cTrader Mega Project

**cTrader Mega Project:**

**For Bidders:**

Before placing a bid on this project, please note that it is intended for serious and experienced freelancers. The tasks involved will be very complex, and even the test phase will not be any simple or straightforward. This is why I have allocated a substantial budget and have not set any delivery deadlines.

If you are not comfortable working with intricate mechanisms or extensive codebases, please refrain from bidding. As this is the best approach to avoid resellers and fake freelancers. I'm trying to protect my budget and ensure that I'm working with a legit experienced freelancer.

I will select three freelancers for the test phase based on their experience and the quality of their work. The public community will then vote to choose one freelancer from these three, based on their performance (which is why a non-disclosure agreement is not required for the test phase). All three selected freelancers will receive compensation for their efforts, regardless of the voting outcome, to ensure that no one’s time is wasted. However, only one freelancer will be chosen for the main project.

(Note: This is a repost of an earlier project. I have recently taken out a loan and been approved especially to fund this mega project and sold some other assets too, which I will explain later.)

I initially wanted to cancel this project because I couldn't find experienced freelancers who could handle complex tasks, and the budget wasn't enough to cover all three steps. However, my loan request has been approved, so I can now afford the costs for this project. That's why I've decided to repost it.

Project One, also known as the test phase, will start at the beginning of November 2024. Until then, I will carefully review and analyze each freelancer based on their experience and the quality of their work. I plan to select three different freelancers in total selected across all the platforms where I posted this project.

The task for the test phase is clear, you will be provided with various fully open sourced scripts and your objective is to utilize those ideas an ehnance them into one single cTrader cBot. This is more complex than it might sound... If you like challenges then this is for you.

This is a repost of the cTrader Mega Project. If you have seen this project on multiple freelancing platforms, you are correct. By reposting, I hope to gain more visibility and attract experienced freelancers. This repost will provide more details that freelancers have frequently asked about.

**First, Deadline and Delivery Date:**
There is no set deadline or delivery date for this project. The timeline will be determined by the freelancers themselves. This approach ensures that each freelancer has enough time to perfect their work and feel comfortable with their schedule. Therefore, please do not ask about deadlines or delivery times, as I have explained this here.

**Second, The Budget:**
The budget is FIXED for the first step of this project (converting and enhancing). The budget ranges from a minimum of $30 to a maximum of $250. This budget is for the first part only, allowing me to ensure that the freelancer I work with is genuinely skilled and not a reseller or middleman.

- **Project One/Test Phase (Converting and Enhancing PineScripts)**
Budget: $30 - $250 FIXED

This is the first project to assess freelancers' experience with complex open-source projects. Freelancers will work with detailed open-source scripts to convert them into cTrader C#. If you cannot handle at least 500 lines of code, please do not waste your time bidding.

- **Project Two (Semi-Building cTrader from Scratch)**
NDA Required
Budget: $1500 - $2250 FIXED / Floating under specific conditions.

The second project will have stricter guidelines. Freelancers are only allowed to gather inspiration from open-source or other projects, but the actual implementation must be original. Unlike the first project, where freelancers can convert public and open-source projects directly.

- **Project Three (Mega cTrader Project from Scratch)**
NDA Required
Budget: $3500 Floating (Capped at a maximum of $8000 - $12000)

This final project will be built from the ground up with an original idea and concept. The maximum budget cap of $8000 - $12000 is due to budget management and potential future additions.

- **Additions:** Each addition to the Mega cTrader Project will have a budget ranging from $100 - $350, with a maximum of 3 additions per month for budget management.

For new freelancers or those who have contacted me before, proof of funds is available upon request for serious, verified freelancers only. Asking for proof of funds before verification will result in a report.

**Frequently Asked Questions:**

**Q1: Am I qualified to work on the project?**
**A1:** If you have extensive experience with cTrader and can handle complex logic and advanced strategies with at least 500 lines of code, then yes.

**Q2: Why is the budget low for the first project?**
**A2:** This is a common question. Before focusing on the saying this is a low budget, consider the benefits: there is NO delivery date, allowing you to work without pressure. Additionally, the first step is fully open-sourced and well-explained, making it a good way for me to identify legitimate freelancers versus resellers.

**Q3: I have a strong profile with many reviews. Can I skip the first project and go directly to the second or third?**
**A3:** While I appreciate your experience, I want to see genuine skills in the first project. You may skip the first project only if you have worked with me before, either on this platform or another.

**Q4: Can I work with a team?**
**A4:** Yes, but the budget will remain fixed regardless of the number of team members. All team members must belong to the same company or group, and I must be informed in advance if this is the case.

**Q5: Can I complete all three projects in one month?**
**A5:** Currently, I cannot afford to pay the full amount in one month. I prefer freelancers who take their time to perfect their work. Completing one project each month would be ideal.

**Q6: How much can I earn from this project?**
**A6:** Assuming that if you successfully complete all three projects and make additions to the third project, the total budget I have for this whole projects overall is $15,000. Possibly more funding for future projects.

**Q7: Why not make a contest instead?**
**A7:** I'm not familiar with contests and I have just known about it while posting this project. So I will keep as the standard way ad I did with other platforms when posting this project.

DISCLAIMER: I will be posting a project post after each phase completion this way I can verify for other freelancers that a certain phase have been finished. So this post is for the test phase only which is required.

The spots for participating in the first project of converting and enhancing a strategy are limited to 3 individuals. I will carefully choose these 3 participants based on their experience and past work. They will be given a different complex strategy that they need to convert and enhance for cTrader C# with precision.

Before bidding, ensure you can work with at least 500 lines of code for the first project. The subsequent projects will require even more.

If I identify any resellers or non-legitimate freelancers, I will report and block them from future projects.

Before bidding, please prepare examples of your previous work. This repost is made possible by finally having enough budget to cover the costs of all three projects.
