Technology R-Quants.

Job Description

Quants dev required to build a Trading algo- long term association- You will be getting in on the ground floor. Pure startup: Only two devs.

About me: I am a Quants analyst/trader (not a dev) I've solved market mechanics to a T.

Algo trading dev req: who has worked with pure price (rather than indicators) ML, stat modeling know how. Understands expectancy- ie a function of risk:reward ratio & win rate. who is curious about market mechanics. who can convert the explained concepts into - actual hard codable rules. for whom this work is fun. Most imp: has integrity - cause IP protection is paramount. All in all I don't want just another coding monkey or worse- a prompt engineer or a vibe coder- but a nerd Quants dev with first hand experience, interest and enthusiasm for this.

Strat based on objective concepts, market mechanics & pure price. (Orderflow, liquidity etc As opposed to rationalistic concepts- for eg RSI divergence. No indicators used in strat) It is a multi TF, multi variable strat-

Everything is rule based- To be plot on chart.

Except the probability of entry point/area of giving the desired outcome- That has to be calculated- by building probability calculation engine (on backtest data) with multiple variables, with diff variables having diff weightage and variables not being binary- ie it can have 3-4 probability classes. ie Statistical modeling & Machine learning.

Algo expectancy ~ 1R or higher.

This is NOT a HFT or arbitrage etc strat. It's MFT. Even can be LFT.

Trading platform agnostic algo to be made- Language- Python, Testing- (This is on the dev; mine is just a suggestion- if any other platform is better, can work on that) The algo then has to be integrated to any execution platform- for eg: MT5, Kite, Tradingview, ctrader or anything else.

Built in two parts- 1st- Chart marking/plotting based on pure price/candles on multi TF (not easy- but rule based).

2nd- Prob calc/stat modeling/ML on BT data (multi variable, even the weights of diff. variables/concepts have to be figured out- not easy either)

In person work only- on DLP protocol enabled PCs. No remote. Location - Mumbai, Dadar. Pure in hand pay per month. Estimated time for completion of project- less than equal to- 1 year.

I don't have a pvt ltd registered. So hiring won't be "employee" status but a contractual one. (C2H) Sole proprietorship is registered. Name- R-Quants. Paychecks will come through it. All IP & algo belongs to it/me. NDA req.

**This below part is purely future incentive - (C2H) The dev(s) can be retained (Not a promise/contract- this is at my discretion) for expansion, optimization etc. Company- A Hedge fund- will be registered after algo completion. Incentives will be discussed then.
