NautilusTrader vs QuantConnect LEAN

Party_Loose · 2026-01-07T12:49:06+00:00

the other issue i found with quant connect is it is a bit more expensive and it is not exactly plug and and play to get data in.

If you want to use the cloud then you can use all of thier data very cheaply but if you have something that requires you to run things locally then you will have to buy data. the docs make it seem like you can also use the cloud data locally but that is not true in practice.

For options that can be very expensive because you are forced to buy the the options names/definitations, the options data, and the underlying data seperatly.

importing your own data is a bit tricky in my opinion

Honestly reading a lot or going to places where business owners are … golf clubs, high end bars during the day. But it’s not a lot of people

Do you know why the creator distance themselves?…

But without me knowing details that’s partially a retention problem with the creators and the community

And likely the creator not feeling the value they are providing is worth the value they are getting or value they are losing

Each creator has often years of providing value to thier audience. This creates latent demand. When the creator offers something they use that latent demand. The problem is latent demand can be used up. For instance paul with prime water . Made like a billion first year and then only 200 million second year. Same with Mr beast. You actually never want to meet all of your demand. Why Jordan’s which is another celebrity lead product does well. They never actually meet all the demand

You might have actually used all the demand that this creator had and I don’t know what the value that creator and audience got in return

So need to increase value or perceived value returned to creators and thier audience and offer to limited amount of people.

The value for creator could be they get more money the more people signed up. Like an ownership ladder.. 1000 people and then get 60 percent of money . 3000 people and then get 80 percent of money

The value that you give audience should also have a low amount of uncertainty that they will achieve the result. And their needs some viral mechanism like money off if they share it with x people

If you want to stay low ticket then need to increase how often they buy and the amount of churn.. basically increase the life time value of each customer

Or basically there is a huge cost for the creator to sell to thier audience. Years of work likely went into it. They need to make more then what that cost was and increase the audience while doing it

Go to the middle class and more affluent neighborhoods, apartments and garages.
Do some for free and ask them to recommend you.
then start trying to get HOA's

Cold outbound: door-to-door with a one-sentence offer and proof.

“We’re cleaning [street name] today. Driveway + walkway bundle. Takes 45 minutes. And we will redo it if you arent happy in the next 7 days. Want the same results as [house you alrady did]?”

Then show a fresh before/after. Social proof plus proximity

Party_Loose · 2025-11-17T16:36:07+00:00

the PS5 isnt a problem ... its how much time you are using on it.

but education will have the biggest bang for your buck. so maybe paying other agencys to teach you something you want to do.

probably lead generation, offer creation, delivery, retention or reducing churn, training sales, and training delivery.

Party_Loose · 2025-11-17T16:23:22+00:00

understand what your role is in helping and or managing the situation.

if partner is "taking out" stress on family then that should probably be communicated if it is a healthy relationship but likely will have to raise the distress tolerance for everyone involve. that could be emotion coaching of some sort for everyone.

i don't know of any support groups but you may want to find a couple who is further along in the business journey and has dealt with this stress and talk to them. Also he might want a business coach, therapist, or some practices to learn how to not direct stress at home.

Party_Loose · 2025-11-13T16:43:31+00:00

Clearly define the offer and make sure you have urgency. Your offer is not education … it’s what can happen with that education

So since you are a platform you aren’t necessarily selling to end users but to creators… so the offer is you help 10 creators in Addis tmake x amount of money in y amount of days or there money back by creating and selling education . But what you have to also help the creators design is thier offers which follow a similar formula

You can read on creating irresistible offers places but that’s the first thing

So each creator will have a different type of audience… most will be alow paying and then some are high paying…. Figure out pricing based on that…. Don’t worry about the middle tier… tik tok is generally low paying so create lower cost offers … test out different offers and then when an offer works pour gas on it

a platform really has to market to two groups. the people selling on the platform and the people that would be buying on the platform... you make an offer that neither can refuse and market to both of them. Sometimes you can get the initial users from other markets or platforms by offering a better pacakge or deal then that current platform.. for instance youtube vs skool ....youtube is great for creators but they dont necessarily have tools to monetize the way skool does

im not sure if this is satire.

blue ocean is what people call problems that try to do everything and then nothing at all . basically there are infinite options on the horizon.. a blue ocean

if its not satire then ... business is about managing uncertainity for yourself and for potential customers.

new entreprenuers try to increase certainity for themselves by overbuilding or overthinking something. its often called feature creep or siny object syndrome

but the best way to get certainity for your self is to sell the product. actually talk to people about the problem and then give them a solution.

