Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Olumide, founder of TradeStaq. The backstory: I got into algo trading in 2024 and built two strategies — MFRider and GhostRider — on a third party algo trading platform. Over the following months, both strategies consistently dominated the leaderboards. Traders were making real money with them. But the experience of building and running those strategies frustrated me. The tools were clunky. Testing was painful. Deploying across exchanges meant duct-taping APIs together. Managing servers at 3am when something broke wasn't sustainable. I kept thinking: I know what a great trading strategy looks like. Why is the platform the bottleneck? TradeStaq is my answer to what a complete algo trading platform should be — with the edge built right in. What I built: Tell our AI (FORGE) something like: "Buy ETH when the 4h RSI drops below 30 and the daily trend is bullish. Trail a 2% stop loss." — it writes the strategy code, backtests it against months of real market data, shows you the performance metrics, and deploys it to your exchange. Minutes, not weeks. The part I'm most proud of is Strategy Lab — an AI optimizer that takes a strategy and autonomously experiments on it. It mutates the code, backtests each version, keeps what improves the score, throws away what doesn't. Like having a quant researcher iterating on your strategy around the clock. This is how I'd have built MFRider and GhostRider if this tool existed back then. What you can do today (free): - Describe a strategy in English → FORGE builds it - Backtest against real historical data with institutional-grade metrics - Paper trade with virtual funds — full platform, zero risk - Copy top traders or browse the strategy marketplace - Connect 15+ exchanges (Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid, KuCoin, OKX, and more) What makes this different: I've been on both sides — building winning strategies and suffering through the platforms they run on. TradeStaq is what I wished existed when I was manually backtesting GhostRider variants at 2am. The AI doesn't just execute trades, it helps you discover better strategies through systematic experimentation. I'd love feedback on: 1. Does the AI builder produce strategies that make sense to you? 2. Is paper trading close enough to real trading to build confidence? 3. What exchanges or features are missing? Try it free at tradestaq.com — paper trading doesn't even require API keys. Happy to answer anything! 🚀
