Hey IH — long-time lurker, first real build-in-public post.
I've been building solo for a while and this week I finally did something scary: open-sourced my algo trading dashboard.
HedgeVision → https://github.com/ayush108108/hedgevision
It's a full-stack statistical arbitrage platform. Cointegration-based pair selection, backtesting engine (Sharpe, Calmar, drawdown), TimescaleDB for tick data, React dashboard for live P&L. Modular — you can plug in your own strategy class.
Why open-source it? Honestly, I built it to learn quant finance by actually implementing it. I'm not at a hedge fund. I'm just someone who wanted to go deeper than tutorials. Making it public forces me to write cleaner code and actually finish things.
The GitHub is at 2 stars right now lol. So if this sounds interesting, a star would genuinely make my day: https://github.com/ayush108108/hedgevision
Now for the tease:
While building HedgeVision, I kept running into the same problem every solo dev has — I'd code all day and then have zero energy left for social media, marketing, community engagement. The stuff that actually gets you users.
So I started building ViEngine — an AI-powered social media automation SaaS.
The idea: one dashboard, all platforms (Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Facebook). AI generates platform-native captions, schedules posts at optimal times, and handles the content grind so you can stay in flow.
Built for exactly the kind of person who reads IH: solo devs, indie hackers, introverts who'd rather ship than post.
ViEngine is coming very soon. If you want early access or want to follow the journey, drop a comment or follow me here.
Happy to talk shop on any of this — quant finance, stat arb, AI content tools, solo building. What are you all building?
Hi Ayush! HedgeVision looks like a solid build. I'm specifically interested in your backtesting engine. I've been focusing on XAUUSD and DXY strategies and would love to see how your platform handles tick data for gold. Also, I'm quite active with AI tools myself, so I'm curious about ViEngine. If you need a beta tester with a trading background, I'm in!"
Hey Yousif! Trader with AI tool experience is exactly the kind of early feedback I need — not just feature requests from day-one users.
You're in for the ViEngine beta. I'm keeping the founding group small and intentional.
Drop your email below or find me on X — @MrAyush108 — and I'll personally onboard you when I open access. Would love your take from both the creator and trading lens.
