It's official. I've lost the will to live.
Second page. Cool.
Lesson: don't pay for EA? don't overpay for EA? learn to program yourself? Learn to live with your loss, especially if you can bring it back with 1 trade?
Create new forum sticky with cons' names?
Why drama here? I mean I like to take out the popcorn and enjoy the show as much as the next guy, but hell, mql4 forums? :))

Oh and I can help you code stuff if your stuff really needs coding (didnt check the code in second post). Would be cool if you actually knew that your strategy worked first.
The lesson to learn (for programmers) is to make unmistakably clear from the very beginning on (and double and triple check that the customer has really understood this) that the purpose of the contract is NOT to deliver a profitable EA. It is to deliver an EA that fulfills the specifications, even if they don't define a profitable system, because often this cannot be determined before actually programming it.
EA development is exploratory programming! Exploratory programming is extremely expensive, success CAN NOT be guaranteed, often there will be no success at all. The customer must understand this.
The customer MUST acknowledge beforehand that it is very well possible and perfectly allowable that the end result is an EA that is not profitable, even if the EA perfectly fulfills all specifications, and in this case there is absolutely nothing the programmer must (or most often even can) do about it because it is the customers responsibility to come up with specifications for the trading system and not the programmer's.

And as a side note: In the example screenshot of an email exchange between the customer and the programmer that was posted here in the thread there is one thing that immediately catches the eye: The customer seems to adhere to the abominable "full-quote-bottom-answer-top" quoting style while the programmer is cultivating the orderly structured and clear "relevant-quote-top-answer-bottom" quoting style in his email conversation. Even without reading the actual content of the mails I can conclude from this fact alone who is most likely wrong because his reasoning is dominated by chaotic and emotional right-brain-sided thinking and who is most likely right because he is a cool analytical left-side-brainer.
I came across this thread while googling Bartlomiej/Kalenzo this week. The only reason I did that was because he had offered to do some coding for me.....for FREE!!
I had a problem with my EA opening orders - I posted on a site looking for programmers and he said he would do it for nothing as it was only a few lines of code.
Everyone else was charging $30
He didn't have to do that.
This thread starter if they had been patient and reasonable probably would had what they wanted.
I have never met Bartlomiej/Kalenzo and I am not a sock puppet. He is Polish and I am Australian. Look at our English for proof. If anyone reads this thread and is concerned doing business with Kalenso they can email me at
