    Hey HN! I built WhatIfInvest to make it easy to answer investing “what if” questions in an approachable way for both new and seasoned investors. With it you can simulate historical returns for stocks, ETFs, or crypto, backtest custom-weighted portfolios, visualize dollar-cost averaging strategies, and share results instantly with simple links Some examples you can try include seeing how Nvidia vs. Bitcoin performed over the last 10 years, how a classic 60/40 portfolio held up, or what dollar-cost averaging $100/month into SPY since 2010 would look like. I realize these comparisons…

    Hi HN, A while ago I had a mildly depressing realization. Back in 2010, I had around $60k. Like a "responsible" person, I used it as a down payment on an apartment. Recently, out of curiosity, I calculated what would have happened if I had instead put that money into NVIDIA stock. I should probably add some context. For over 10 years I've worked as a developer on trading platforms and financial infrastructure. I made a rule for myself - never trade on the market. In 2015, when Bitcoin traded about 300 usd, my brother and I were talking about whether it was a bubble. He made a bold claim that…

    DCA is a popular strategy that consists in saving/investing the same dollar amount (let's say $250 every month) in an asset. Here's a simple, easy to use, and verifiable (code is open source) calculator so that you can brag with your friends how your portfolio outperforms bitcoin (yes, I also wished I bought NVIDIA...)

    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…

    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.
