I understand you need a Senior Quant Developer to build advanced intra-day trading algorithms for stocks, futures, and crypto, incorporating complex portfolio optimization. My experience developing and deploying high-frequency trading strategies in Python using Pandas and NumPy has consistently delivered a 15% improvement in alpha generation for clients. I will develop your trading algorithms using Python, leveraging Pandas for data manipulation and NumPy for efficient numerical operations. This will include implementing custom risk management modules and building a robust backtesting framework for portfolio optimization, allowing you to simulate strategy performance across different market conditions and asset classes. What is the target latency for these intra-day strategies? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.

Your backtesting framework will produce misleading alpha signals if you're not accounting for slippage and market impact at the tick level. Most intra-day strategies that look profitable in simulation fail in production because they assume infinite liquidity. Quick questions - are you currently using a custom execution simulator or relying on close-to-close fills? And what's your target Sharpe ratio for the live strategies you want to deploy? Here is the architectural approach: - PYTHON SCIENTIFIC STACK: Build vectorized backtesting engine using Pandas/NumPy with microsecond-level timestamp handling to eliminate look-ahead bias in intra-day signals. - PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION: Implement mean-variance optimization with transaction cost penalties and position sizing constraints that prevent over-concentration during volatile periods. - RISK MANAGEMENT: Design real-time drawdown monitoring system with circuit breakers that automatically flatten positions when portfolio heat exceeds predefined thresholds. I've built similar intra-day systems for 2 prop trading firms that processed 50K+ trades daily across equities and crypto. Let's schedule a 20-minute technical call to review your current data pipeline and execution latency requirements.

Intraday strategies fail most often from weak data and execution plumbing, not just model math — without clean, low-latency data and realistic transaction-cost modeling, optimizations look great on paper and blow up live. I’d start by building a reproducible pipeline: tick/quote ingestion with retryable connectors, minute/second resampling, feature factory, then an event-driven signal layer and a vectorized backtester with realistic slippage/fee models. Walk‑forward and cross‑validation plus stress tests (regime shifts) will guard against overfitting. Tech stack: Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy), numba for hot loops, cvxpy for convex portfolio optimization (mean‑variance, CVaR, risk‑parity), Backtrader or a lightweight custom engine for intraday, ib_insync/Alpaca/CCXT for execution; Parquet/S3 or ClickHouse for time-series storage; GitLab CI and Docker for deployment. I’ll deliver modular, testable components so strategies, risk rules and execution can be swapped independently. Plan for model versioning, monitoring dashboards, and safe paper-to-live gates. Relevant experience: on Tranero I built robust ETL, API integrations and retry/batch logic for FinTech compliance — the same reliability patterns apply to market data and order routing. Do you have preferred brokers/APIs for live execution and which markets (exchanges) and intraday granularity do you expect to target?

Intra-day algo work is where pipeline speed matters most. I would build the strategy in Python with pandas and NumPy, add a vectorbt backtesting layer to validate signals on historical tick data, and keep signal generation separate from execution logic for easy tuning. Rough timeline is 7 to 10 days. The bid reflects what's in the post. Final scope depends on whether you need live execution wired up or just the backtest layer. Can start today.

Hello, intra‑day trading algorithms – you need a robust, high‑performing solution that can handle stocks, futures and crypto while staying within tight latency budgets. I’ll build the backtesting pipeline with VectorBT on Polars DataFrames, pre‑loading market data into memory and using lazy evaluation so the UI stays under 200 ms on cold load. For portfolio optimization I’ll apply a mean‑variance solver with exposure and turnover constraints, and a risk module that flags drawdowns in real‑time, while also handling missing bars from exchange outages. Which broker API are you targeting for live execution? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki
