for pattern recognition, separate backtesting from live execution to prevent look-ahead bias. - API INTEGRATION: Connect to Interactive Brokers TWS API and Alpaca for multi-asset support, implement rate-limit handling and WebSocket streams for real-time data. - CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE: Deploy on AWS with Lambda for event-driven order execution, RDS for trade logs, CloudWatch for monitoring, auto-scaling to handle market volatility spikes. I've built 2 algorithmic trading systems for hedge funds that processed $50M+ in daily volume without downtime. Let's schedule a technical call to map out your risk parameters and broker requirements before we architect the data pipeline.

This project is a strong fit for a phased, paper-trading-first build rather than installing a generic bot. I would turn your trading ideas into a modular Python system with separate market-data, signal, risk, portfolio, execution-simulation and reporting layers, making it easy to add XAG/USD, Forex, indices, stocks and other instruments later. For the first phase, I would use Python with pandas/NumPy for data analysis, a FastAPI service for orchestration, PostgreSQL for trades and market data, and Docker for reproducible deployment. The system would support historical data ingestion, configurable strategies, realistic backtesting, position sizing, stop-loss/take-profit rules, spread/slippage assumptions, paper orders, trade logs and performance metrics. A lightweight monitoring dashboard can show signals, open positions, equity curve and risk exposure. Broker integration would be added behind an adapter layer so APIs can be changed without rewriting strategies. My background includes 10+ years in software development and 249+ delivered projects across Python, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, automation and AI/LLM systems. I work with AWS/Azure, REST/WebSocket integrations, Docker and agentic tools such as Claude-style coding workflows for rapid implementation, testing and debugging. Muhammad Saad

Hi there, Your focus on XAG/USD and the integration of agentic AI workflows (like Claude Code) for a custom algorithmic trading system is exactly the kind of high-level architecture I specialize in. I am a Senior Developer with deep expertise in Python, AI integrations, and building robust, automated systems. I completely agree with your philosophy: no generic bots, paper-trading first, and a modular architecture. Here is how I envision our approach: 1. Architecture & Backtesting: Building a Python-based modular quantitative engine (utilizing libraries like vectorbt pro or backtrader). We will ensure walk-forward optimization to avoid curve-fitting before moving to the simulation environment. 2. AI & Agentic Development: I am highly proficient in agentic coding environments (Claude 3.5 / Cursor / GPT-4o). I leverage these not just for writing clean, modular code faster, but also for implementing LLM-based sentiment analysis and dynamic parameter tuning within the trading logic itself. 3. Broker & Cloud Infrastructure: Connecting to reliable APIs (e.g., Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, or MetaTrader REST/WebSocket APIs) for real-time data and execution. The entire system will be containerized (Docker) and deployed on AWS/DigitalOcean for robust 24/7 operation. 4. Risk Management: Strict, hard-coded rules for dynamic position sizing, daily drawdown limits, and circuit breakers, entirely separate from the signal generation logic. I am looking for a long-term partnership where I can contribute technically and strategically to evolve your ideas into a scalable quantitative fund-grade system. Two quick questions for you: What timeframe (e.g., tick-level, 1H, Daily) do your initial XAG/USD strategies primarily operate on? Do you have a preferred broker in mind for the initial paper-trading phase, or should I recommend one based on the API quality? Let’s hop on a quick call to discuss the technical roadmap. Best regards,

Hi! This is something we can definitely help build. Before we go further, a couple of things that would really shape how we'd approach this: Do you already have defined strategies you want to implement, or is part of the work figuring out what actually works through backtesting and iteration? And which broker or data provider are you thinking of using — that affects the integration complexity significantly. We'd build this in Python, modular from the start so new markets and strategies can be dropped in without rearchitecting. For the AI layer, we'd use LLMs to assist with signal analysis or strategy refinement rather than as a black box making trade decisions — which tends to be more reliable and auditable. Cloud deployment with a monitoring dashboard would be part of the setup. One honest note: the budget listed is quite tight for the full scope you described. Happy to start with a well-defined first module — say, backtesting engine + one strategy + paper trading integration — and grow from there. That's usually a smarter way to build something like this anyway. Would love to dig into the details and figure out a solid starting point together. Gustavo & the DoTheCode team

Custom AI trading systems fail on a specific pattern — devs build the flashy signal generator first, then discover 90% of the real work is execution reliability, order state machines, and slippage/fee accounting. Anyone selling "AI first, execution later" is skipping the boring layer that decides whether the system makes money in practice. Direct answers: Algo trading: past broker/API integration (REST + WebSocket, order lifecycle). Not a quant-fund background, but the systems engineering side — order management, reconciliation, execution — is native ground. Financial software: real-time pricing + event pipelines at Marin Software (event-driven at scale, similar shape to broker data ingestion).Markets/APIs: US equities via Polygon, FX via OANDA (paper), Alpaca, IBKR TWS, Kite Connect in prior scope. XAG/USD not directly, but commodity spot flows are the same shape. Python + cloud: 9 years — FastAPI, Celery, Postgres/TimescaleDB (right choice for tick data), Redis, Docker + K8s, AWS/GCP. AI/LLMs + AI coding tools: LangChain agentic pipelines at Marin Software. Claude Code + Cursor daily as primary dev tools — fits your workflow if you're providing them. Rate: €40-60/hr for senior full-stack + trading systems work. Long-term: yes — paper-trade first, iterate on your strategies, add markets over time is exactly the right posture. Short-term "build me a bot" contracts collapse.

Multi-market trading systems usually fail first at data alignment, execution realism, and risk isolation. I’d begin with one paper-traded strategy and market—likely XAG/USD—then build an event-driven Python core around it. Backtests would account for spreads, slippage, commissions, session gaps, and look-ahead bias before the same strategy interface touches live data or a broker sandbox. AI can assist research and development, but deterministic risk limits and order validation should remain outside the model. From there, the platform can expand through modular data, strategy, execution, portfolio, logging, and monitoring components. I’m open to a long-term partnership and would scope cost after the initial strategy and integration boundaries are clear. Which broker/API and historical data source are you considering for the first paper-trading phase?
