A1 · The lead: algorithmic trading

Trading systems that move real money.

I turn complex trading strategies into reliable, scalable software for traders and institutions worldwide.

By Amr Sakr, Software Engineer & Trading Systems Architect

For 8+ years I have built the software between a trading idea and the market: custom MetaTrader Expert Advisors in MQL4 and MQL5, Pine Script indicators, trade copiers and signal systems, and cloud-native platforms that process thousands of trades daily.

What sets the work apart is the pairing: deep trading domain knowledge and robust software engineering. I sharpened my engineering craft in Germany. Today, from Egypt, I lead a boutique team of skilled Egyptian engineers.

The record: 195+ projects delivered across Freelancer.com and Upwork, clients in 20+ countries, and 60%+ of them come back for more.

Amr was professional, approachable and quick to grasp my trading strategy objectives and EA design. He communicated progress updates regularly and was happy to join video calls. The project was delivered early and on budget. I have worked with many developers over the years and Amr is right up there.
