People often ask me: what exactly do you do, and what can I come to you with? I put the answer in one article: the directions, how the work goes, timelines and prices.

Who I am. Over 20 years in the market: manual trading, algorithm development, backtests. So I understand trading tasks from the inside, not only from a technical spec. I write code so that the result can be reproduced: with logs, reports and clear entry logic.

Direction 1: indicators and robots. I write in MQL4, MQL5, C# (cTrader) and Pine Script. I hand over the source or a protected build, your choice. Every bot comes with a backtest and instructions.

  • Indicator: signals, alerts, a panel, multi-timeframe. From €150, 3-7 days.
  • Trading robot (EA): entry logic, risk, trailing, news filters. From €350, 1-3 weeks.
  • Strategy porting between MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView with a behaviour check. From €200, 3-10 days.
  • Fixes and debugging of existing code. From €50 per hour.

Direction 2: websites. I build on a plain stack and on Next.js, hosted on Cloudflare, where upkeep costs almost nothing.

  • Landing page: responsive, lead form, analytics, messengers. From €200, 2-5 days.
  • Multi-page site: 5-15 pages, blog, several languages, a protected admin. From €400, 1-3 weeks.
  • Shop: catalogue, cart, card and crypto payments, automatic delivery of digital goods, receipts. From €1000, 3-6 weeks.
  • Support after launch: from €40 per hour, 30 minutes minimum.

Direction 3: bots, dashboards, integrations. Telegram bots, panels with data over an API, report automation, parsing. Price on request, depends on scope.

How the work goes:

  • Spec and agreeing the logic: a call or a chat.
  • A prototype and the first backtest on historical data.
  • Iterations: logic changes, filters, risk management.
  • Final build, backtest report, installation instructions.
  • 2 weeks of support after delivery: I fix bugs for free.

What you can look at right now. My indicators and robots (SMC Structure / OB / IDM, MA50 Sweep Grid EA, Wolfe Wave EA, Volume Profile) are in the shop: kovalev.trade/shop. The trading journal as a separate service is described here: journal overview. The kovalev.trade site is my own project too: three languages, a shop with crypto payments, automatic file delivery and a protected admin.

One caveat. No robot guarantees profit: a backtest checks the logic on history but does not promise a future result. More in How to read an EA backtest.

If you want to go deeper: How much a website costs and what drives the price, A custom site or a website builder, Porting strategies between platforms.

Describe the task in two lines and I reply within a day: kovalev.trade/development for robots and indicators, kovalev.trade/websites for websites, or Telegram @DiMSMT.
