Products that do what MesoSim – DSL for Options Trading does
Hello, I quit my engineering job in 2021 to fully focus on trading. After a year of limited success with stocks (algos floating around break-even) I started studying Options. It turned out that selling options (risk premia harvesting) is a sound approach for income generation. Back in the day there were no suitable automated backtesters to effectively study these trades, so I built one: I infused JSON with Lua to create a Job Definition which models how Options Traders build, adjust and hedge their positions. Fast forward to today, many retail traders and small hedge funds are using MesoSim…

Hello HN crowd. I worked on this project on weekends and evenings. I'm excited I made it into a presentable MVP, and it is so satisfying. I would like to get some honest feedback from this great community. I made https://freeoptionscreener.com/, to scratch a personal itch. I myself trade options as a hobby, and I didn't find a screener that satisfies my need to be able to explore raw options data freely and without preset constraints. So I made this app that allows playing with options market data and extract interesting opportunities. The techs used: - Laravel + Jquery +…

Hey everyone! I am an enthusiast trader and a year ago I had this idea to create a free-to-use website that would feature all the most essential tools that traders would use on a daily basis. So I learned to code and build it—I did everything including design, texts, code, and SEO—which took me 12 months to launch and a year and a half to make it look like it currently does. I was into marketing and design before, but I didn't know barely anything about coding. The website is built using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Typescript with Framer Motion animations and lots of APIs. I’m actively…

hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

Hi HN, I'm a solo dev and for the last few months I've been building Hikaro, a tool to find statistically significant trading signals for [e.g., US equities, crypto, forex]. I built this to solve my own problem: I was tired of backtests that looked great on paper but failed in practice. Simple metrics like "win rate" can be misleading, so I wanted a way to quickly tell if a signal's performance was genuine or just noise. Hikaro ingests daily market data and runs statistical analysis on various trading signals. The goal is to surface signals with strong properties, like: Low p-value: Evidence…

Bonjour HN! I lead the product efforts at DSLA Protocol, a peer-to-peer third-party risk management infrastructure for developers and their communities. tl;dr I wanted to share news about our ongoing hackathon and ways to get started! DSLA Protocol lets anyone manufacture and package their own insurance, or add insurance to any existing product and service offerings. Within hours. Like a factory, but for customer protection and service differentiation. We designed DSLA Protocol as a decentralised alternative to service-level agreements (SLA). Instead of using offline legal documents with a…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS EC2 spend by buying and selling 3-year no-upfront reserved instances. Why? Because there's almost no liquidity on the AWS EC2 RI Marketplace and it can take a while, if at all, to sell an RI if you need to stop using one. Previous to founding Usage, I worked at JPMorgan Chase as a summer analyst. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically, typically we do this live…

Hi HN! I brought my favorite game from Palm OS to the web as a hobby project. In Space Trader, you can trade goods, hunt bounties, amass a fortune, buy a moon and retire. One of the parts of this project I enjoyed the most: To aid debugging and unit testing, I use a deterministic random number generator called GameRand. In debug mode, I can capture the random seed and log of every action taken in the game. Then I can replay that to reproduce a bug or create a test. I ended up creating nearly exhaustive test coverage this way. A write-up with more technical details and links to source code:…

Hey HN! Excited to show off Yuzu, the stock market and Crypto API we wish we always had. We built Yuzu to solve a problem we had while working on a prior project: current market data APIs are not built to enable rapid prototyping and scaling without a significant amount of upfront data engineering. In our previous app, a portfolio tracker, we had to ingest 30 years of historical data for stocks, crypto, ETFs, and mutual funds just so that we could re-expose that data to our frontend in a more efficient way. The number of API calls we would have had to make otherwise have made the app…
