Hey Hunters, I'm Josh. Built an AI quant trading desk that runs locally

First post on PH. I'm Josh, a senior software engineer (16+ years) and active options trader. Been building AutoQuant for the last few months, launching here on June 30.

Quick background: I trade credit spreads and sell premium myself, and got tired of every algo tool being either a black-box cloud SaaS (Composer, TrendSpider) or a blank IDE that assumed I had a quant team (QuantConnect, Lean). AutoQuant is the in-between. Desktop app, AI Loop that iteratively writes and refines strategies for me, runs locally so my data stays mine, and I can drop into Python whenever.

Building an AI quant trading desk that runs locally

Hey, I'm Josh, building AutoQuant. Dropping a note here before launch on June 30 so anyone landing on this page early has the full context.

The short version: AutoQuant is a desktop app where an AI Loop iteratively writes, backtests, and refines trading strategies for you. It runs locally, your data stays on your machine, and you can drop into Python whenever you want.

AutoQuant - AI quant trading desk for backtesting and live trading

AutoQuant is an AI quant trading desk for stocks and options. The AI Loop iterates on your strategy code, backtests each version, and refines it until you have an edge. Then deploy live to your broker. All local, your data stays yours.
