Self Level • Part-time

Dec 2021 - Present • 4 yrs 7 mos

I specialize in the structured evaluation and risk profiling of algorithmic trading systems (Expert Advisors) on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. My work focuses on analyzing system robustness beyond surface-level profitability. This includes multi-month tick-data backtesting, equity curve diagnostics, drawdown compression analysis, trade distribution behavior, and capital exposure modeling. I conduct configuration comparisons to identify risk-adjusted improvements, optimize parameter sensitivity while preserving structural integrity, and assess worst-case scenarios under volatile market conditions. Additional responsibilities include: • Prop firm rule compliance evaluation (daily & overall drawdown modeling) • Session-based volatility performance analysis • Spread and execution sensitivity diagnostics • Funded account readiness assessment • MT5 live deployment and VPS configuration support My objective is to ensure that automated trading systems are structurally stable and risk-aware before live capital deployment.
