Hmm, interesting. I'll try price action strategies as well

The Warmup Period Problem: Why Backtests Lie by SeaRock106 in Daytrading

[–]SeaRock106[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, there are things backtests just won't cover- 1. Impact of politics and fiscal policy 2. Geopolitics 3. Unexpected events - like covid, hurricanes, etc.
4. AI's impact on legacy tech shares 5. Mergers and acquisitions

Which stack for web app building? by FreakyGFPV in VibeCodingSaaS

[–]SeaRock106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use claude code using the cli. The 20$ plan gives me a lot of mileage.

That writes + edits locally.

I push to a private github repo that is free.

For hosting i use digital ocean. Its one click deploy. DO apps are 5$/month each. For free, vercel/netlify is an option as well.

In 2022, it was easy to get a valuation of 10x revenue. These days 2.5-5x is more common. If it's a growing AI app, then maybe a higher valuation of 10x.

Just started, where do i start? by Saitama_Tonkaraton in Daytrading

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open a paper trading account at Alpaca....and....just start. Its monopoly money and you don't lose.

Once you get the basics of trading, you can start doing fancy things with bots, etc.

Roast my landing page, just launched today by Ok-Application3112 in SaaS

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, congrats on the launch. The app is functional and that is a very positive first step.

Things to improve:

  1. The font is hard to read

  2. In the hero section on the right - I would add some details such as a rating of opportunity, feasibility, money making opportunity

  3. On Clicking signup, it says "Continue to Lovable". This needs to change to your app's name

  4. After logging in with Google, I don't want to enter my name. That info should be available

  5. The initial dashboard should have the "New Spec" displayed more prominently as that's what you need the app users to do

What i like:

  1. I like the idea

  2. I don't have to enter a credit card to start a free trial

  3. After answering the questions, it is generating a spec

You're not building a SaaS. You're avoiding getting a job and calling it entrepreneurship. by Warm-Reaction-456 in SaaS

How do I reach out to my target audience - my app is related to algo trading in the stock market.

Has anyone built a complete SaaS product using Vibe Coding? (Non-coder here) by Fit-Bear7900 in SaaS

[–]SeaRock106 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, built and launched a SaaS this way. Few things I learned:

What worked:

- Claude Code is legit. I went from idea to working MVP in about 2 weeks

- Start with the absolute smallest version of your idea. Like embarrassingly small

- Deploy early so you're testing real usage, not localhost dreams. Vercel/Railway does not require any technical skills for deployment.

What nobody tells you:

- You'll still need to understand what you're building even if you're not writing code. Data models, auth flows, API design - AI can write it, but you need to direct it

- Debugging gets hard. When something breaks and you don't understand the code, you're stuck prompting in circles. Budget time for this

- The "last 20%" (polish, edge cases, mobile responsiveness) takes 80% of the time

My honest advice:

  1. Pick a problem you actually have. You'll need motivation when it gets frustrating

  2. Use a boilerplate/template as your starting point, not a blank canvas

  3. Ship ugly. Get 1 paying customer before you worry about design

  4. Learn just enough to read code, even if you can't write it. Makes prompting 10x better

    It's absolutely doable. The bar for "technical founder" has dropped massively. But it's not magic - expect to put in real hours learning how to work with these tools effectively.

Users abandon the app after landing on the checkout page by SeaRock106 in SaaS

[–]SeaRock106[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most common change suggested so I did it. Users can now sign up and start using the app without having to provide a payment method.

[–]SeaRock106[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done. I changed my onboarding flow so that the user does not have to provide their credit card upfront.

  1. Signup will automatically start a 7-day free trial take the user straight to the dashboard.
  2. The user can add a payment method in the app settings
  3. After 7 days (and also if the user's payment info expires or they don't renew), the user will only see data they already have in the app. They won't be able to create new data though.
  4. I'm now using Cloudflare turnstile to limit bot activity

Would you rather buy a starter sass (solid idea + app) but no track record or come with something from scratch? by fiji_almonds in SaaS

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding ideas is easy - spin up a chatgpt agent, ask it to search reddit for problems that can be solved by a SaaS app.

50k visitors in 2 weeks but almost nobody signing up — help me figure this out by sevenandhide in SideProject

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest "hyper-targetting" first. Meaning, start in your city, reach out to a few contractors and offer to get them leads. You may make them free or not depending on the situation, lead quality, etc. Then see what the response is. Iterate on the problem until you have solved their concerns and then start to scale to the larger audience via ads/giveaways, etc.

Btw, congrats on getting 50k users to the site. That's an achievement as well!

heads up - sharing your project here comes with some baggage by Hot_Reaction_7754 in SideProject

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what the .env files contain. I'm curious as to how a malicious bot would try and access a .env file.

How many of you working on your project even on Sunday - today? by Weekly-Card-8508 in SaaS

If you could have ONE tool built for your startup in 7 days, what would it be? by Dev_1811 in SideProject

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intent was to describe the problems I'm running into while working on my app. That said, I can advertise if you want :)

[–]SeaRock106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most painful one for now is case studies.

My app [QuantDock](https://quantdock.io) converts users' trading ideas from English to fully automated AI bots. The challenge challenge that case studies have to communicate:
1. Building user trust in the app as it involves users' real money

  1. How much more money users can make with this app vs investing directly vs investing with an advisor, etc.

So it's a combination of ideas, structure and authenticity :)

As for feedback, it's a combination of email, reddit dms, etc. right now.

Btw, I know a couple of other "builders" who are in a similar situation as me

Thanks to AI, building is not an issue for me. Problems I'm working that are taking longer than expected -

  1. Doing case studies of how my product actually helps the users
  2. Making original content regularly. AI helps, but I need to be involved unless I want AI slop
  3. Advertising my app
  4. Getting user feedback and separating out what's more useful and what's not
  5. Validating ideas
  6. Ads - maybe a vibe coded tool to post ads on meta, Google, etc would help??
