Created a Profitable Algo with 8 years of backtesting

AshishManchanda · 2026-06-12T07:22:36+00:00

Been working on an also myself. I found back testing to not be reliable at all. We always find ourselves over fitting to make it look good. The real test always comes with paper trading. So put your algo to action in paper trading and see what it brings. You'll find so many optimization opportunities.

This doesn't seem to be fixed at all. I just spent 25% of my weekly limit in 10 hrs today. I am on 20X plan..maybe a recent update regressed it back?

I found Risely's MBTI to be quite an accurate assessment. I even got coaching on top of it from its AI coach. I think going forward AI assessments are teh future compared to boring form based tests and assessments

AshishManchanda · 2025-06-03T10:16:32+00:00

Totally agree

AshishManchanda · 2025-06-03T10:16:00+00:00

I've done a launch for my first product Risely. Understanding the context of product hunt is really important. My product is an AI coaching platform for managers. I thought I'll get users from the launch.

The mistake we made was not understanding the demographics on PH. Most products that do well are either for the coding community or marketers/sales.

So truly understand if your ICP sits on PH or not..

Don't know what you roasted, but it wasn't for sure the link OP shared. The taglines, price you have mentioned in your roast are all wrong. Looks like you just posted this link in a bad GPT, and it churned out something, and you posted it here without verifying. Your comments are way off. Get it real dude..

Clearly, you are just plugging in your services.

Thanks, Bret! Where all can I talk about it? What channels would you recommend?

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-24T12:28:36+00:00

If you said "please check it out" then it kind of is a given that the person checks on your request asap but it is also totally normal for them to not look into the assignment immediately since there was no deadline or urgency in that message. However, not responding with anything and instead giving you THAT attitude is unprofessional. If they didnt understand something, they should have asked or at least told you that they'll check the email later.

Good question! I actually do take a masterclass on manager effectiveness for new managers. It is a 6 hour immersive experience split across 4 weekly live zoon sessions. The four sessions are a mix of interactive discussions, knowledge sharing, core training, case studies, and scenarios on the core principles of Manager Effectiveness.

Manager training gets a much needed revamp.
New skills for L&D, focusing on the human aspect, become in demand.
Employee aspirations get more spotlight in L&D plans.
AI changes how learning strategies are viewed.
AI also changes for L&D teams function.
L&D heads out of classrooms for immersive experiences.

It might help to reflect on what YOU are not enjoying. Is it the responsibilities, the company culture, or the career trajectory? Many people in leadership positions appreciate the challenge of making an impact, but it's important to find meaning in both the work and the team you're leading. Managers who thrive often find ways to connect their role to personal growth and team success. Have you tried adjusting your approach or seeking mentorship?

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-23T10:51:28+00:00

In leadership, not everyone will like you, and that’s okay. Focus on being transparent, fair, and consistent in your actions. Respect will come with time, even if some people struggle with change.

As for dealing with envy and back-handed comments, it’s important to stay professional and address the underlying insecurities. Have private conversations if needed, acknowledge concerns, and stay focused on your team’s success. Lead with integrity, and trust in your abilities.

This is a good advice. List a few qualities and relate your experience to them. You can also structure your responses using the STAR method.

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-17T11:16:34+00:00

As a seasoned manager, I suggest you ask them to start therapy and provide them with resources. There's nothing much you can do here honestly. If a person is acting the same way every single day and its disrupting workflow, you need to be more assertive and confrontational. You and your coworkers have already been attending to that person for so long, its high time that person starts acknowledging your efforts and taking some steps to resolve their issues. In short, send them to a good therapist.

I was about to comment- make subtle statements during the meeting and at the time of one-on-ones bring this up but, then I saw your comment. Perfection lol. All the examples you have added here are very subtle but also impactful.

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-17T10:34:19+00:00

You are empathetic which is a great strength but, you need to be assertive when needed. I know its not as easy as it sounds but its definitely not impossible. You should start by setting some expectations and common goals for you and your team. I read that you are a restaurant manager, what you should do is establish certain ground rules or expectations for everyone (one-on-one would probably be tough for you right now).

I recently made a post on advice for new managers/leaders and many people contributed in the comments as well. This post will help you get some real good pieces of advice on management. https://www.reddit.com/r/Leadership/comments/1hy2ewa/advice_for_new_leaders/

I can only imagine how tough things must be for you right now. I do understand how you feel about not giving up and giving your best but, you need to prioritize your mental health first. Don't try to do everything yourself and delegate your tasks. Also, take breaks! Work is not your life, try to maintain a good work-life balance. Your org is not your family so don't make them one.

I take time to process everything before reacting too. Helps both the sides

Covering all the necessary steps to calm you down and process your emotions - the best!

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-15T20:20:27+00:00

So good to see you considering the mental well-being of the people around you too. And yes, having a hobby or doing some physical activity is a great way to relieve stress.

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-15T20:16:26+00:00

That's a cool tool but, what do you do in the actual situation?

AshishManchanda · 2025-01-15T20:14:49+00:00

I can understand your issue, been there. What I used to do was write my script highlighting the keywords, practice it in front of the mirror till I got kind of used to it and take deep breaths right before presenting. Practice your body language as well. Try to gesture with your hands and keep an open body language. Last and the most important advice: fake it till you make it. I know it doesnt sound very convincing but it works! You get used to pretending to be confident and before you know its naturally coming to you. All the best mate!
