Willing to Pay $50 for a functional MACD Algo for single stock
Will pay via PayPal or Venmo as soon as it's functional.
Here's what I need:
o A Long/Short algo based on a Moving average convergence divergence (MACD) to trade a single stock based on 1,5, or 15 minute candles (using real time minute data for actual live trading).
The parameters (for MACD: Fast, Slow, signal) are not as important as the functionality (ie. that it works automatically as it's supposed to with Interactive Brokers and can execute trades quickly and efficiently) but you can simply use the MACD settings 3-35-10 for now.
You could just execute the trade as a limit order at the last known price +/-0.05% (or however else you think would be optimal, just no market orders) I don't have much experience optimizing/minimizing slippage but the volume of the stocks i trade is large and erratic.
I want it to trade 100 shares for the first order and then buy or sell short 200 shares thereafter so we're always long or short 100 shares
All positions should be closed 5 minutes prior to the close of the market and the algo should automatically start at market open.
Here's a link to a few example to similar work on Quantopian:

Message me to confirm if you're up for the task to confirm someone isn't already on it. +Bonus$$ if you help me get it working on Python 2.7 with IBpy and the IB API ; )
