Opportunity: new to algos

Seeking Help Getting Started Mean Reversion Collaboration Request

Hi All

i am new to algorithmic trading but not new to trading.
i have 5+ years experience trading FX and limited experience trading equities/stocks.

August to date my FX returns are 35+%
I would like some help if there are any skilled python algo programmers in translating my strategy into code!

If anyone has the time and knowledge to genuinely lend a hand i think you will be pleasantly surprised by the outcomes of simply helping someone out.

I have basic python knowledge and understanding.

The strategy that has been working for me looks like this:

Step 1 : Weekly chart Stoch RSI has to be overbought or oversold (upper band 80, lower band 20)
Step 2 : 4hour 50 ema must have recently been respected. There are a number of way we can define this in code and i guess some experimentation is is order.
For instance we could say go to next step if over the most recent 150 4hr candlesticks, price action has reverted to within x pips or x % distance of the 4hour 50 ema more than 3 times, if else no trade.
Step 3 :There must be recent 4 hour MACD divergence - (again this can be defined in a number of ways)

Before i write an absolute essay, please can someone reply if they have the skills and knowledge to help?

Kind Regards

Charles Dennis
