What I mean by more freetime is a time off the 9-5 job

ditch wordpress. use laravel
As a retail trader I prefer desktop heavy apps rather than web based ones. I believe what is missing in the crypto space is an algotrading app that allows me to code my own strategies and indicators.
Yes, many! Through out my career I had to implement from scratch two sorting algorithms. First was to sort subtitles on a playing video in javascript in real-time. The second was a custom sorting algorithm of text blocks on an image.
Shameless plug: postoptions.app is my side project. a Real-time option screener. I'm happily serving few happy paying clients.
Yes I meant "minimum viable product"
It took me exactly 4 months to reach this milestone
Thanks for the feedback
"I see some naive schmuck". Chill man, why the hostility? I'm only using free data to test it. I have no problem start paying for their API if the idea is validated.
I'm using Tradier API for market data. Greeks included. I don't do any calculations.
cool name!
Thank you for the feedback. Can I ask how one can use this volatility comparison in his options trading? Please enlighten me, any resource on this ?
Thank you for your valuable feedback and questions. Indeed some ETF are not showing although they are in the DB, needs checking. - An entry box is something to add, thanks for pointing out. - Real-time data from Tradier is costly. I was looking at IBKR and maybe I will switch to their API. But anyhow real-time is an overkill for now, maybe in the future. - Yes for entering orders, I use Tastyworks. I first validate the opportunities with real time data and enter the trade on the Tastyworks platform. - I actually made decent profits from selling Theta. The trick is to not overtrade and be ok if a week passes without making a trade. But my main investing strategy is a Buy and hold on a world index.
Totally agree with your remarks regarding the interface.
Thank you for your feedback. What made me make this screener is what you called "sequence of choices" I found on most other screeners. What I wanted as a user was to have full control on screening criteria. Maybe it is overwhelming for some. But from my point of view the more I had criteria the better
Yes. backtesting is such a complexe tool. I usually use Tastworks for backtesting after filtering out some instruments with a screener.
I agree. noted
Tradier API. Their free api has a 15 minutes delay with a limited threshold per minute.
Do you mean that options expiring today should have a DTE equals 0 ?
How much are you willing to pay monthly for a tool like this ?
I appreciate a lot your feedback.
Thank you for your comment. I work when they are not around. Also my wife is very supportive. Time with family is not negotiable.
Yes, thank you for your comment. I feel guilty saying it is my first MVP, but it truly is, as a father. I wish HN allowed changing post titles so I can replace "first" by just an MVP
your feedback is very important to me. I will consider changing the name for something else less "discount sushi". Thanks
This is true. Previous projects are dead and were hobby projects just for fun. I see also some of my previously used domain names are being reused by someone else.
Thanks for spotting the typos. for the dates It was mentioned in some comments earlier. It depends on whether to count the current day in the DTE calculation. It is something to fix
This is correct. But TD Ameritrade is not open for certain european nationalities. My application to open an account was declined. I would have loved to play with their screener.
Yes, the DB is inside the droplet. Not super optimal, but for now it works fine.
oh my god.thank you for spotting it. will fix this right away
