Products that do what Quantitative Finance Tutorials (Aquarianz.com) does
Hi Y'all, for those interested in trading using quantitative finance ideas, I'm open sourcing the software I made in the past 10+ years along with a series of tutorials on YouTube which gradually introduce the concepts. It's work in progress, for now I covered the foundations (stock price movements, option valuation, the arbitrage idea and the replication technique). Next I'll introduce how to import historical market data for stocks and options along with where you can buy it for a reasonable price (you can't find free historical options data) and some basic cleanup techniques because it…

We're two software geeks trying to build our own trading simulator app for beginners which could teach some basics of technical analysis and won't be too boring. You can join the early test program here if interested: https://threeinvesteers.com/ Do you think this is a decent idea? So far we've solved the main technical challenges and built a solid backend solution for real-time prices, and also got the first feedback regarding the concept from some early users. We've polished the idea slightly using the feedback but still have some open questions. Would be great to hear your…

This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

Today we're releasing Quant (https://sourcetable.com/quant), an AI analyst that connects to 600+ exchanges with 1000+ built-in analysis tools. Andrew, CTO, has a background building software at hedge funds so we put his knowledge and experience into this application. The core idea: if you already know spreadsheets, you shouldn't need to learn Python/R or set up complex infrastructure to do serious quantitative analysis. One way to think of Quant is a low-cost Bloomberg Terminal alternative. What's inside: Portfolio optimization (including Dalio's risk parity approach),…

For the last few months I have been analysing Peter Lynch’s books on stock picking and doing prompt engineering to check if AI could create useful stock analyses. To my surprise it started making reports that allow me to understand companies much faster with well cited sources. I hope you find it interesting and useful :) Perter Lynch’s books I analyzed: Learn to earn, One up on Wall Street, Beating the street

I was a software engineer at a late stage startup and was caught in a layoff this January. When I looked into exercising my options or getting liquidity, I realized the secondary market is a total black box. Liquidity funds spend a fortune on Google Ads just to find people like us. Those high marketing costs eventually come out of our pockets in the form of higher fees and worse terms. I built StrikeRates to change that. The site is meant to be a central resource for anyone navigating this. I included a Liquidity 101 section that explains the different financial vehicles because that…

Hey HN, I'm Steve, co-founder of Factor.fyi, a new data platform for querying and visualizing financial datasets using SQL. During the pandemic, I took much more of an active role in managing my portfolio. I wanted to be able to make informed decisions about the investments I was making, and explore financial data in new ways. Market and Econ data are some of the most talked-about and widely-available datasets out there, but I was frustrated by the lack of options to answer questions I had, like, "What would have happened if I had started dollar-cost averaging VTI back in 2013?"[1] Or, "How…

Hi all, Been a while since I've posted and in the time since I have created a trading journal website where you can submit and track your trades with the USP of tracking your outgoings too. There has been a huge rise in the number of retail traders (me included) and a lot of people now have the very real possibility of quitting their day jobs and trading full time. I want to help people do that! It's still in very early stages and I'm releasing new updates daily but would be very grateful to get some other peoples feedback! Thanks in advance and hope you're all having a good day! :D

I built this simulator to study how simple trading agents interacting with an order book can create emergent patterns—volatility, clustering, even chaos—without any external shocks. It’s meant as both a research toy and teaching tool. You can run different strategies, adjust configs, and watch dynamics evolve. Curious to hear feedback from the HN crowd on features/dynamics you’d like to see added.

Hi HN, Today I'm launching the Net Worth Tracker by Flow Finance, a beautiful and minimalist Excel template that allows individuals to track their assets, liabilities, income, and spending on a monthly basis. The focus of this template is understanding long-term trends in the incoming and outgoing expenses for an individual—always with a focus on maximising insights while minimising user inputs. This project was created because the alternatives, frankly, are completely overwhelming. A friend of mine introduced me to the FIRE Movement and, after doing deep dives through Reddit, I tried to…

I posted this a few weeks ago and the server died under the traffic. Fixed that by adding an in-mem caching layer with Redis/valkey and added CloudFront caching for static content. Also upgraded the server. Also fixed the Firefox bugs, trying again. It's a research tool for US stocks. Financials for ~10k companies pulled from SEC filings. You can chart any metric across companies, filter news by ticker, ask questions in plain English and get a chart back. There's also SQL console against the whole database, which is the part I like to use together with the AI chat (generates an SQL…
