Specification
I'm looking for an MQL4 expert -- best of the best -- and I'm willing to pay top dollar for it.
In particular, I need someone very confident with OOP MQL4 -- Classes, constructors, inheritance, private vs public, instantiating objects, passing them into and out of functions, etc. This project needs all of that. Please only apply if you're very proficient with all of that.
I am reasonably good with MQL4 and C++ but I'm no expert. I have written something like 70% of an EA that I need help completing. I'd prefer not to outline the requirements of the strategy here because it contains pretty sensitive intellectual property (mine and my business partner's). My goal here is to find someone who, for most of the time spent on this project, can fill the gaps in my MQL4 skills, and pair-program with me over screen sharing to complete the EA. The rest of the time spent on this will be some cases where I could explain a requirement for a single complex function or class and you could take that away, build it and bring that back to incorporate into the app.
A few more random points:
This is very OOP. I've found there are a lot of developers around that say they know MQL4 and/or C++ but they're not familiar with the complexities of MQL4/C++'s OOP (classes, etc. as I mentioned in the first paragraph). Eg. how to correctly pass objects into functions as parameters, and how to return objects from functions as results, seems to be a question a lot of MQL4/C++ "experts" don't seem to be able to answer. I'm looking for someone who can do all that kind of stuff in MQL4 without even needing to think about it (because you've already done it a bazillion times in the past, and that's why you're anexpert).
I kinda need someone whose spoken English is near native level. I don't know why but for some reason, I'm sorry to say, I have a lot of difficulty understanding foreign (to me) accents. That's an issue with me, not any reflection on anyone else. Happy to try with anyone but just a heads up that that could be a problem.
Following this site's Rules: I've heard stories of people using this service to find each other then engage outside, etc. Please be aware I intend to follow all the rules and if I hire someone from here all work and payments need to be done through here as per the rules. So yeah... please don't even ask.
Having read all the rules, there doesn't seem to be anything forbidding "hourly" jobs, but I can't seem to see any way to hire someone on an hourly basis here. Unless there's a better way I'm not yet aware of, one solution is we agree on a small fixed number of hours to work together to start with, and an appropriate price for that, then we spend the time. As long as you haven't misrepresented your skillset in any way then I'll consider that a completed job regardless of how much is actually achieved in that time. If that goes well we can do it again, rinse and repeat until we finish it. However... if there's any kind of hourly option in this system here that you know of (which I can't find), please point me to it.
Exclusive rights to all code developed together will go to me. If I ask you to write a class, function, etc. on your own, I will own it but am happy to grant you license to use that for your own needs as described in I.12 of this site's Rules.
I think that about covers it. If you've read all of this and think you can help, I'd love to talk more.
