Collaborative project development in MQL5 - our future? - page 10

[Реter Konow]

Dmitiry Ananiev:

I'm afraid to imagine an MQL project that would require several programmers. Unless it's some kind of sophisticated neural networks.

Look at freelancing. If it's not counting wagons, it's a grid, if it's not a grid, add timed trading.

You do not need to use neural networks. My personal fuzzy logic Expert Advisors are much better. Optimization is a great brake on the development of algotrading. It is necessary to focus on complex semi-automatic EAs which can bring people closer to a real professional trading, and away from deadlocked parameter fitting. Imho.

[Реter Konow]

Of course, there will always be those who do not need to delve into market processes and a picture of the tester after optimisation is enough. However, this does not suit professional traders. Therefore, professionals trade either manually or on semi-automatic machines.

Look at Gerchik. He is a professional and he openly said that modern trading robots cannot use his strategy in a good way. That said, he only uses robots as helpers. That is, he shifts the routine work to them - filtering instruments and so on...

The advantages of semi-automatic robots with GUI can be the following:

1. Conducting your own market research and outputting the required data into your own tables.

2. Outputting statistics of your own trading in real time.

3. Manually adjusting trading settings when market indicators change.

4. Quick reconfiguration of the strategy.

5. Total complication of the Expert Advisor, to solve any trader's tasks.

All this will increase the level of algotrading in general.

Therefore, I am in favour of semi-automatic).

Реter Konow:
All the same, judging from the global scale, is there any chance of success with such a project? After all, if there are companies where programmers are already doing joint development in MQL on other platforms, wouldn't it be easier and more convenient to work in the native environment? What if it would be a big step forward for the company?

We need to see it first, the services have been promising it for a year and a half.

Just for the sake of interest, can I have some links to companies that write on mcl?

For interest, can I have links to companies that write on mcl?

No, it's personal connections on Skype. You won't have a job there anyway.

We have already made projects in the editor, and the editor itself has been tightened up in terms of features.

We are now concentrating on expanding the editor's functionality:

1. Improved the command set
2. improved the intelligences
3. We've added a new library of template lists/hedges/arrays.
   
4. Added projects with new options (projects can have optimization mode disabled during development to speed up the process)
5. We have added a brand new MQL5 Storage engine for managing projects. You can make public or closed projects, invite developers, and have the author own and manage the project.
   
6. We are adding a new server signature mechanism similar to the Marketplace products. Portions of the resulting code (not source code) are sent to a special encryption service with server keys, which gives additional code protection. It is controlled by project settings.
   
7. Add sub-window of freelance service in Toolbox, where all orders in retail time are visible.
8. Add the subwindow of public projects, including sections of invitations, to the Tools
9. Add a new chat and channel system to all platform components, similar to modern messengers. This will give an impetus to deeper communication and sharing

Projects will give a boost to more complex projects, as opposed to the childish period of "one-file software".

And a collaborative feature with publishing invitations will accelerate this process.

By the way, yes, I'd like to read about working with projects.
