Public Ideas — I’m building a Forex trading bot with almost no budget. Who’d like to work on it with me?
Public contributions, oldest first. Ideas are free public suggestions. Proposals and private messages are not shown here.
Helpful early warning: a 90% hit rate is the wrong target. Many bots that win 90% of trades still lose money, because a few large losses wipe out many small wins, and spreads plus commissions eat thin edges. Track net profit after costs and maximum drawdown instead, and test on data you didn't tune on. That's where most bots quietly fail.

A useful collaborator could challenge the strategy rather than help optimise it. Write down the rules and evaluation method first, then have someone independently reproduce the results, including unsuccessful versions. A transparent research record would give a future technical partner something concrete to assess.
