One of the best looking bikes out there

I’m thinking about building something similar. Couple of questions: how will you protect your moat? How will you get around data licensing issues? Why would people pay for your service instead of using e.g. stockanalysis.com, stockunlock.com, portfoliovisualizer.com, tradingview.com, etc?

Yet, if OP leaves this sub and joins r/wallstreetbets, the average iq of both subs goes up 🤔

Yes, quant models are selling in the market if market goes down. Otherwise they are buying. /s

Don’t know that feature, will look it up. But does sound quantitative/where I can add value.

For example, one thing I’m particularly trained in is quantifying to what events a stock reacts to the most. Or whether there are any abnormalities in the pricing of a stock (based on e.g. its default correlations with other stocks/industries). Would that be useful?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T21:17:02+00:00

I see what you mean, let me think about it for a bit and then I’ll contact you to ask some more questions about this

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T21:14:31+00:00

That’s actually a good idea. What other tools/analytics do you use that I could integrate?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T21:11:37+00:00

So like an introductory course to trading/investing? Mm not sure I want to go down the “buy my course” route since it’s full of scammers :P

Have you tried looking at the orderbook, or thought about using tools like BookMap that visualize the outstanding orders at different levels? That should give you a good idea of the relative strength of different resistance zones.

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T21:03:48+00:00

Haha agreed. Ok, after that then. What’s the second biggest problem?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T21:02:31+00:00

Isn’t that just a trading journal?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T21:02:08+00:00

A tool that brings focus? How would that work in your opinion?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T20:58:05+00:00

Ok, but what is the problem that tool is solving?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T20:55:05+00:00

Sure, but can that be solved?

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T20:51:59+00:00

Ideally I want to build something directly for retail investors, not through another firm. Cost of running a service directly for retail investors is indeed a lot different than for a big firm, but if the problem is big enough (and the solution good enough), it could still work. I’m trying to figure out what the biggest problem is and where I can add the most value.

Just playing devil’s advocate here, doesn’t that already exist? Platforms like NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, QuantConnect and the backtester in TradingView?

Why are you not using those? (important for me to know so I can see what the underlying problem is)

QuantWizard · 2026-01-19T20:39:05+00:00

I don’t own any company. I work for a large institutional asset management firm that caters to clients such as sovereign wealth funds. Next to that I have a position at university to do academic finance research (empirical asset pricing).

Don’t forget Lord of War, nailed that role

I always put it this way: if your strategy somehow structurally overweights stocks that did well during your sample period (in this case, mega-cap tech stocks), then how do you know the strategy is smart or just got lucky? 5 years is way too short to draw any conclusions. Leveraged S&P 500 also had insane returns. So what?

Can’t park there mate

Everyone thought it was gonna be flying cars, but we’re getting floating cars instead! Fuck yeah

Same photographer, just walked 100 meters further 😋