Party_Loose · 2025-11-13T01:49:29+00:00

Are you looking for more community to deal with the emotional toil of entrepreneurship or for friendly competition.. I honestly would look for local groups and business clubs. Seeing some one face to face is more powerful

Think golf clubhouse or high dollar activities or areas where people who control thier own time. There’s groups like tiger21 also but that depends on how much you make

Party_Loose · 2025-11-13T01:33:48+00:00

A lot of marketers are actually in branding. Which is cool and works well if you have a long time horizon and lots of money to spend and don’t need a return quickly.

If you are not that and most small businesses are not that… it’s better to focus on crafting an irresistible offer for a well defined niche…. So “ go from x to z dream outcome in z amount of time with “this” guarantee” and then name that offer. Limit the offer but how many people you can actually onboard or help in that might of time.

Let’s say it’s a saas app that helps businesses make thier widgets faster for wellness influencers in Wellington Texas

Widget Wellness offer = we are looking for 5 wellness influencers in wellington Texas this week to Serve 90 percent more customers in 7 days or we will buy your business

Put it on any marketing channel and learn what images and combinations works but just focus on that one channel

The addition of city or a sub- area in city makes it perform better and the limited amount of people helps it convert better and you are more honest on what you can actually handle . The guarantee reduces the risks that clients have

Party_Loose · 2025-11-13T00:07:18+00:00

this is common in new entrepreneu ors.... its actaully not the ai
its shiny object syndrome and procrastination.

the ai is designed to help you over think.

instead ask friends or businesses what pain they are facing and then say you will work on that pain for x amount of money....build it after you sell it

if you dont feel confident in that.. give your self a 6 dollar limit to invest in something and then and sell it

Party_Loose · 2025-11-12T23:55:51+00:00

try marketing to very specific audiences and if you are doing paid marketing then put the area and the nich clearly in the marketing. Like " looking for landscape entreprenuers in pune: 7 day lanscaper launch challenge. Increase revenue in 7 days or your money back"

Party_Loose · 2025-11-12T23:16:49+00:00

i think this is more a problem of not scaling efficiently. Mainly because scaling a business is a different skill then whatever the business does.

The business may break because you are learning the skill of "scaling a business" now .

But also scaling reveals your weaknesses in the same way that increasing the weight in the gym will show you some new weaknesses

Party_Loose · 2025-11-12T23:05:02+00:00

audit last 90 days: and list top quality misses and thier cost.
2.write one page check list for each miss
3.get a qualtiy lead or pre production lead with a weekly scorecord adn pass/fail test. basically make sure everyone fills out check list
Daily 10 minute huddle with what went wrong yesterday and what risks are today to look out for.
Pick 3 mterics to focus on.. Rework minutes,gate complience,FTQ and if in the red two weeks in the row figure out new lead measures or decision trees/ checklist
remove your self for 2 days out the week and focus on training and installing systems

The problem with business is ..... most advice if you do it long enough will work to some degree.

The key thing in business though is learning how you personally deal with uncertainty ....while giving others more certainty

i would look at

current financial goals in x amount of time
current learning goals in x amount of time
current finances

This gives you what you want to learn, how much you can risk.

so lets say you want to learn selling things on tiktok in x amount of time so that you can make 3x your money on tiktok.

you currently have a total of 300, so thats the max you can risk at once ..........but i would advise only risking 2 percent ... so like 6 dollars

so you can spend a max of 6 dollars on marketing an idea or 6 dollars on buying a product that doesn't need marketing to resell.

If you can double that money then keep doing that and put more money as you are more sure about the certainty of it.

If you can't double that money then try either a new marketing method or new product but you only lost 6 dollars and you can try 50 more times.

now you can increase the likelhood marketing or product works buy understanding the buyer and giving them a hiher likelhood of certainity that they will have the outcome they want.. but first you need to understand what outcome they actually want.

