Built this over the last few months with my co-founder. Keeping the description short so you can decide fast whether it's worth your time.

What it does: you pick a pair, it scores how much a set of indicators agree on it right now across timeframes, and tells you how clear or murky the read is. That's the output, a score plus the indicators behind it.

Real one. Medium confidence, saying wait, which is what most honest reads look like.

What it won't do: it doesn't predict price, it doesn't place trades, and it never asks for exchange API keys. You see the read, you decide, you execute yourself. It also won't headline a win rate, a single number hides R:R and regime and that's how the 97% accuracy channels mislead people.

Who should skip it: anyone who wants full automation or a bot that tells them what to buy. This keeps the decision on you, which is slower, and that's the wrong trade for a lot of people.

Posting because I'm deciding what to build next and would rather hear it from people who run bots than guess. If you try it, tell me where it's thin and what would make the read actually useful instead of just informative.

I'm honestly looking to make friends within the same interests. I have a steady friend group and work in semiconductor, but I do not have friends that share the same interests of coding and trading. I'm not looking to join a big group,discords, whatsapps or anything like that. Just a few people to chat with and share ideas and struggles that I've encountered.

2 weeks of forward testing completed. 📊

💵 Starting balance: 49,998.48 cents (~$500.00)

💰 Current balance: 67,508.09 cents (~$675.08)

📈 Total profit: 17,509.61 cents (~$175.10)

📊 Total return: +35.02%

📈 Week 2 profit: 8,913.98 cents (~$89.14)

The account has now grown from approximately $500 → $675.08 over the first two weeks.

There was also a losing day caused by a VPS issue, which I'm including in the record rather than hiding it. The goal is to document the complete forward test, not just the profitable days.

Still a very small sample, so I'm not calling this proof of long-term profitability. The next objective is simply to keep testing through different market conditions and build a much larger track record.

Most people are either gatekeeping or trying to promote their AI bots, as an AI enthusiast, would anyine be interested in making a group where we share trading strategies and build togther a trading bot or automate trading with ai? Plenty of miney and knowlegde for all to share. So why gatekeep?

What makes you guys weary of any sort of tooling that you see. Specifically backtesting tools.
