Quantitative Finance Tutorials (Aquarianz.com)
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…

- IQI quit coding years ago. AI brought me backJan 2026 · calquio.com · ▲314
Quick background: I used to code. Studied it in school, wrote some projects, but eventually convinced myself I wasn't cut out for it. Too slow, too many bugs, imposter syndrome — the usual story. So I pivoted, ended up as an investment associate at an early-stage angel fund, and haven't written real code in years. Fast forward to now. I'm a Buffett nerd — big believer in compound interest as a mental model for life. I run compound interest calculations constantly. Not because I need to, but because watching numbers grow over 30-40 years keeps me patient when markets get wild. It's basically…

Quantifying opportunity cost with a deliberately "simple" web appFeb 2026 · shouldhavebought.com · ▲28Hi 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…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
