Hey, I’m Andrew, thanks for checking out my project. For years I’ve dreamed of building my own commodity trading application, and now it’s time to make it happen. I’m looking for a developer who’s not just great at coding but also excited to help drive this project forward faster than i can.
This is a rough guideline of the phases & milestones. They can be changed, modified, or improved in whatever way you see fit and whatever way you wanna tackle this. I would love to hear your questions, comments, and concerns about this gameplan.

This project is too ambitious to deliver all at once. Instead, it will roll out in clear, well-defined phases

My very talented friend and designer Chris has created a beautiful dashboard for this trading app.
The goal is to get an 80% or better match on this design. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
I have this exact trading system built as a NinjaScript right now and you can reference that if you like or build it your own way.
One of the main goals for this project is to have “Server Side” stop losses with logic attached to them.
CME and Broker disconnections happen and its extremely important the syncronization state of the stop loss is functioning.
Its a basic trend following strategy that adds to winning positions and move the stop loss up to break even plus one.
I have a demonstration video i can share with you once we get to this point.
The purpose of the strategy builder is to give me the flexibilty to modify this trend following system on different markets, changes position sizes, stop loss, re-entries...etc.
Once I add a new strategy I want that particular system to populate in the “My Strategies” page and be able to turn it off/on Viewing the parameters and performance of the system/strategy I set up is pretty important.
Once a system goes into production and its “turned on” its important to see whats going on.
This platform will have no “click trading” to buy market or sell market and not allow any discretionary decision making all trades are automated
There will only be a “Close Position” button allowing me either take profit (since my systems don't have a profit target) or hit the panic button if a system breaks or the market gaps against me.
I'm not entirely sure what this page is for, but i would assume the rithmic API reports back useful information.
I beleive it would also he helpful for troubleshooting whats going on.
Once we get to this point we can say this is the MVP and start focusing on the visual components of this project
You DO NOT need to be an expert with all these technologies, but you do need to be the quarterback who works with these consultants when we need them.
Rithmic Execution Feed Vizualization
No matter how hard we try, we’ll never beat TradingView on vizualization. And we’re not trying to.
Being able to open a new chart and look at real time data (that plots current and closed positions) as well as veiwing historical market will be the end of phase 2
NinjaTrader has a great feature that allows you to go back in time to test out strategies.
Any standard backtesting tool can handle basic algorithms where there is a fixed postion stop loss and profit target.
Market replay or playback is better for analyzing dynamic strategies when trailing stops are involved.
Scaling into positions and moving stop losses makes backtesting messy. The purpose of this feature is to test out the trend following “strategies” i make.
I beleive there are a few open source tools that are available for this.
Disclaimer: I have no idea if these tools can even acomplish this replay or playback feature. These are just the companies i found i think they may be able to help.
This is all the limited knowledge i have up to this point and would love to collaborate with you and discuss this project in more depth
