Commercial High Frequency Trading system [C++, MQL + MySQL]


Problem:  Client needed a full overhall of an HFT system to achieve faster trade execution speeds to capture more edge and less slippage under high volatility market conditions.


Solution: Wrote DLLs using C++ to perform algorithmic calculations and pre-execution data to allow sub 3ms server side trade execution. The main bottleneck just happened to be MetaTrader 4 cannot conduct use multi-threading, this solution circumvents that issue by performing the calculations simultaneously outside the MT4 terminal.


Outcome:  Achieved sub 3ms trade execution, which is a significant change from 40ms as of previously. Developed a low latency tick-only charting algorithm for client side visuals (as seen in screenshot)

Data modeling application for trade account management [Python 3.2 + FastAPI + SMTP]


Problem:  Client needed a user friendly application that sends alerts via email and a GUI that has graphing elements that can fluidly display a multitude of data points and metrics.


Solution: Wrote a comprehensive application that uses primarily matlib to reliably display all the specified metrics and data.

Made use of Qt library and matplotlib to chart data, and FastAPI integration to fetch server side account data to retrive values such as Running PNLs, open trade postions, trade history etc.


Outcome:  Achieved real time updating chart functions in the external application to help the client maintain up to 100 trade accounts using a heat map. Also the program can send real time custom alerts / notifications directly to email using SMTP.

How Trial / Demo Copies work

A demo copy is available for most of our paid pre-built models / software.

For auto traders and Indicators, the trial only runs in testing enviroments through an a time-based restriction, usually the first of current month.

To enable maximum freedom to test our software outside the Strategy enviroment all our software can be applied to chart but trading cannot be enabled on trial copies.

Our Algo trading systems are premium software and are priced as such, strategies I code for fun / available on the net are provided for free with a $0 download link.

Volatility 75 High Frequency Trading system [C++, MQL]


Strategy: This is a rudementary psuedo HFT system. The underlying algorithm identifies the average fair value price of the Volatility 75 Deriv.com synthetic index.


Synopsis: The initial idea behind this strategy was an attempt to reverse-engineer the price of the instrument. Because it is synthetic, it is technically possible to reverse engineer the price. I just so happened to not quite make it that far, but the results say the system is close enough to be absurdly profitable (during low spread / high volaitility periods)


Features & Inputs: [See images for screenshot OR watch backtest]


A non Volatility 75 Index version of this EA is also available, with less strict controls and a wider trade holding period. Compatible with high volatility pairs like Gold USD and US30. The algorithm that simulates price MinMax M1 price closes is present but does not produce EV as high as this V75 specific version as real markets are significantly more random than this sythetic instrument.


Tester Results: Running the EA in a live account has the disadvantage of being significantly more sensitive to slippage and spread variances. So, strategy tester results are not to be taken as reprisantive of real trading enviroments.

This is not to say the EA is unprofitable, obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be featured here. Just to say a 99%+ Z-Score / a 7+ Sharpe Ratio is obviously vastly innacurate, which is how this tests.

SMC Fair Value EA [MQL5]


Strategy: This is a starightfoward Auto Trader that is based on the (disputed) concept of the so called 'market fair value gap', popular amongs 'SMC' and ICT traders. The short of it is that the market continuously creates price imbalances and those can be spotted by large expansions away from a price level. Making them key entry levels for later on.


Synopsis: Why I, the dev, decided to build the EA was mainly to see if

1. the strategy has any underling predictive power.
2. the strategy can at least generate long term profits (no matter how low)
3. to provide beginner traders with a well built tool that will disuade them from learning any 'fluff' like ICT OrderBlocks and FVGs, such as this case.

Features & Inputs: Basic Trade Management inputs. Use designated default magic number to run EA smoothly and avoid order collisions. [See image 3 for screenshot]


Tester Results: I would never run such an EA in a live account simply because the fundimental strategy is incorrect even though correct in theory.

YES: price does create imbalances and later retracts to correct for them, and yes a reliable model can be built around that.

NO: FVGs and OrderBlocks, or really any ICT/SMC adjacent system / model has absolutely no predictive power in determining where those levels are.

 

Funny enough, this specific EA, under the right conditions does go on decent winning streaks. This alone however is not significant to offset the losing streaks or the fact that it does not beat the baseline strategy.

[Think coin-toss models; example: an EA that has 100 point TP, 100 point SL. One trade per day. -> using an RSI + ATR + ADX combination to determine the most optimal price action and taking an order, the EA works out to about 60/40 WLR. In a live account that would average down to about 50/50 after slippage, fees and spread.]

Any system that cannot beat that minimum, is considered unprofitable, and this fits that criteria. However I am not in the church / religion business, hence I do not tell people what to believe. Hence I have made this EA available for free.

Burt Scalper EA [MQL5]


Strategy:   This is a Grid EA. Not in the traditional sense though. Higher timeframe bias is established and a trend is determined using traditional indicators such as the ADX and ATR, and a custom algorithm is run on those outputs to determine short term discount buy prices and premium sell prices.


Important functionality is also present in the EA such as basic risk management along with volatility controls. In a newer version of this EA (V2) and additional timeseries model has been implemented which shot up the WLR significantly (especially in the live account compared to V1).


Features & Inputs: [See images for screenshot OR watch backtest]


Tester Results: As shown in the screenshots the EA consistently generates positive EV and as of V2 is yet to close a day negative (since Aug 20).

Session Volatility Swinger EA [MQL4]


Strategy: This is a classic Session breakout EA. A dynamic lookback period is analyzed by the EA and it determines the MinMax daily price close and if those levels are violated by price above a specified point-Range the EA places an order with a minimum of (pR) as the invinsible TP.

Additionally the user can preset the EA to trade all 3 main sessions or only one of the 3 using on chart tooggles.


Features & Inputs: Basic Trade Management inputs including trailing stop and Trade session controls. Chart graphics to show current and past active session zones.


The best performing state of the EA is on US Indices such as Nasdaq and US30 on the "All Sessions" Setting. However notable profits have also been generated from Gold USD. Note however that this is a Swing trading EA, so entries are fewer than the vast majority of our product offerings.
