    Stirling FOREX – Predictive Algorithmic Trading Engine

    End-to-end FX research, backtesting, and live execution — built for strict sim ↔ live parity.

    📊 Snapshot

    Stirling FOREX is a custom FX trading stack that combines:

    • Multi-timeframe analysis (1-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour)
    • ML-predicted indicators (RSI, Stoch K/D, Bollinger Bands, EMA filters)
    • A shared backtest + live engine so strategies aren’t rewritten twice

    The platform lets me design, test, and deploy FX strategies on hundreds of thousands of candles, then push them live with the same decision logic.

    🎯 My Role

    Architect, developer, and quant. I:

    • Designed the full pipeline: data → features → ML models → signals → execution
    • Built classic and predictive backtest engines
    • Implemented a live MT5 execution engine that mirrors backtest behavior
    • Created a Tkinter GUI for strategy config, backtest runs, and live monitoring
    • Added CSV/Excel debug logs so every trade can be traced to indicators and confluence legs

    🧠 Strategy & Risk

    The core engine runs a multi-confluence FX strategy with:

    • Trend filters (EMA 50/200), momentum (RSI, Stoch), volatility (ATR)
    • Optional session filters (London/NY), cooldowns, and “reverse logic” modes
    • ATR-based SL/TP, trailing stops, and both static and dynamic position sizing

    🧩 Tech Stack

    • Language: Python
    • Bridge: MetaTrader 5 Python API
    • Data/Features: pandas, NumPy
    • ML: XGBoost with bias-corrected regressors
    • UI: Tkinter desktop app
    • Logging: CSV + Excel debug sheets

    In short: Stirling FOREX is a single, coherent system where ML research, backtesting, and live FX execution all share one codebase and one source of truth.
