Forex Alert Java App

We are looking for a custom java-based software application (that can run on Windows & Mac) for the Forex markets that performs as follows: * Display the 6 major Forex pairs as 4-hour candlestick bar charts. * Apply 4 custom technical trading methods to these 6 charts. Each method will output a trade alert which will be displayed as a green or red arrow for a particular bar. When a trade alert occurs, the following data will be output: -specific entry order -specific stop loss order -specific profit target orders (2) * Data feed accuracy is critical. You should propose a data feed solution. * This app will NOT keep track of trade positions and exits. Only the initial orders as specified above are needed. * This app will NOT interface with brokers, although that might be a potential future enhancement. Ideally, you have a base framework for which to base this app on so you aren't creating from scratch. This should be a very easy job for you if you have experience and know what you're doing. ## Deliverables ** READ THIS FOR FULL DETAILS ** We are looking for a custom java-based software application (that can run on Windows & Mac) for the Forex markets that performs as follows: * Display the 6 major Forex pairs as 4-hour candlestick bar charts. * Apply 4 custom technical trading methods to these 6 charts. Each method will output a trade alert which will be displayed as a green or red arrow for a particular bar. When a trade alert occurs, the following data will be output: -specific entry order -specific stop loss order -specific profit target orders (2) * If multiple alerts occur for a particular bar, they should be sorted in order of entry order price closest to current price in order to give a sense of which orders are most likely to be filled. * When the app starts, the methods must be back-applied and the charts should show the past 10-bars worth of historical alerts. * The app must be able to be configured to send email alerts as well as SMS/text alerts to U.S. & international users. * Performance/speed is important and should be a priority. * Data feed accuracy is critical. You should propose a data feed solution. * There should be a configuration section that will allow the user to select which method to apply to each of the 6 charts, and what kind of alerts to receive (arrows on the charts, popup window, email, sms). * When the app starts, the user should be prompted to enter their email address. Authentication will then be performed against our database. We will give you a web url which will return authentication information, which will be at the trading method level. If a user doesn't have access to a particular method, that method will be 'greyed out' in the configuration section. * Authentication should be re-checked each time the app is started as well as every Saturday. * When there is a new version of the software available, the app should detect this and prompt the user to auto install. * This app will NOT keep track of trade positions and exits. Only the initial orders as specified above are needed. * This app will NOT interface with brokers, although that might be a potential future enhancement. There is a lot of room for future enhancements to this app. We actually have a production app that does most of this developed in C# only for Windows, but we not happy with the performance and would like to start fresh with a cross-platform solution. Ideally, you have a base framework for which to base this app on so you aren't creating from scratch. This should be a very easy job for you if you have experience and know what you're doing.
