Alternate Signal Delivery Without Python
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
My current trading automation is written in Python and it keeps letting me down—frequent disconnections, sluggish execution, and a parade of cryptic error messages. Rather than trying to patch it yet again, I want a fresh start in a different language and, preferably, a lighter-weight stack.
The core goal is to send trade signals to my Topstep account through TradersPost, but without leaning on TradingView or any Python components. I am open to JavaScript, Ruby, Java, or another language you feel is a better fit for low-latency, stable connectivity.
Scope of work
• Build a reliable bridge that pushes signals to TradersPost for Topstep evaluation.
• Maintain a real-time market-data feed so I can monitor positions and conditions continuously.
• Generate concise daily and end-of-week performance reports—CSV or JSON output is fine as long as it can be imported elsewhere.
Acceptance criteria
1. No Python dependencies anywhere in the stack.
2. Connection to TradersPost stays live for an entire trading session without manual resets.
3. Latency from signal creation to order arrival under 300 ms in normal conditions.
4. Error handling and reconnection logic clearly documented and proven in a short demo session.
Once the system meets those checkpoints, I will run it on my own VPS for a week to sign off on stability. After that, we can talk about any additional features or optimizations you might suggest.
