Title Senior Trading Bot Developer (IBKR Required) — Fix or Rebuild System into Reliable AI Trading Engine Overview I am looking for a highly experienced trading bot developer with proven experience using the Interactive Brokers (IBKR) API to either: Fix and stabilize an existing trading bot, OR Rebuild it from scratch if that is the better approach The current system is already fully built but unreliable. It frequently fails to execute trades correctly and cannot be trusted in its current state. Your role is to turn this into a fully working, execution-reliable trading system that: Executes Discord-based trade alerts flawlessly Uses an AI-powered decision layer to manage trades Continuously improves performance over time Important — Read Before Applying Your bid will be automatically ignored if you do not include clear proof of prior relevant work. This includes at least one of the following: Live or paper trading bot you have built (with execution proof) IBKR-based system you have worked on Screenshots or logs showing real trade execution PnL results or performance data Generic applications, theoretical knowledge, or ChatGPT-generated proposals without proof will not be considered. Current Situation The bot has been built with significant effort and includes: Discord ingestion Trade parser and classifier IBKR execution layer Position management system AI decision layer (Persistent Trader concept) However: Execution is inconsistent Orders fail, hang, or misfire AI layer is not yet reliable System is not safe for real capital In short: everything exists, but it does not work reliably in production. What You Need to Deliver 1. Execution Reliability (Top Priority) 100% reliable order execution via IBKR No silent failures or missed trades Clear logging for: order lifecycle failures and reasons Must properly handle: reconnects partial fills pre-market conditions halts and low liquidity situations 2. Discord → Trade Pipeline Real-time ingestion of Discord alerts Accurate parsing of trade intent: buy trim exit stop updates Immediate and correct execution 3. AI-Powered Trade Management Implement or stabilize an AI decision layer that can: Decide when to: trim exit raise stop loss hold React to: momentum changes failed breakouts volatility shifts Also support: repeated scalping cycles (buy → trim → re-enter → repeat) This must be functional, not theoretical. 4. Self-Improving System (Critical) The system must include a feedback loop where: All trades and decisions are logged AI reviews: past decisions outcomes missed opportunities The system should improve over time, for example: better exit timing smarter trims improved re-entry logic 5. Scalp System (Advanced) The bot must support setups such as: “Accumulating between $1.10–$1.04” “Scalp between $1.10–$1.20” Meaning: continuous price monitoring optimal entry detection within a range multiple trade cycles on the same ticker Proof of Work Required You will not be paid based on code alone. You must demonstrate: Phase 1 — Paper Trading Multiple days of consistent execution All valid Discord alerts executed correctly Positive or improving PnL No major failures Phase 2 — Live Trading Transition to real capital Continued execution stability Evidence of profitability or measurable improvement Technical Requirements Mandatory: Strong experience with IBKR API Experience building real trading bots that have executed trades Deep understanding of: order routing market microstructure pre-market behavior Preferred: Python trading systems Async/event-driven architecture AI/ML in trading systems Experience building adaptive or self-improving systems Flexibility You may: Fix the existing system OR rebuild from scratch You must justify your approach. To Apply Your proposal must include: Your experience with IBKR trading bots Links, screenshots, or logs showing real execution Any PnL proof or performance data Your approach (fix vs rebuild) Proposals without proof will be ignored. Compensation Flexible: Fixed Milestone-based Performance-based Open to structuring based on results. Final Note This is not a beginner project. This requires someone who understands both trading systems and real-world execution reliability. The goal is to take an advanced but unreliable system and turn it into a stable, profitable, continuously improving trading engine.

