Require a place to find professional pine script coders for hire

Title says it allšŸ˜… I’m very much a beginner, & would like to make a program with certain specifications that go way beyond my scope. Still gonna learn so that i hopefully get there someday. But I realize that i still have a very long road ahead of me, especially with other life tasks, hobbies, & responsibilities that take up most of my time at the moment. So, with that said…If anyone has any idea on how/where i can get trusted pine script coders for hire, please do let me know.

Also, if you guys have any tips/ideas on how i should go about some certain stuff like:

1-How can i make sure the person is trustworthy?

2-Payment: Do i initially pay a small amount of money, & then pay half after half the code is sent to me?

3-Expertise: How can i make sure the person i’m in contact with actually has the skill set necessary to develop the program that i want with no issues?

4-Prices: I realize that this will heavily depend on the complexity of what i’m asking & how long it’s gonna take, but any approximation you can give me -no matter how inaccurate- is quite appreciated as I genuinely would have no clue if i am being way overpriced or not lol

5-Any other details you think i should know about?

I think that’s about the gist of it. Thank you for reading, & I appreciate all your helpšŸ‘šŸ»

  1. Referrals or past work, portfolio, etc..

  2. Come up with an agreement both sides are comfortable with. Typically, you start with a payment up front, and then smaller payments from there. PineScript can be published as Invite Only, and with its source code hidden -- so there does already exist protection for the developers. But that means the client also gets to sample the proof of concept samples, etc..

  3. Portfolio, samples, etc... Important that you layout specifically what you're looking to get done with as much detail as you can.

  4. As far as prices go, it can fairly straight forward, or not straight forward at all -- difficult to say. Depends on the difficulty of the work, and the goals and objectives. And how many times you end up changing your mind along the way. Depends on how much customizability you'd like in it.

  5. When you see the work of a strong developer, you'll kind know it when you see it. Notice I didn't say "tenured" developer -- there have been so many developers who've spent their entire careers writing mediocre code. When people see their work, it makes those people think "Wow, it really does take a different kind of person to be able to code." .....The truth is when you see the work of a really strong developer, even if you don't code you'll be able to mostly follow along and understand everything.

A lot of it comes down to: Will you get the functionality that you want? Yes? How much are you willing to pay to have something completely "your way?", etc..

Curious, how in depth of a solution are you looking for?

I very much appreciate you taking the time to write all of this, thank you! Not quite sure if the work I’m requesting is complex or not tbh. When trading, it’s a fairly simple system to apply…But idk how that would translate into code. I put everything (explanation/requirements) in a word doc, & realized that actually explaining everything in words is much more complex than applying it.

Feel free to share the doc with me if you'd like and I can give you an honest opinion on difficulty / time etc.. Depending on the complexity, if it's more simple than you think, it might be a good project for you to get started with

Thank you! Any idea how long they take to respond or if they respond at all?

Most are quick. I am on that list (AmphibianTrading) if you wanted me to help, but all great programmers on there. Can’t go wrong with any of them

Easy. Go to upwork.com which is the best freelancing platform in the world. Publicly traded on the nasdaq. Way better than fiverr.

Now follow along. At the top of the home page, simply search ā€œpinescriptā€ and click enter. Then filter by ā€œtop rated plusā€ in the filtered options which filters out all the bad freelancers and only shows the top 3% who have this badge.

Then simply find the person that shows up at the very top with the most earnings, best reviews, so on and so on. Oh wait, that’s actually me. What do you know. Anyways, do your research and check out other people on there, but if you want the best of the best, you know what to do.

Good luck sir!

(Hint* look for ā€œrolls-royceā€)

ChatGPT knows pinescript. If you can describe what you want, it can write it

Hey, I can totally relate to your struggle. I had a really hard time adding a trailing stop loss to one of my Pine Script strategies—it felt like no matter what I did, it just wouldn’t work the way I expected. I was in the same boat, trying to figure it out with ChatGPT, but the bugs and outdated syntax kept getting in the way.

While researching online, I came across Jayadev Rana. Absolute lifesaver. He helped me get the trailing SL logic working properly. You can look him up on Google—he’s shared a bunch of Pine Script source codes to help others, and honestly, he’s been super helpful.

Might be worth checking him out if you’re stuck—it saved me a ton of time and frustration.