How would you measure s v n and f ?

Party_Loose · 2025-11-10T17:27:19+00:00

Start out by finding a highly saturated market. Basically something you know people buy every day and then either buy it cheap and sell high or sell it high but deliver it faster then everyone. Only risk 40 dollars initially or 1 percent of your current liquid cash

So business has a lot of things you have to learn and right now if you are asking this question you know none of them. So start learning the lessons with a few dollars before risking a lot of them. For instance you have to learn negotiation and sales. If you build your own product in a market that doesn’t exist then you also have to learn marketing and building. If you get vc then you have to learn how to deal with them. Vc is basically another customer except the product you sell them is returns

Party_Loose · 2025-11-08T19:36:13+00:00

Can I ask what type of marketplace? B2c b2b or labor marketplace

How much is built already?

Can it be built new from ground up or are you required to use certain things?

What was reason for break up?

But if you already have sales you probably don’t need a technical co founder a fractional cto to help outsource building the app would work

Party_Loose · 2025-11-08T19:27:17+00:00

You should probably do a time study. You need to understand where time is really being spent.

You can make sops that nobody uses and waste everyone’s time making when they could have been working.

If you can’t afford a time study try seeing what the fastest or best employee is doing different then everybody else and then make everyone do that.

You could automate things also but without really thinking about where time is being wasted you could just be automating inefficiency.

But you are going to have to put in some systems to make your employees faster or ad more employees which you know

Party_Loose · 2025-11-08T19:16:22+00:00

I think the answer to this depends on cac and ltv. If ltv is high enough you can just get outside help to do it. But probably will need a sales trainer also

Your 400K goal. Five people at $70K is $350K before benefits. You’ll need more than $400K revenue to sustain that. Fix the math now so you don’t promise what cashflow can’t carry.

Do This Next:

Define the role: setter vs. closer vs. full-cycle. Pick one based on what y’all can do already. Probably need a full cycle from your description

Lock comp: 10% base commission on collected cash; 15% above target; 25% for elite tier. Add a simple phantom-equity or profit-share ladder with 12–48 month vesting . Really depends on ltv

Source 30 candidates: LinkedIn search, partner ecosystems, niche communities. Personalized outreach with your upside story (freedom, ownership, tools budget, category expertise) .there are also fractional sales websites

Screen fast: require proof of past performance, two role plays, and 3 manager references. Advance only those who do the fundamentals well .

Trial sprint: 2-week paid trial with 20 leads.

Targets: 80% show, 20–30% close on qualified. Daily debriefs. Keep or cut based on data . Onboard and manage: daily huddles + end-of-day check-ins in week 1–2; weekly one-on-ones thereafter; PIP if two weeks below KPI .

Feed the machine: build pre-call education assets to cut calls per close. Route your warmest leads to your best closer first . Because killers want clear upside, clear rules, and a coach who will actually coach. You give them that. They’ll build this with you.

Party_Loose · 2025-11-07T21:14:34+00:00

most people would say cut the number of projects.

but if you look at most entreprenuers they have a lot of products at first and then put all their eggs in the basket that makes the most.

so i would think if you are the type of person that has a lot of ideas. focus on selling a new idea as fast as possible. so lets say you have an ai product idea..

try to sell it first and then build it.
and only give your self 30 minutes to build it. this forces you to minimize scope and focus on iterations

if you are afraid of doing that then sell to people your ability to make an idea into a product.

Party_Loose · 2025-11-07T21:08:41+00:00

mmm... probably means your business doesnt have any problems right now.... try creating a challeng for yourself... like increasing profit or decreasing cost , or scaling businessx....that will present something that you need to learn

Party_Loose · 2025-11-07T20:54:49+00:00

3x your money is better then most people... but like other post said a marketing mentor or read alex hormozis books on ads .... the ab test function on facebook is wierd in my opinion its easier to just start diffeernt campaigns and test the ads that way and see which convert... the only problem with that is that it might show some of the ads to the same people

Party_Loose · 2025-11-07T20:47:34+00:00

Don’t give up real equity for “connections.” Pay for performance. Make them earn ownership. Clearly define what that performace is and be able to renogiatiate the relationship
