The task is to build an advanced, fully-automated Python trading robot that operates in the equities market and places many trades throughout the same day. I am targeting stocks and shares specifically, steering clear of crypto or forex for this project.

I will fund an initial milestone of US $750 to get the core system designed, coded, back-tested, and ready for a small live trial. Once the strategy proves profitable and I begin generating returns, the remaining compensation will be released in full—so the sooner the bot performs, the sooner you are paid in full.

Key expectations
• Written in Python using robust libraries such as pandas, NumPy, ta-lib, Backtrader (or a comparable framework)
• Connection to a live brokerage API (Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, or another equities gateway we agree upon)
• Configurable intraday strategy engine: signal generation, position sizing, risk and money management, fail-safes, and logging
• Comprehensive back-testing report covering at least two years of 1-minute data, with sharpe ratio, drawdown, and trade distribution analysis
• Clean, well-commented code plus a short video or call-through showing installation and live deployment

Acceptance criteria
1. The bot compiles and runs on my machine (Windows or Ubuntu).
2. Back-test matches the performance metrics agreed in our planning call.
3. A paper-trading session demonstrates reliable order execution, stop-loss placement, and position closing before the market close.

If you have a proven record building similar high-frequency or intraday equity bots, I’d love to see your work and discuss timelines so we can move straight into development.
I hope to find the strongest and most experienced Python developers and software engineers. I want to see their previous work, especially trading robots they have developed.
Have any of them previously built advanced trading systems for major trading companies or large financial institutions? I would like to review their portfolios, completed projects, technical capabilities, and real-world experience.
I want to understand exactly what each developer can offer in terms of the robot's intelligence, architecture, trading strategies, risk management, market analysis, automation, and overall performance.
My goal is to build an exceptionally powerful and sophisticated trading robot that I can confidently present to major companies.
I would also like to negotiate a payment arrangement in which I pay an initial deposit upfront, receive the completed project, and pay the remaining balance from the profits generated after companies accept and purchase or license the robot.
Please help me find genuinely qualified experts, examine their previous work, and evaluate what they can deliver before we agree on the upfront payment and the remaining balance.
