Data is updated daily (midnight EST) for all 10,000+ assets. EOD data. No real-time support. We cache data in cloudflare.

Care sharing how you came to that conclusion? We've been completely transparent about everything we've built since the start. And our trades are transparent as well.

Thanks!

My claim is that The Technical Trades (TTT) was the only service that worked for me. I stand by that. And I have no affiliation with TTT. Beyond that, please contact Chris if you want more detailed proof of their track record.

wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
Agreed

There must have been a misunderstanding.

They've been around since 2008 and appear to have beaten SPX yearly since then.

I'm sure he has thousands of people that will vouch for him. Ask around on Reddit, etc. if you're curious.

Btw I think your YT channel would be a good idea.
wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
Anything that is related to HFT or day trading is almost impossible in my experience as well. The big funds can do it but I dont think retail has a chance with these approaches.

Have you researched trend or stage analysis? They're slower strategies and dont offer the get rich quick hype, but they do have far better success when done well.

The fees are no joke

What about Hedge funds?
wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
I'm realizing there's a lot of confusion about what trend based models actually are. I was under the assumption the concept was more widely understood, but I'm realizing we need to explain it better.

To be clear, there's nothing new or innovative about a trend based model. It's one of the most commonly used investment strategies by intuitions, etc. It's been widely utilized for far longer than I've been alive.

wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
They're the real deal means they're not a scam.

I don't know everything about their business. I recommend just looking at their website. They've been in business for nearly 20y and have consistently outperformed buy & hold.

wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
Not sure, but I personally used their service for 2y and they're the real deal. Looks like they've been around since 2008. So almost 20y now. The main guy that runs it (Chris V) is top notch. I'm not affiliate with them in anyway but I would highly recommend their service to anyone.

Overcrowding an entry on highly liquid assets is something that is so far from reality for our service.
wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
This is typically true for day trading signal services. I'm very skeptical of them too. I've tried many of them and none worked for me. There are a lot of scams.

The best model I tried was from The Technical Traders. They offer a trend based model for SPX/QQQ and they consistently outperform buy and hold for 10+ years now.

We were inspired by their service and wanted to take a modern spin on trend based models with a more affordable price point (they charge $2500yr).

Trend changes don't happen all that frequently. Therefore, they wont disappear immediately either. Timing trend changes correctly can make a huge difference.

wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
That's a fair concern.

Because TrendFi is a trend based model, the signals are not for HFT or day trading. Instead, we identify major market shifts that play out over weeks or months. This long timeframe means the signals are less vulnerable to the immediate front running or spread manipulation that plagues short-term signals.

Also, the AI's ability to self optimize after trades means the underlying parameters are not static. If external players were to try and consistently game the signals, the system is designed to adapt to those new dynamics.

wolfman1··on Show HN: TrendFi – I built AI trading signals that self-optimize
Most trading signals aim to exploit a secret edge. A temporary market inefficiency. The value is in the secret itself. Once you sell the secret, the small window of opportunity is competed away almost instantly.

Trend based models are different. The "secret" isn't a secret at all. Think of a trend based trading strategy more as a disciplined methodology. Trend based models follow price and attempt to identify as early as possible when an asset flips from bearish to bullish.

Therefore, selling our model wont destroy the underlying trend, especially in highly liquid assets, such as: SPX, BTC, etc.

wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
Yes, should be fine on our end. Probably not a good idea to include us on anything that requires NDAs, etc. Since that data will be fed into Gemini.

EDIT: I can't speak for your company. You should check company policies before including Subjam in threads.

wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
I was surprised to see no one built it yet
wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
Agreed. At the very least, it solves the context switching problem between email and chat AI.
wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
Yeah, probably. Or they just buy our startup if it has traction already.
wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
Agreed, definitely some pros to using LLMs in email vs chat. Feels pretty natural to send an email and get a response shortly after with a notification, etc.
wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
Fair points. We have the ability to restrict any address, so shouldn't be much of a concern on our end to shut down ceo@, etc.

We dont use any data for our own training. We send it to Gemini to process the prompt and encrypt it at rest. Having it encrypted at rest allows us to use it as context in your email thread as more replies come in.

File attachments are auto deleted after 30d.

wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
We encrypt data at rest, but obviously we need to send it to a LLM for processing. We make this clear in our privacy policy fwiw.
wolfman1··on Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
Yes you can pretty much do anything. CC, FWD, include humans or many AIs on the email too.

The model is a multi-threaded Go script running on a 512-thread AMD EPYC server. It's a trend based model so it's just trying to figure out how best to measure and predict trend changes. Not day trading or HFT.

It conducts millions of simulations daily for each asset, then provides a snapshot of the top-performing results to GPT-4o for final selection.

I'm really pushing the limits of GPT-4o currently. I started testing with o1 just last week and it performs better. It's just so much more expensive.

If you're US based, there is no major exchange support. BITI ETF and SETH ETF for shorting BTC and ETH.

If you're non-US: Binance.

Going to follow along to see how the results look in the months to come.

I've been working on the same concept for the past 2y now and have our performance results here: https://trend.fi/performance
