Automated Trading System – Project BriefThis project is already 80% complete — all major parts are in place (Azure, Holly config, QC project,local files).The goal is to finalize, integrate, and polish into a stable, one-click system that runs daily withconfidence.Key Objectives:- Refine QuantConnect algorithm (paper/live) to run error-free.- Premarket analysis + intraday market-order trading only.- Confident risk management (trailing stops, daily profit/loss guardrails, ~$400/day target).- Smart eviction: replace weaker positions only if new candidate is stronger AND current is at leastbreak-even/profitable.- Integrate Azure → TradeStation relay (OAuth2, idempotent).- Add self-learning framework (adjust settings dynamically from backtest/live results).- Integrate real-time news catalyst & sentiment filter (weed out hype, confirm only quality signals).Access: Session-based supervised remote access (AnyDesk/TeamViewer) can be provided to thetrading machine where Holly, Azure, and QC are already set up.All access is supervised, paper mode only, and keys will be rotated after work is complete.Target: Daily average profit ~$400 with smooth risk-managed execution.Milestones (example structure):1. QC algo stable in paper with risk + eviction logic (25%).2. Holly/Azure feed integrated and tested (25%).3. TradeStation relay tested in dry-run (25%).4. Final system live-ready + docs/playbook delivered (25%).Public Posting (Upwork / Toptal / FreelancePlatforms)Job Post: Finalize Automated Trading System (Trade Ideas Holly → Azure → QuantConnect →TradeStation)SummaryI need a trading developer to integrate and finalize a system that is already mostly built. All major partsare in place:- Azure functions, webhooks, SAS tokens already set up.- Trade Ideas Holly configured and outputting signals (cURL/webhook).- Azure Blob publishing CSV of Holly picks.- QuantConnect project created with a working draft algorithm.- Cover and text files already on the computer.The next step is to bundle it together without bugs: stable execution in QuantConnect, premarketanalysis, intraday trading (market orders only), confident risk management, smart eviction/rotationrules, self-learning optimization, and smooth handoff to TradeStation once funded.Also desired: real-time news catalyst scanning with sentiment filter to weed out hype and confirm onlyquality catalysts.When complete, I will deposit $10k into TradeStation to enable the API key and live routing.Scope of WorkPhase 1 – QC Algo Finalization (Paper Mode)- Refine the existing QC script.- Ensure premarket analysis is applied before entries.- Enter trades intraday only (after 09:32/09:33 ET) with market orders only.- Select top Holly candidates (max 3) based on filters (price, RVOL, VWAP, etc.).- Apply trailing stops (ATR or %), time stops, and EOD flatten.- Confirm clean runs in backtest and paper live.Phase 2 – Risk Management & Smart Eviction- Implement confident risk management: trailing stops, daily guardrails, ~$400/day profit target, swingcontrol.- Smart eviction: only replace if new candidate stronger AND current is break-even/profitable; nochurning red trades.Phase 3 – TradeStation API Relay (Dry-Run → Live)- Azure function relays QC order requests to TradeStation API (OAuth2).- Start with dry-run logging mode, then enable live after testing.- Must support idempotency, proper error handling, logging.Phase 4 – Monitoring, Config & Self-Learning- Config file (YAML/JSON) with knobs for entry/exit, stops, risk, profit target.- End-of-day summary (hit rate, profit factor, P&L;).- Self-learning: system adapts settings based on backtest/live performance.- Robust error handling.Phase 5 – News Catalyst Integration- Integrate real-time news/sentiment feed.- Filter hype, confirm only strong news catalysts aligned with Holly signals.Acceptance Criteria- QC Backtest: entries correct, max 3 positions, stops/eviction correct, self-learning present, no runtimeerrors.- QC Paper: Holly ingested, trades executed, risk/eviction/news filter work, daily summary ~$400.- Failure handling: empty Holly list skip, Azure/TS retry, TS OAuth refresh.Deliverables- Clean QC algo.- Azure functions Holly→QC and QC→TS.- Config file with knobs + self-learning hooks.- Docs/playbook.Remote Access OptionSession-based remote access (AnyDesk/TeamViewer) can be provided to trading computer whereHolly, Azure, and QC are already set up. Supervised only, paper mode, keys rotated afterward.How to ApplyInclude examples of QC/Lean systems, API/news integrations, confirm ability to deliver premarketanalysis, risk management, self-learning, catalyst filter. Provide timeline and bid.QC Forum / Discord PostingLooking for a Lean dev to finalize a Holly → Azure → QC → TradeStation pipeline.Most work is already done:- Holly configured (signals via webhook).- Azure functions + Blob CSV feed set up.- QC project created with draft algo (ATR stops, risk logic, rotation).- Local cover/text files ready.Need someone to:- Refine QC algo to run clean in backtest + paper.- Add premarket analysis + intraday-only entries (market orders only).- Implement confident risk management: trailing stops, guardrails, swing control, ~$400/day target.- Smart eviction: only rotate out if new candidate stronger AND current at least break-even/profitable.- Integrate Azure → TradeStation relay (OAuth2, idempotent).- Add self-learning optimization (adjust settings dynamically from past/current performance).- Integrate real-time news/sentiment feed to weed out hype, confirm quality catalysts.- Deliver config + playbook for one-click daily use.Remote Access OptionSupervised session-based remote access (AnyDesk/TeamViewer) available to trading computer whereHolly, Azure, QC are set up. Paper mode only, keys rotated afterward.Once QC stable, I’ll fund $10k into TradeStation to enable API key and live routing.DM with examples of QC/Lean projects, sentiment/news integrations, and timeline/bid.
