Trading Bot Developer — Automated Strategies That Run Without You

A trading bot is more than an EA: it's the whole execution loop — signal source, order routing, risk gates, state recovery, logging, and a machine that stays up. We build the complete system, not just the strategy file.

Overview

What this service actually involves

Most bots we build read signals from MetaTrader/CopyFX bridges, TradingView alerts via WebHook, cTrader algo APIs, or Python strategy engines. Whichever stack the signal lives in, the execution and risk layer is engineered to the same standard: idempotent orders, recoverable state, and logs that answer 'why did it do that?' without guesswork.

Run it wrong and automation just loses money faster. Every bot ships with kill-switches: max daily loss, equity stop, spread guard, and a panic-flatten command.

Scope

What we build

Concrete deliverables, not a capability list. Every item below is scoped in writing before a fixed quote is issued.

TradingView → broker execution bots

Pine Script strategies fire alerts; a lightweight listener validates and routes orders to MT5, cTrader, or FIX/broker APIs with dedupe and replay protection.

MetaTrader EAs as 24/7 bots

Full-lifecycle automation on MT4/MT5 including VPS deployment, auto-restart, drift detection between positions and intended state, and Telegram status/danger reporting.

cTrader / .NET algo bots

cBots in C# on the cTrader Automate API — strong typing, backtesting, and live execution for CFD and forex venues.

Python strategy bridges

Python engines (backtesting.py, vectorbt, custom ML models) executing through the MetaTrader 5 Python API with order-manager safety in the EA layer.

Operations & monitoring

VPS setup, watchdog restarts, fill-vs-signal latency tracking, heartbeat alerts to Telegram/email, and daily summary reports — the boring parts that keep bots alive.

TradingView alert-driven MT5 bot

MT5 + Pine · fixed quote · 2 weeks

Client's Pine Script strategy emits JSON alerts; a listener validates signature, dedupes, and routes to an MT5 bridge EA with per-strategy slots, risk caps, and Telegram fill reports. Includes VPS install and runbook.

Grid bot with equity-aware sizing

MT5 · fixed quote · 10 days

Grid entries with ATR-scaled spacing, equity-curve position sizing, and a hard basket stop plus take-profit. Delivered with optimizer-ready inputs and a backtest protocol on real tick data.

Copy-trading execution bridge

MT5 → MT5 · fixed quote · 2–3 weeks

Low-latency copier with proportional lot mapping, symbol normalization, slippage bounds, and per-follower risk overrides — leader runs normal, followers' risk rules stay local.

See it work

What it prints to the terminal

A replay of one session's log — the gate decisions, the order build, retcodes, a requote, and a terminal reconnect that rebuilds state from the open ticket. The failure paths are the point.

A replay of what the EA writes to the terminal — gate checks, sizing arithmetic, retcodes, and the failure paths. Fixed script, not a price feed or a simulated result.

Pricing guidance

Typical project ranges

How budgets map to scope on this service. Your exact fixed quote arrives in writing after a scoping conversation — the numbers below are directional ranges, not promises.

ScopeTypical range (USD)Delivery
Single-platform bot (MT5 or cTrader)$700 – $1,8001–2 weeks
TradingView / webhook / Python bridge bot$1,500 – $3,5002–4 weeks
Copy-trading or multi-venue system$2,500 – $5,000+3–6 weeks

Trading bot projects typically run $700 to $5,000 depending on platforms bridged, execution complexity, and monitoring requirements. A single-platform bot with fixed logic is at the low end; multi-venue bridges with custom infrastructure sit higher. Fixed quote before work starts.
