Show HN: Solo trader built algo trading platform via AI – no dev experience

https://www.depthsight.pro/
2•DepthSight•2h ago
Hey HN,

I'm Artem, a trader from Ukraine. I tried learning to code 15 years ago and failed—I wanted to build trading systems, not fight with syntax.

8 months ago, I decided to try again using Claude/GPT/Gemini as my "pair programmers." I built DepthSight by describing what I needed in plain language. No prior dev experience.

What it does: • Native AI strategy generation from plain text • Visual logic builder with weighted conditions • Dual backtesting: vector engine for speed, event-driven for accuracy • Genetic algorithms to evolve strategy parameters • Order book + tape analysis (market depth, open interest) • Full mobile PWA

The Twist: Instead of a signup page, I built a terminal ARG.

Type "help" in the terminal at the bottom of depthsight.pro to start. You'll need to: - Decrypt hidden shards (Base64, HEX) - Find files in fake logs - Crack sudo access - Solve the final puzzle

Rewards: First solve: Lifetime Pro (unlimited compute) Top 10: 3 months free Everyone else: Beta access + 30% lifetime discount

Current status: Open beta—built solo over 8 months during blackouts, so there are rough edges. Live trading is disabled until I'm confident in production stability. Bug reports welcome.

I'm here to answer questions about the architecture, the AI collaboration process, or how I survived 8 months of solo development.

Thanks for reading!
