Looking for an experienced developer to build some relatively simple APIs to connect with Interactive Brokers.

The APIs are to assist me in trading intermarket spreads on various futures markets where IB’s standard combo selection is not appropriate.

This will develop into an ongoing and longer-term project, however to ensure we can work together successfully I’d first like to start with a fairly basic example.

Assuming I wish to trade a Gold/Silver futures spread. IB displays the price of this spread simply as the difference in the nominal value of each contract.
Eg, (Gold price * Multiplier) – (Silver price * Multiplier)
or (1950*100)-(23.5*50) = 77500
Instead of this, I need the spread priced as the ratio between Gold and Silver
Eg, 1950/23.5 = 82.98
I then for example need to place a limit order to buy at a ratio of 80

So the app needs to firstly display the live price ratio and then allow me to place a limit order based on the ratio value

As this is a pretty straight-forward app I’d prefer a fixed price for this job, however following the successful completion of this first project I’m happy to continue the relationship on an hourly basis if that is preferable.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions that may impact on your estimate for this job, otherwise I look forward to receiving your offer.