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A HIGH-STAKES IBKR TRADING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS REAL EXECUTION RELIABILITY, NOT JUST CODE. I have 10+ years of experience building event-driven trading systems in Python with IBKR API, including live execution bots with order lifecycle tracking, Discord signal ingestion, and position management. I have worked on systems handling partial fills, reconnect logic, and pre-market volatility conditions with detailed logging and failover handling. For your case, I will first audit the current system to identify failure points (execution layer, async handling, or state sync). If the core is unstable, I will rebuild using a clean event-driven architecture ensuring reliable order routing, retry mechanisms, and full traceable logs. Flow: Discord → parser → validation → execution engine → IBKR → confirmation → state sync → AI layer → feedback loop. Core improvements: • 100% execution tracking (no silent failures) • Robust reconnect + retry logic • Real-time position/state management • AI layer for trade decisions (trim, exit, re-entry) • Continuous learning loop with trade logs + outcome analysis • Scalp engine with range-based execution & multiple cycles I will first deliver paper trading validation with logs + PnL tracking, then move to live deployment after stability confirmation. I eagerly await your positive response. Thanks

Hello, I can stabilize or fully rebuild your IBKR-based trading system into a reliable, production-grade execution engine with strict focus on order reliability, logging integrity, and deterministic trade execution. I have experience building event-driven Python trading systems with broker API integration, including handling async order flows, reconnect logic, and real-time signal ingestion pipelines. My approach would start with a full audit of the current architecture to identify failure points in execution, Discord ingestion, and AI decision routing. Based on that, I would either harden the existing stack or rebuild it into a modular, fault-tolerant system with clear separation between: signal layer (Discord), execution layer (IBKR), and strategy/AI layer. This ensures no silent failures and full traceability of every trade event. For reliability, I will implement robust order state tracking, retry logic, failover handling, and detailed execution logs (order lifecycle, fills, rejects). The AI layer will be constrained to structured decision outputs with feedback loops based on historical trade performance, enabling gradual improvement in entries, exits, and scalping behavior without compromising execution safety. Thanks, Asif

Hi, I’ve built and stabilized IBKR-based trading systems with real execution (stocks/options) using Python + async architectures. I understand the exact failure modes you’re describing—order hangs, missed fills, race conditions, and unreliable state handling—and how to fix them at the execution layer, not just patch symptoms. Relevant work: • IBKR bot (paper + live) with full order lifecycle tracking, partial fill handling, and reconnect-safe execution (can share logs/screenshots) • Discord/Telegram signal ingestion → structured trade engine → IBKR execution • PnL tracking + decision logging + post-trade analysis pipelines My approach: I will first audit your system. If the execution layer is structurally flawed (likely), I’ll rebuild a reliable core execution engine (idempotent orders, state machine, retry logic, full logging). Then reattach Discord ingestion and stabilize the pipeline. For the AI layer, I’ll implement a decision engine with feedback loop (logged trades → evaluation → improved rules/ML signals), focusing on measurable improvements (exits, trims, re-entries). Key priorities: • 100% execution reliability (no silent failures) • Deterministic order handling (fills, halts, pre-market) • Clear logging + replay/debug capability • Scalp-cycle support (multi-entry/exit per ticker) I’ll provide proof of execution stability before moving to live capital.

Your IBKR bot is failing because the order lifecycle isn't handling async state transitions correctly. When Discord fires a trim alert during a partial fill, your system probably doesn't know whether to cancel, modify, or queue - so it does nothing or double-executes. I've debugged this exact failure mode in 3 production trading systems. Before I recommend fix vs rebuild, I need clarity on two things: Are you using TWS API or Client Portal Gateway? If you're polling order status instead of subscribing to execution callbacks, that's why you're missing fills during fast moves. What's your current AI decision layer built on - is it rule-based logic pretending to be AI, or are you actually training models on historical trade outcomes and feeding live market data into inference? Here's the execution path I'd implement: IBKR API INTEGRATION: Replace polling with event-driven order management using execDetails callbacks, implement idempotent order IDs to prevent duplicate entries, and add circuit breakers that halt trading if 3+ consecutive orders fail within 60 seconds. DISCORD PIPELINE: Build a message queue (Redis or RabbitMQ) between Discord ingestion and execution layer so alerts don't get dropped during IBKR reconnects, parse trade intent using regex + NLP validation to catch malformed alerts before they hit the order router. AI DECISION LAYER: Log every trade with entry context (momentum, volume profile, spread), exit reason, and PnL into PostgreSQL, then train a gradient boosting model weekly on features like time-held vs profit to optimize trim timing - this isn't theoretical, I've built this for a prop desk that reduced drawdown by 22%. SCALP LOGIC: Implement limit order laddering within your accumulation range with dynamic repricing based on L2 order book depth, cancel and replace stale orders every 500ms to stay competitive at the inside bid. I've built 4 IBKR-connected systems that executed $12M+ in live volume across equities and options. I don't take projects where the requirements assume AI will magically work without proper feature engineering and backtesting infrastructure. Let's schedule a 20-minute technical call where you screen-share the current codebase and I'll tell you whether this needs surgery or amputation.

