Job Description

Quants dev required to build a Trading algo- long term association- You will be getting in on the ground floor.


Pure startup: Only two devs.


About me:

I am a Quants analyst/trader (not a dev)

I've solved market mechanics to a T.


Algo trading dev req:

  • who has worked with pure price (rather than indicators)
  • ML, stat modeling know how.
  • Understands expectancy- ie a function of risk:reward ratio & win rate.
  • who is curious about market mechanics.
  • who can convert the explained concepts into - actual hard codable rules.
  • for whom this work is fun.
  • Most imp: has integrity - cause IP protection is paramount.

All in all I don't want just another coding monkey or worse- a prompt engineer or a vibe coder- but a nerd Quants dev with first hand experience, interest and enthusiasm for this.


Strat based on objective concepts, market mechanics & pure price.

(Orderflow, 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 & Machine learning.


Algo expectancy ~ 1R or higher.


This is NOT a HFT or arbitrage etc strat. It's MFT. Even can be LFT.


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/ML on BT data (multi variable, even the weights of diff. variables/concepts have to be figured out- not easy either)


In person work only- on DLP protocol enabled PCs.

No remote.

Location - Mumbai, Dadar.

Pure in hand pay per month.

Estimated time for completion of project- less than equal to- 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 expansion, optimization etc.

Company- A Hedge fund- will be registered after algo completion.

Incentives will be discussed then.
