Project Description
I already have a solid chunk of Python code that connects to my FXCM account, but it still needs to be transformed into a fully-functioning, automated FX trading bot. The core approach is straightforward: follow the prevailing trend on each currency pair while letting news and world-event data drive the decision on whether to enter, scale, or exit a position. All development must stay within Python so that my existing scripts, parameters, and API keys slot straight in.
Here is what I still need:
• Complete the remaining modules (order management, dynamic risk sizing, error handling).
• Wire everything cleanly to FXCM’s REST API—orders must flow to both demo and live accounts at the flip of a flag.
• Implement the trend-following logic I specify, then layer in a lightweight news/world-events filter (your choice of news API or scraping method, so long as it is reliable and can be called programmatically).
• Return a single, self-contained repo with clear docstrings and a short README that lets me spin it up locally, run back-tests, and deploy.
I will provide my existing Python files, the parameter sheet, and test credentials as soon as we start. If you can show prior FXCM or similar brokerage integrations, that will help me jump straight to awarding the project.
