I have well-laid-out specs for a unique trading strategy I call Fake n Break that works like a charm and only need some help with the coding and testing of it. I am willing to share the fruits of my 53 years of trial, error, and perseverance that has led to this point in exchange for some help in getting it actually up and running so I can make my living as a trader. My #1 passion must now be my livelihood.
I can present this all with illustrations of the concepts at work on annotated charts in a PowerPoint given a little more time, if anyone wants to step up to the plate and express their genuine interest now.
Is anyone out there willing and able to commit to and finish this life-changing task alongside me? We need to make personal contact and work together one-on-one via Zoom or better still in person looking at the same 67" monitor I use.

Only "eyeball trading" to this point, and that's how I have honed it into what it is over the years. manual trading in my simulated account is next as soon as i get the pattern itself coded to indicate true signals I can trade immediately. Not easy to sit by the computer waiting for signals that must be acted upon quickly lest a great trade could go by the boards. High Thrust Factor trades are mostly "dream trades" though many lesser gains are the norm.
It's like playing smallball with good pitching, solid defense, speed, and hitting for a high average vs slugging for a grand slam every trade as most do. Take what the market offers, win most of the time, and move on to the next trade!
This system is flexible and not bound by one time-frame of fixed bars on a fixed clock. BIG advantage!
So trading manually real-time is hard to do until the code is in place, so disciplining myself to NOT trade until the code is sufficient to produce signals that can be tested historically, simulated, and then implemented real-time around the clock once bulletproof and bug-proof.
I have some health issues that have made programming difficult for me, and thus I seek to partner with someone who will commit and stay the course with me until the job is done for mutual satisfaction. Sharing over a forum does not work, as I have tried it. I came here to network mostly.
I have had many developers over the past year leave me high and dry in today's cellphone mentality, so this project has taken longer than it should have taken.
I've attached my specs in a Word file for you to examine. I only ask in good faith confidentiality. I have not yet put illustrations with each concept in a complete presentation. See how it strikes you as what it is, and we'll go from there. Thanks for your interest.
Friend, respectfully, it sounds like you have what you perceive to be a good idea for a trading system. If you've never traded it manually- successfully and consistently- yourself, then it's not much more than that.
Unless you are or were a consistently successful day trader, It might be hard for someone to see the value to invest the time.
