Continuation of development of Stock Trading software -- 2

Hello. For the past few years, I have been working with a programmer, developing several small applications trading financial markets. However, he has moved on to bigger things, so I am looking for someone to continue where we left off.
We built the applications around an open source application called Tradelink. ([login to view URL]). They have created "connectors" which plug into the API of various online brokers, to receive market quotes and data. Our applications connect to Tradelink connectors, to receive market data and allow the execution of trades. Both Tradelink and our applications are written in c#. The applications are not algorithms for automated trading. They are tools to help with manual (human) trading. I attached a screenshot of one of the applications.
The first projects would be small, as there are some bugs that need to be fixed. This is probably a good way to also become familiar with the software. From there, I would like to add new functionality and features to the programs. Eventually, I would like to replace the Tradelink connectors with our own connection directly to the broker, which would result in greater stability and the ability to add more functionality and features.
I realize in the beginning there is a learning curve, to understand how the software works and how it was built. I figure this would be part of the billing for the initial bug fixes. I'm not sure how to put a value on this, but I would be interested to hear your thoughts. For this reason, I didn't put any real numbers in the budget section of this posting, such as min/max, duration etc. Also, while its ideal that someone with at least some experience working with trading applications, its not a requirement. My previous programmer had no experience, but through my help, managed to gain an understanding fairly quickly. I'm willing to answer as many questions as necessary.
I'm looking for someone who:
-has a strong understanding of c#
-speaks good english, to avoid miscommunication
-is willing to develop these applications through a series of continuous small jobs, with potential for bigger ones down the road.
-will likely be in business for at least the next couple years
-is trustworthy and professional
-has a reasonable hourly rate. Cost is important to me, and would be a factor in who I choose.
I am a fair and honest person. I'm easy to work with. I am not overly demanding when it comes to deadlines.
If you are interested, please let me know your thoughts or any questions.
I'm a professional .NET developer with about 5 years of experience in commercial projects. I have a regular full-time job but I can work part-time on your project. I learn quickly and deliver results in a timely manner.

Hi,
I would love to finish the project for you. Well you can add extra 2/3 hours for understanding the project. You will be probably the first employer I met who does not care about deadline, lol. Actually as it is an hourly project, if you want me work 10 hours per week then the project will be completed slower, but other hand if it is 40 hours per week then process will be much more faster. I will wait to hear from you and like to discuss the project.
Tank you.

Dear Client,
My name is Alexander.
I have 12+ years experience in programming.
I have a strong understanding of c#
I am speaking English good
I can work with you next couple of years
I can start this project immediately, I am free now.
We can discuss project in details, please write me a letter
Hi. I have 3 years of experience with C#. Though I haven't worked with tradelink or other trading software in the past, I'm a fast learner and I'll be able to pick it up fairly quickly.
English is my first language so there won't be any communication problems. I will be studying software development part-time for the next 2 years so I will have no problem dealing with intermittent jobs and I won't be leaving the software business any time soon.
I don't have many reviews on this site, but the few that are there show I produce professional work, on time. To see my non-C# reviews, just click my username.
My hourly rate is negotiable depending on the specifics of each job and the volume of work. For the first job, bug fixing, perhaps we could decide on a flat rate instead of hourly. That way you don't lose out if it takes me longer than expected to get up to speed with the codebase.
I'd love to do this work for you, so please message me if you have any questions. My local timezone is GMT+10 so don't be discouraged if I don't answer immediately (I don't think the time difference will be an issue, I can become a bit of a night owl if need be).

I do not have knowledge in trading APIs, but I do have a good knowledge on C# and willing to work on a long term project. Though I can only invest around 15-18 hrs per week as freelancing is only my part time hobby.
Hi,
Interested in this job. I have previous experience with financial markets, in fact enrolled in several competitions on Automated trading algorithms, and came second in competitions (twice). Have a few decades of experience with MS Visual Studio, experienced C# programmer. Desktop applications, forms, services, etc., are my stronger side, not so experienced in using C# for web-site development, used other languages when had to do that.
Hope we can contact further and discuss the particularities of this job. I would be willing to lower the hourly rate a bit if you can guarantee long-term arrangement. I would not be able to work for more than 15 hours/week (except for short periods if it's absolutely needed) since I have commitments to my permanent job.
Best regards,
Ivan Todorovic
I've used Tradelink in C#. I understand how the other programmer created custom feeds and pointed the API at various sites.
I've no reviews as I've mostly been an employer myself on Freelancer. I read EliteTrader, Trade2Win etc and know this industry.
There's no screenshot in the project description, by the way. I'm flexible on the rate: but I understand what this projects is about and am interested. Let me know what you think.
Regards etc
