How do you charge?

Charges are fixed per project, not per hour. Therefore, once you receive a quote for a project, it is a fixed cost for the programming (unless the project specifications change). The minimum charge for a project is $60. Full payment is due in advance for all projects.


 

What is the typical cost?

While prices vary significantly, a "typical" trading system or indicator can be programmed for less than $300. However, it is not rare for the price to exceed that amount, which is why I provide free estimates and fixed cost pricing.


 

How long does it take?

For typical projects the average turn around time is 2 business days or less. Larger projects can take longer based on complexity.


 

What if there are bugs in the program?

While I do my best to avoid them, bugs happen. Bug fixes are included in the cost. Any bugs reported within a month of delivery will be fixed no questions asked. If reported more than a month after delivery, it is handled on a case by case basis. Some bugs can be a result of Windows Updates, upgrades to the trading platforms, etc., which is why I have to put a limit on the debugging period.


 

Who owns the IP once development is completed?

Unlike many of my competitors, you will own the IP for any projects that I do for you. I will provide you with all of the source code, and you are free to do anything you would like to with it.
