Disliked...a long term project, that will probably take a couple of months...one of my stable manual strategies into an EA...had one go at this a few months back and after 2 months of development, the coder disappeared...Therefore...every major update results in the MQ5 source code being shared with me!Ignored
- while applicant id's are hidden, their stats of project count, arbitration count, and feedback are shown, and you can select which to have any interaction with
- applicants with project counts over 1000, may be groups of people and not a single person as you might expect, high arbitration counts even if the coder usually wins them are not a good sign, late completions aren't a big deal as usually it's a case of the customer not extending the project deadline and the coder not noticing but work and communication is still being done sufficiently, for any project that you consider in-depth then a project count in the low hundreds may be the sweet spot so that the coder isn't in the volume approach and may have more time to talk/workout your specs, and of course a high rating 4.9+/5 is a given for anything of importance
- you can talk with each applicant to gauge their language proficiency so that communication not an impediment
- you can talk with each applicant to gauge their understanding of what you want and how they might go about it
- you can break up your overall project into shorter deliverables, each being an individual job posting/project, but you can make personal listings too for the same coder
- projects are only completed and money given to the coder when you the customer sign off/accept the work done, albeit your payment is held with mql5 in the meantime
- projects are usually *edit-pretty much always* finalized with you receiving the source file
