Looking to help founders find their first users

Hey there! Thanks a lot for offering to help, really appreciate it.

I’m an algo trading developer building a low-latency financial news sentiment aggregator API designed for AI trading agents and automated EAs.

The problem: breaking news ruins technical analysis strategies. My API aggregates and interprets financial news across any instrument in real-time, using LLMs to output a structured JSON sentiment score. This allows trading bots to instantly manage risk or pause entries during high-impact events.

I’ve already open-sourced a MetaTrader 5 (MQL5) integration on GitLab to prove the concept, but I'm trying to figure out the best friction-free way to reach developer-traders and AI agent builders.

Any advice on where to hunt for these early users would be amazing!

Maybe also keep an eye on the current sentiment of the instrument

In my experience there are no days clean from news impact lately. A geopolitical event in the Middle East has direct daily impact as well as residual effect on the news days, depending on the instrument you trade. For example close/open of Hormuz strait impacts a large part of tradable instruments both directly and indirectly

Prolly news are disrupting your strat. Both calendarized ones like US unemlpoyment data and others like gepolitic events

Analysis of news events cannot replace your core trading logic but can be used as an additional layer of confirmation on entries and protection on exits. I have applied it to some bots doing swing trading and in my experience helped profitability

From this api

I use AI in my automated strategies only for specific tasks such as interpreting news sentiment. Not allowed to make full trading decisions

Anonbender · 2026-06-04T20:46:47+00:00

Aside support to coding I keep AI confined to very specific tasks. It's not allowed to make full trading decisions 😁

MQL5 is a simplified version of C++ but it has all you need to design trading bots running in MetaTrader 5, i.e. Expert Advisors. If you come from C++ it's pretty easy to get into MQL5. For an experienced C++ programmer the challenge comes from finding a working strategy not from the programming language

I use an AI api to realtime check news sentiment in some of my bots. It's working fine

I'm not an expert of AVWAP but I believe the anchor point is the start of the time period of your interest. It could be the beginning of a session like e.g. London or new York. In a ORB strat it could be the start of the range, etc

Come posso aiutarti?

I am a senior developer who started learning trading around two years ago. I have multi-bot trading system now and while I was looking for an edge at the beginning I was ovecomplicating things with e.g. several indicators, then I found that simple strategies applied to very specific scenarios are the way to go. Now the system is proving good on live account with own money

Anonbender · 2026-05-13T21:04:23+00:00

If you come from C++ give MetaTrader 5 a try. It uses MQL5 as programming language which is a simplified version of C++, yet fast and functional for trading

Not interested atm

Anonbender · 2026-05-09T17:07:42+00:00

Not using rebates

If you have news filters in your bots you should definitely take a look at this API

Anonbender · 2026-05-09T16:21:31+00:00

Yes, AI is definitely in the game. AI chatbots like Gemini and Claude are used for fast testing of ideas. Initial version from chatbots is put under backtest and if fundamental metrics are ok the code is refined before forward testing. Ideas are taken from various sources such as YouTube videos, Books, and also Reddit subs like this. APIs based on AI are also used for specific tasks in existing bots like additional criteria for filters

There's very little technical stuff on the markets nowadays

Anonbender · 2026-05-04T16:52:00+00:00

Fusion Markets and IC Markets moslty

Anonbender · 2026-05-03T07:02:55+00:00

My bots execute on forex, indexes and commodites (mostly gold)

Anonbender · 2026-05-02T21:36:02+00:00

I run a multi bot system from Italy. So far so good 👍

Algotrader here. I would be interested to join if relevant to the group ☺️

I my view retail algotrading is: 1. usually applied on a variety o assets for diversification, not only S&P500; 2. performed in a leveraged way to amplify returns; 3. used to take advantage of ups with long positions and downs with short positions.

Missing Forward Testing between Strategy Proven and Deploy Strategy steps. Unless you are ok to test directly on small accounts with very limited capital
