I need an end-to-end solution that links DeepSeek’s signal engine with MetaTrader 5 so that trades can be fired automatically from a VPS. The very first milestone is wiring up the DeepSeek API— once that data is flowing, the rest of the logic can be layered on. Environment • You will spin up a fresh VPS, harden it with a VPN tunnel and key-based access. • Basic firewall rules and an up-to-date OS are assumed; no need for enterprise-grade audits at this stage. Core build • Use the MetaTrader5 Python library to pull tick and bar data. • Reformat the feed and post it to DeepSeek; handle any authentication or rate-limit headers the API requires. • Parse the JSON response and translate the signals into market, limit, or stop orders, placing them via the MT5 terminal running on the same VPS. • Every order must include configurable stop-loss and take-profit levels, adjustable from a single settings file or ENV variables. Acceptance test 1. From a demo MT5 account, change the symbol in the config file and restart the script; data should re-route without manual tweaks. 2. Force the script into a dry-run mode; orders should be logged but not sent. 3. In live mode, a sample DeepSeek “BUY” should hit the platform and be visible in the MT5 trade window within two seconds. 4. SL/TP modify commands must succeed on first attempt. Deliverables - Python source with clear comments - A one-command deploy script (bash or Ansible) that provisions the VPS and schedules the bot as a service - Brief README covering setup, required Python packages, and where to drop API keys I’m happy to install my own DeepSeek and broker credentials once your hand-over checklist is complete; please build everything else so I can plug-and-play.
