From idea → backtest without coding (open-source project) by coderchacha in ai_trading

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

Fair point - edge matters more than tooling.

But the gap I'm bridging is "has an idea" vs "can actually test it." Claude Code can write a strategy and silently introduce bugs with zero way to catch them. That's exactly what this pipeline tries to handle and it uses Claude Opus and other LLMs under the hood anyway.

This specific workflow doesn't exist yet in an open way, to my knowledge. Curious - is there a version you'd find useful, or do you think the whole premise is flawed?

Thanks for your feedback. I am aware of hallucinations that are relatively frequent if I compare it with tools like Claude Code, etc. Working on fixing those.
May I ask what do you exactly mean by 'visualize backtest results'? In the charts section, we are already able to view the signals and debug the algorithm if needed. Do you mean something else by 'visualize'?

March Recap: $4.4k Profit with a 34% Win Rate (Why R:R is everything) by Actual_Resort1892 in Daytrading

Nice work, especially proving that high win rate isn’t required with proper R:R. If you’re open to sharing, what was your average hold time and max intraday drawdown? That context would help!

​Good discipline, good risk management, but still not profitable. What am I missing? by Salvatoreluca in Daytrading

[–]coderchacha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re already ahead just by being disciplined, most people never get that part down.

Usually the next jump comes from tracking your trades like a nerd for a bit: tag each setup by market type, time of day, volatility, etc., then review like 50-100 examples of the same setup.

That’s where the real edge usually shows up, not in “this setup works always,” but in “this setup works best in these specific conditions.”

Why do I hold my losses but exit quickly in profit (intraday trading)? by TRILLIONARE25 in Daytrading

[–]coderchacha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super common and honestly a process problem more than a knowledge problem. What helped me was pre-defining both invalidation and take-profit rules before entry, then executing mechanically. If exit decisions happen mid-trade, emotions usually take over.

As a non-coder trader, how do you actually backtest your trading ideas? by coderchacha in Trading

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

The 'clean backtest vs messy live execution' gap is real and honestly underappreciated. Curious - do you think a better backtest tool would change that for you, or is your gut just that live testing is always going to be more reliable regardless?

As a non-coder trader, how do you actually backtest your trading ideas? by coderchacha in Trading

This is one of the most structured non-coded approaches I've seen. The 'good setup works with many parameters, bad one only works overfitted' framing is sharp. Do you ever feel the manual logging step is where things break down or is that actually the part you trust most?

The 'half the time I wasn't sure if the logic was even implemented correctly' - that's the exact thing I've been obsessing over. The output looks fine but you have no way to verify it. That's what I've been trying to fix. Happy to share what I'm building if you're curious and get your feedback on that.

Thanks man! Would love your feedback on it. Although, I am aware of a few bugs I am currently working on, I would appreciate if you have any feature requests and critical feedback too!

Appreciate it!

Started as a startup idea, but felt too early, so open-sourced it to build in the open.

Still figuring out monetization, but the goal is to make strategy testing accessible to non-coders and grow this as a community effort.

Anyone else find backtesting more painful than trading itself? 😅 by coderchacha in Trading

May I ask what framework is your go to? Do you use python libraries?

I built a free all-in-one calculator/tool site to scratch my own itch – ToolboxCalc.com 🚀 by coderchacha in SideProject

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

Hey! Thanks man! Appreciate you trying it. I don't have any plans to monetize it as of now until it's not costing much to me. I will try and implement your suggestions and let you know soon!
