You’ll combine research discipline with real-world trading practicality. What You’ll Do • Strategy research in Trading View (Pine Script v5) • Implement and iterate on strategy logic in Pine (prototypes → robust versions) • Build tooling to explore ideas quickly (filters, regime detection, trade management logic) • Maintain readable, modular code so iteration is fast • Reproduce/extend ideas beyond Trading View in Python when needed: c_parameter sweeps, d_sensitivity/stability checks, “Does this edge persist across pairs and regimes?”, “What’s the expected drawdown distribution?”, “What happens when correlations spike?” • Propose and design your own 'Risk Dashboard' such as: Spread / liquidity anomaly alerts, Exposure caps on client’s account, cooldowns, trade halts, guardrails for bad fills, error conditions, abnormal volatility, extreme market moves.
