    Indicator Creation Estimate

    I am curious what the going rate for Indicator and Strategy creation is?

    For example, I would like an Indicator that highlights trades based on a few rules that can be variables in the Indicator. After writing this I realize it is longer than I thought, so if you don't have time or want to review this just to give me an estimate I completely understand. Any direction of where to go to ask this question would be greatly appreciated.

    Variables:
    String NameOfTradeFormation = ability to name multiple versions of this indicator differently and based on different variable settings they would all highlight based on different rules
    Int NumberOfCandles = number of candles in Trade Formation (between 3 and 6)
    Bool Continuation = if this trade formation works with continuations
    Bool Reversal = if this trade formation works with reversals
    Int EMA1 = EMA value to test off of
    Int EMA2 = used to test void must be larger than EMA1
    Int EMA3 = used to test void must be larger than EMA2
    Bool EMAOrder = if the EMA must be in the correct order or not (correct order defined as EMA1 above EMA2 above EMA3 when buying & EMA3 above EMA2 above EMA1 when selling
    Bool Void = if this trade formation works when touching, otherwise don't take trades when any part of the trade formation touches EMA1, 2 or 3
    Bool EMA2Bad = if any part of the trade formation can touch the EMA2 or not
    Bool EMA3Bad = if any part of the trade formation can touch the EMA3 or not
    Int EMAdeg = degrees EMA must be greater than or less than to take the trade (greater than if continuation, less than if reversal)
    Float PercRangeEMAMin = minimum percentage of range the closest part of the current trade formation is away from the EMA1 listed above (can be negative, and go above 100%) (for example if you are 5 ticks away from EMA1 at range 10 you are 50%)
    Float PercRangeEMAMax = maximum percentage of range the closest part of the current trade formation is away from the EMA1 listed above (can be negative, and go above 100%)
    Int NumberCandlesPrior = number of candles prior to the trade that must exist prior to the trade that is higher or lower than trade dip
    Int Gaps = Number of candles prior to Trade formation that must not have Gaps (defined as you already defined in your RangeBarGap Indicator)
    Int LastPeak = ticks since last micro peak,
    Float CandlePWickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of candle previous to Trade Formation that can be wick
    Float CandlePWickMinPerc = minimum percentage of candle previous to Trade Formation that can be wick
    Float Candle1WickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of the first candle of the trade formation that can be wick
    Float Candle1WickMinPerc = minimum percentage of the first candle of the trade formation that can be wick
    Float Candle2WickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of the second candle of the trade formation that can be wick
    Float Candle2WickMinPerc = minimum percentage of the second candle of the trade formation that can be wick
    Float Candle3WickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of the third candle of the trade formation that can be wick - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 3
    Float Candle3WickMinPerc = minimum percentage of the third candle of the trade formation that can be wick - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 3
    Float Candle4WickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of the fourth candle of the trade formation that can be wick - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 4
    Float Candle4WickMinPerc = minimum percentage of the fourth candle of the trade formation that can be wick - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 4
    Float Candle5WickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of the fifth candle of the trade formation that can be wick - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 5
    Float Candle5WickMinPerc = minimum percentage of the fifth candle of the trade formation that can be wick - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 5
    Float CandleTWickMaxPerc = maximum percentage of the first candle of the trade formation that can be wick
    Float CandleTWickMinPerc = minimum percentage of the trade candle of the trade formation that can be wick
    Float CandleP1OverlapMax = maximum percentage overlap candle 1 and candle P have
    Float CandleP1OverlapMin = minimum percentage overlap candle 1 and candle P have
    Float Candle12OverlapMax = maximum percentage overlap candle 2 and candle 1 have
    Float Candle12OverlapMin = minimum percentage overlap candle 2 and candle 1 have
    Float Candle23OverlapMax = maximum percentage overlap candle 3 and candle 2 have - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 3
    Float Candle23OverlapMin = minimum percentage overlap candle 3 and candle 2 have - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 3
    Float Candle34OverlapMax = maximum percentage overlap candle 4 and candle 3 have - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 4
    Float Candle34OverlapMin = minimum percentage overlap candle 4 and candle 3 have - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 4
    Float Candle45OverlapMax = maximum percentage overlap candle 5 and candle 4 have - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 5
    Float Candle45OverlapMin = minimum percentage overlap candle 5 and candle 4 have - Only shows up if NumberOfCandles is above 5
    Float CandleTOverlapMax = maximum percentage overlap candle Trade and candle prior to Trade candle have
    Float CandleTOverlapMin = minimum percentage overlap candle Trade and candle prior to Trade candle have
    Bool CongestionBad = if congestion prior to Trade Formation is okay (Congestion defined as more than 3 candles with more than 80% overlap, for example, 4 full candles back and forth

    Wow, after writing this down I realize why it has been hard for me to do this visually by memory

    Depending on how the Indicator works I would be interested in purchasing a strategy based on this as well.

    Thank you for reading this far
    Have a wonderful day!
