Job Description
Algo trading devs required- two.
About me:
I am a Quants trader (not a dev)
I've solved market mechanics to a T.
Strat based on objective concepts, market mechanics & pure price.
(Structure/orderflow, Imbalance, liquidity etc
As opposed to rationalistic concepts- for eg RSI divergence.
No indicators used in strat)
It is a multi TF, multi variable strat-
Everything is rule based- To be plot on chart.
Except the probability of entry point/area of giving the desired outcome- That has to be calculated- by building probability calculation engine (on backtest data)
with multiple variables, with diff variables having diff weightage and variables not being binary- ie it can have 3-4 probability classes.
ie Statistical modeling.
ML might also be needed.
Algo expectancy ~ 1R or higher.
This is NOT a HFT or arbitrage etc strat. It's MFT.
Trading platform agnostic algo to be made-
Language- Python, Testing- (This is on the dev; mine is just a suggestion- if any other platform is better, can work on that)
The algo then has to be integrated to any execution platform- for eg: MT5, Kite, Tradingview, ctrader or anything else.
Built in two parts-
1st- Chart marking/plotting based on pure price/candles on multi TF (not easy- but rule based).
2nd- Prob calc/stat modeling on BT data (multi variable, even the weights of diff. variables/concepts have to be figured out- not easy either)
Algo trading dev req:
- who has worked with pure price action (rather than indicators)
- Understands expectancy- ie a function of risk:reward ratio & win rate.
- who is curious about market mechanics.
- who can convert the explained concept into - actual hard codable rules.
- Statistical modeling, ML know how.
- for whom this work is fun.
- has integrity - cause IP protection is imp.
All in all I don't want just another coding monkey- but a dev with first hand experience, interest and enthusiasm for this.
In person work only- on air gapped PCs.
No remote work.
Location - Mumbai.
Per month pay - 2 lakh inr.
Pure in hand pay- no other anything.
Estimated time for completion of project- 1 year.
I don't have a pvt ltd registered.
So hiring won't be "employee" status but a contractual one. (C2H)
Sole proprietorship is registered.
Name- R-Quants.
Paychecks will come through it.
All IP & algo belongs to it/me.
NDA req.
**This below part is purely future incentive - (C2H)
The dev(s) can be retained (Not a promise/contract- this is at my discretion) for optimization, expansion etc.
Company- A Hedge fund- can be registered after algo completion.
Salary, equity/options can be discussed then. Not before.
