The EA has been coded and is working properly, however, it needs to be able to communicate with an API that is set up for a client. Knowledge in this area is an absolute MUST! If you cannot accomplish this please do not bid.
Timeline for the project is URGENT. If you do not have the time to devote to this than please do not bid.
Further explanation from the API developer:
“In order to interact with an API we need to make a POST (a HTTP POST) and then send over the parameters in the POST.
This would be done via an array. However at the end of building the data array we would need to compute a hash of it using an API key that will be provided. This would ensure that no one else can send signals to the API impersonating the EA.
This requires the use of a HMAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC)
function. This is pretty common in most languages however if the EA is only running on the build in library, it would not work.
The EA use a DLL and therefore we can use the C library cURL and make the post that way. For the HMAC signature I am not sure which encryption library would be used, but I am sure it is easily available in C.”
The chosen programmer will be working with myself and possibly 2 other
persons (the API developers) to complete this task so you must be easily reachable through email.
Programmer must be fluent in MetaQuotes Language and have several EA’s
already built. If you have any running on an account that is linked to the likes of myfxbook or mt4i I’d be interested in seeing it (just to see you have live running EA’s that function properly).
The client will be entertaining all bids from all programmers. Once one is chosen and a Non-Disclosure Agreement is in place the strategy will be emailed for final bid amount and money will be placed into the scriptlance escrow.
