Hi, I’m Alex

I graduated with a higher technical degree, eager to enter the workforce, but finding a decent job was an uphill battle. Growing up in a modest family, I did not own a laptop and had no internet access at home. I had absolutely no concept of what trading, coding, or MetaTrader (MT4) meant.

Then, conflict struck my home region. In an instant, I lost everything: my home, relatives, friends, and the first job I had only recently managed to secure. I was forced to migrate, living in temporary shelters, constantly moving, and often starving. With only a simple mobile phone, I began searching for a way to earn a living online—seeking a hobby that could eventually bring in some income and support me anywhere in the world.

I stumbled upon a trading forum thread discussing a free grid robot called Ilan Dynamic 1.6. It was a straightforward Martingale system: a simple grid with an RSI-based entry for the first order, a volatility step filter, and a series-wide take-profit goal in points. Intrigued by this mathematical logic, I saved enough to buy my very first laptop and decided to dive headfirst into Forex.

I began sharing logic enhancements on the forum. The community was highly active, and talented developers started coding my ideas into new versions of the bot. It was a thrilling cycle of testing on demo and cent accounts, but it had one major bottleneck: I didn’t know how to code in MQL myself. I was entirely dependent on the goodwill and availability of others.

Over the years, I posted nearly 1,000 algorithmic enhancements on trading forums. I sought to dismantle the core vulnerabilities of traditional Martingale and grid EAs. I designed concepts that would solve the fatal flaws of traditional grids, which commercial sellers quickly noticed. Many developers took my open-source concepts, optimized them on historical data, and packaged them as commercial, proprietary products. While it was bittersweet, it proved one thing: my strategies worked.

Recognizing the detail in my ideas, a professional programmer proposed a partnership: he would write the code, and I would design the algorithms and test the systems. This was my first official role in the industry.

I gained a reputation for drafting perfect Technical Specifications (ТЗ). By mapping out every edge case, risk limit, and logic loop, I helped developers write flawless code on the first attempt. Programmers loved working with me because I was thorough and never missed a technical detail in the design documentation.

Working alongside professional coders inspired me to start writing MQL code myself. After compiling my very first trading robot, there was no turning back. It was absolute magic.

I focused on coding custom, reusable library headers (.mqh) built from my cumulative experience. By standardizing recurring functions like orders modification, safety locks, and API connections, I created a Lego-like modular architecture that allows me to build stable, bug-free robots rapidly.

Today, I am a seasoned developer fluent in MQL5, C++, Python, PHP/Laravel, and Electron. I have engineered and deployed advanced client-server systems like my MQL Protection Services to secure commercial EAs against cracking, alongside custom web interfaces with live APIs and high-frequency execution utilities.

My journey continues. I am dedicated to helping both rookie and institutional traders bring their strategies to life. I became the very developer I was searching for back in 2008: someone who understands both the math of the markets and the engineering of the code.
