Hello! I'm the man for the job! Trader, Coder and Quantitative Researcher with 3+ years experience. Python is my language of choice and Backtrader is my current backtesting framework. I have not used it for live trading yet, but that should be pretty simple given that Oanda is supported for live trading out of the box. I can complete the test and send over in 2 days time while I finish some projects I am currently working on. Let me know what you want to do and if you can, message me to discuss questions and details for moving forward.
