Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Unreliable Backtest Results

Traders cannot trust backtests because they hide lookahead bias, unrealistic fills, overfitting and silently diverge from live execution.

In their words

Im spending like 80% of my time writing pandas scripts just to sanitize the garbage they sold me

r/algotrading on Reddit

my backtester is filling orders that would literally never exist in a live order book

r/algotrading on Reddit

Testing a setup properly takes me far too long.

r/Daytrading on Reddit

being able to view single return sequences and see their effects on our plans would let us understand the real impacts

r/adviice on Reddit

a small assumption or parameter mistake can propogate and brick the whole strategy

r/quant on Reddit

It can hardly make quality inferences off the data from the system I've created. Too many data points to render a quality response

r/ai_trading on Reddit

I am finding some of them last only a week, or even some that collapsed before I was even able to get the production model deployed.

r/quant on Reddit

have you actually run this calculation?

r/investing on Reddit

many trades reach ₹500 or more in unrealized profit (per lot) before reversing and eventually closing at breakeven or even a loss

r/IndiaAlgoTrading on Reddit

I feel like I'm just jumping from one strategy to another without actually understanding what I'm doing.

r/ai_trading on Reddit

I looked at Algotest but it's template-driven — no way to plug in custom indicators or conditional/priority entry logic, so it's a non-starter for this.

i have to tweak my strategy on how i need a system to actually take something off the table when its given to me

Tools they use today

  • Python
  • Claude
  • TradingView
  • QuantConnect
  • Excel
  • broker APIs
  • IBKR
  • MT5

Why those fall short

  • manual math error-prone; mental accounting ignores cash drag and taxes
  • strategies look good in videos but backtest results are really bad
  • Too many data points; Claude trips on obvious small details
  • Strategies rudimentary and hard to interpret; no edge development method
  • no built-in validation; data still has gaps and duplicates