Hi, I’m Karthik from Resonite Tech with 15+ years of experience in Python, event-driven systems, trading workflows, automation, and production-grade backend engineering. Your requirement is not just bot development — it is a reliability, execution, and risk-control problem. My approach would be to first audit the current stack end-to-end: Discord ingestion, parser/classifier, IBKR execution flow, order-state handling, position management, and AI decision logic. Based on findings, I would recommend either targeted stabilization or a clean rebuild if the current architecture is too brittle. I can help deliver: Stable Discord → trade pipeline Robust IBKR execution with retry/reconnect handling Clear lifecycle logging and failure diagnostics Handling for partial fills, halts, pre-market, liquidity issues AI decision layer for trim/exit/hold/re-entry logic Feedback loop with trade/outcome logging for continuous improvement Paper-trading validation before live rollout Preferred stack: Python, async/event-driven architecture, structured logs, rule + AI hybrid management, and strong safety controls before real-capital deployment. I understand you require proof of relevant work. I’m happy to discuss my directly relevant automation/trading-system engineering experience and proposed validation process in detail.

Hi, I am a Python trading systems developer with 8 years of rich experience with a background in execution-critical automation and broker API integrations. I am familiar with Python, IBKR API, async event-driven architecture, Discord integrations, and AI decision systems. For this project, the most important part is execution reliability, because a trading engine is useless if orders fail, hang, or misfire under real conditions. I can audit the full Discord -> parser -> IBKR -> position-management flow, fix the weak points or rebuild the engine if needed, and add strong logging, reconnect handling, partial-fill logic, and safe state recovery. I can also stabilize the AI trade-management layer with a feedback loop so decisions are logged, reviewed, and improved over time in paper trading before any live rollout. I'm an individual freelancer and can work on any time zone you want. Please contact me with the best time for you to have a quick chat. Looking forward to discussing more details. Thanks. Emile.

Hey, I’ve built and run Python trading bots on Binance futures (live + demo), including AI-driven decision layers and full execution pipelines. I can share logs with real fills and order flow. This looks like a broken execution/state issue, not just strategy. IBKR needs strict event-driven handling — right now your bot is likely desynced between signals, orders, and actual fills. I’d either stabilize or rebuild the execution core: - reliable order lifecycle tracking (no hangs/misfires) - reconnect + retry logic - clean state management (positions/orders always in sync) - solid logging for every action Once execution is stable, I’ll fix the decision layer and add a feedback loop so it actually improves over time. If you share the code or logs, I’ll quickly tell you whether it’s worth fixing or rebuilding.

With a background in both software development and data science, I am not only well-versed in the IBKR API but also have intricate knowledge of order routing and market microstructure that is crucial for creating a reliable trading bot. What sets me apart is my experience in developing adaptive systems, which I believe can be key in turning your current underperforming bot into a proactive, self-improving AI trading engine. My previous works showcase my ability to design and execute robust trading strategies through careful data analysis and utilization of statistical models. In terms of execution reliability, I understand the importance of handling reconnects, partial fills, pre-market conditions, halts, and low liquidity situations for seamless operations. Moreover, integrating real-time ingestion of Discord alerts with precise trade parsing capability would ensure timely and accurate trades. Although the AI layer is currently faltering, rest assured that I'm ready to stabilize it by utilizing my expertise in machine learning algorithms.
