Project Overview: I am looking for an experienced TradeStation Desktop developer to build a custom trading workspace designed for disciplined, rules‑based trading of low‑priced, low‑float, high‑volume momentum stocks. This project does not require locking down or restricting TradeStation features (which the platform does not support). Instead, the goal is to create a guided, guardrail‑based environment that makes rule‑compliant trading easy, visual, and consistent. Deliverables Needed “Deliverables must be implemented identically in both SIM and LIVE environments.” 1. Custom TradeStation Workspace Layout A clean, minimal, distraction‑free workspace containing: A. Scanner Panel (RadarScreen) • Price filter: stocks ≤ $10 • Volume filter: high volume • RVOL filter: expanding relative volume • Columns needed: • Last price • Volume • RVOL • Float (if available) • Breakout signal (custom) • Pullback signal (custom) • R/R ratio (custom) B. Chart Panel (3‑Chart Layout) 1. 1‑minute chart • RVOL indicator • Breakout indicator • Pullback marker • Auto‑plotted stop (5%) • Auto‑plotted target (10%) 2. 5‑minute chart • Trend confirmation • Breakout levels • Volume expansion 3. Daily chart • Key levels • Float/market cap display • Long‑term trend C. Order Entry Panel • Order template with automatic 5% stop‑loss • Profit target line at 10% • Position size calculator (based on fixed risk and 5% stop) • OCO bracket template D. Position Counter Panel • Custom indicator or panel showing: • AM trades used (0–3) • PM trades used (0–3) • Total trades remaining • Alerts when limits are reached 2. Custom Indicators & Tools (EasyLanguage) A. RVOL Indicator • Real‑time RVOL • Color‑coded when expanding • Threshold adjustable B. Breakout Detector • Identifies breakout candles • Alerts when breakout occurs • Plots breakout level C. First Pullback Detector • Identifies first pullback after breakout • Plots entry zone • Alerts when valid pullback forms D. R/R Calculator • Calculates R/R based on: • Entry price • 5% stop • 10% target • Displays R/R on chart • Alerts if R/R < 2:1 E. Position Counter • Tracks AM and PM trades • Resets at: • Market open • 12:30 PM • Alerts when limits reached 3. Automated Risk Templates • Auto‑apply 5% stop on every entry • Auto‑apply 10% target (or display target line) • OCO bracket • Position size calculator based on fixed risk 4. Alerts & Guardrails (Not platform‑enforced blocks — visual and alert‑based guidance.) • Alert if stock > $10 • Alert if RVOL not expanding • Alert if breakout not confirmed • Alert if pullback not valid • Alert if R/R < 2:1 • Alert if daily trade limit reached 5. Documentation A short guide explaining: • How the workspace is structured • How to use the scanners • How to interpret the indicators • How to use the order templates • How the position counter works Ideal Developer • Strong TradeStation Desktop experience • EasyLanguage proficiency • Experience building scanners, indicators, and workspace layouts • Understanding of momentum trading and risk management Please provide examples of similar TradeStation work.

Hello, I understand you’re looking for a TradeStation Desktop developer to build a disciplined, rules-based trading workspace that guides momentum trading without restricting platform functionality. I have strong hands-on experience with TradeStation, EasyLanguage, and custom workspace design, delivering clean, minimal environments that reinforce risk management and execution consistency across both SIM and LIVE accounts. My approach is to implement a unified workspace combining RadarScreen scanners, multi-timeframe charts, automated risk visuals, and alert-driven guardrails. This includes real-time RVOL analysis, breakout and first-pullback detection, dynamic R/R calculations, and clearly plotted 5% stops with 10% targets. I also build position sizing logic and OCO bracket templates that align precisely with predefined risk rules, ensuring every trade visually confirms compliance before execution. Trade counters, time-based resets, and threshold alerts are implemented as lightweight indicators for reliability and clarity. All components are coded in EasyLanguage, optimized for performance, and documented clearly for long-term maintenance. The result is a focused, professional trading environment designed to reduce mistakes and enforce discipline through structure, visuals, and alerts rather than hard restrictions. Thanks, Asif

You want TradeStation to enforce discipline at the platform level, so only rule-compliant trades are even possible during live sessions. The real risk is partial enforcement, where alerts exist but orders still slip through under speed or emotion. I focus on locking scanners, order templates, and session limits together, because isolated rules fail under pressure. In practice this means hard filters for price, volume, and RVOL, guarded entry logic for breakout and first pullback, and mandatory 5% stops with visible 10% targets. I have taken paid responsibility for configuring TradeStation workspaces where position limits and auto-stops had to block discretionary overrides. Before handoff I validate that R/R checks, AM and PM counters, and order blocking behave correctly in live and simulated trading. If options versus equities handling differs in your account, that assumption should be aligned before final locking.

Hello, I will configure your TradeStation Desktop as a locked-down guardrail system that enforces the Trading Plan: scanner filter (≤ $10), real-time RVOL expansion filter, breakout + first-pullback alerts, auto 5% stop-loss placement at entry, visible 10% profit targets, pre-trade R/R calculator that blocks orders <2:1, position-size calculator (based on account risk & 5% SL), and AM/PM session counters that lock entries at 3 each. I’ll deliver a custom workspace, EasyLanguage indicators/scripts, order templates with enforced stops, scanner rules, visual pullback markers, and an installation/testing log. To start I need TradeStation access type (paper or live), permission to create scripts/workspace, and your account size or per-trade risk setting for sizing. I will implement and test in a sandbox then deploy to your account within the timeline below. Do you want implementation tested first in a paper account or deployed directly to your live TradeStation account, and can you provide the trading account size (or preferred risk per trade) to set position-sizing?
