I’m looking for a developer to build an automated trading bot for TopstepX based on my own trading strategy called TRE. The strategy uses SPY 15-minute candles to identify setups and then executes trades on ES/MES through TopstepX. I already have the strategy rules defined and I also have a prototype that was built with Claude that I can provide. I mainly need someone who knows automated trading and can turn it into a reliable bot that can actually be used for live execution. The bot needs to: * Follow my TRE rules exactly without changing the strategy. * Use the 15-minute SPY chart and 9/21 EMA confirmation. * Recognize both long and short setups. * Use my predefined support/resistance levels. * Execute trades through TopstepX. * Handle stops, targets, and my SPY-based exit rules. * Prevent duplicate trades. * Properly track every entry, stop, and target order. * Recover correctly if the bot disconnects or restarts while a trade is open. * Handle rejected orders, cancelled orders, partial fills, API issues, etc. * Have basic safety controls such as max daily loss, max trades, position limits, and an emergency flatten option. * Keep detailed logs so I can see exactly why a trade was or wasn’t taken. * Have a proper testing/simulation mode before anything is used with real money. I want the code to be clean and documented, and I want the full source code when the project is completed. I’m looking for someone with actual experience building trading bots and working with futures/API execution, preferably TopstepX or similar platforms. I can provide the full TRE rules and my existing Claude prototype to use as a starting point. Please tell me about your experience with automated trading, what technology you would use, how you would approach the project, your estimated timeframe, and your price.

Hi, The hardest part of a live trading bot isn't the strategy logic, it's the state recovery. If the bot restarts mid trade, it has to reconcile open orders against TopstepX before doing anything else, or it double-fires. I'd build that reconciliation on startup, plus an idempotency key per setup so duplicate entries are impossible even after an API hiccup. I'd do this in Python, with a persisted order/position store so every entry, stop, and target survives a crash. Simulation mode first, real execution only after your TRE rules match trade for trade against the prototype. I've built AI-driven automation systems with careful order and state handling. BD Automation: internal AI workflow engine Can you share the TRE rules and the Claude prototype so I can map the exit logic first? Adil

Hello!, This is James from Hollywood... I read your TopstepX bot post carefully, and the real challenge is not just building a bot, but turning your strategy into something stable, testable, and safe to execute. That is exactly how I would approach it. My plan would be: 1. Break down your rules clearly, entry, exit, risk, filters, session times, max loss, and sizing. 2. Build the TopstepX execution layer with clean API handling and recovery logic. 3. Backtest and forward-test the strategy before any live use. 4. Add logging, alerts, and guardrails so you always know what the bot is doing. I’m very detail-oriented on trading projects because small mistakes in order flow, timing, or risk control can break a good strategy fast. I’d rather get the logic right than rush into something fragile. Relevant work: - Futures signal automation for a prop-trading workflow - Python market scanner with rule-based execution - Trading dashboard for strategy tracking and journaling - API automation system for a finance ops team Quick questions: - Is your strategy fully rule-based, or does it need discretion on some entries/exits? - Do you want this running on a VPS 24/7, or only during specific sessions? - Should it only place orders, or also manage stops, break-even, and trailing logic? If you want, send me the strategy rules and I’ll map the cleanest build path.

Hi! I have experience with API integrations, automation, real-time data processing and trading workflows. I can turn your TRE rules and existing prototype into a structured execution bot without changing the strategy logic. I would focus heavily on reliable order/position state management, duplicate-trade prevention, reconnect/restart recovery, partial fills, rejected/cancelled orders and detailed decision logs. I would also implement simulation mode first, followed by controlled testing before enabling live execution. For real-time market data and execution I would use Node.js/WebSocket where appropriate, with REST API calls for order management. I suggest milestone-based development, starting with a review of your TRE rules, Claude prototype and TopstepX API capabilities. Estimated timeline is 7–12 days, with a preliminary budget of $700 depending on the existing prototype and API scope.

Hi, I'm Denis, a developer who's built several automated trading systems, including bots that execute on futures platforms similar to TopstepX. From your description, the core challenge here is translating your precise TRE rules into a system that handles real-time market data, executes reliably, and recovers gracefully from disruptions. I'd approach this by starting with your existing rules and prototype to ensure the strategy logic remains unchanged. The bot would run on a lightweight Python stack with Zerodha/Kite Connect-style API handling for TopstepX, since their API structure is well-documented. The critical parts would be order tracking (to prevent duplicates and handle partial fills), connection recovery logic (to handle disconnections without losing position state), and a simulation mode that mirrors live execution but with paper trading. For reliability, I'd build in fail-safes like order validation before submission, rate limiting to avoid API throttling, and a heartbeat system to detect stalled connections. The logging would capture every decision point so you can audit trades later. The biggest risks are API limitations (rate limits, order rejection patterns) and data synchronization during volatile moves. These would be handled with retry logic and state snapshots. I can start working right away. Let's connect and discuss the details. Thanks, Denis.

Hi ⭐️, Building a reliable automated trading bot for TopstepX requires precise API integration and robust error handling to ensure trades execute exactly according to your TRE strategy. I will develop the bot using Python, leveraging libraries like ccxt or direct REST/WebSocket connections to handle real-time SPY 15-minute candle data and ES/MES order execution with minimal latency. The focus will be on implementing strict safety controls, including max daily loss limits and duplicate trade prevention, while ensuring the system can recover gracefully from disconnections or API failures. By building in a comprehensive simulation mode and detailed logging, I allow you to validate the strategy's performance thoroughly before risking live capital. Could you share the existing Claude prototype and the specific TRE rules document? Please let me know if you have access to the TopstepX API documentation or if we need to reverse-engineer the endpoints from their platform.

The trickiest part of a TopstepX bot isn't the entries, it's the reconnect logic: if the socket drops mid-trade, the bot has to reconcile open orders against broker state before acting, otherwise you get duplicate stops. I'll wrap your TRE rules and prototype into a Python service with a SPY feed, 9/21 EMA confirmation, TopstepX execution, and a sim mode mirroring live routing. 1) Is the prototype in Python, and which SPY data feed are you on? 2) Do daily-loss and max-trade limits reset on session or calendar day? Exact timeframe and cost I'll confirm in chat after reviewing the prototype. Cheers Shayan
