Mobius - Describe a trade and Mobius builds, backtests, and runs it

by•
Retail traders are stuck between no-code tools that can't flex and quant stacks that take weeks to set up. The idea is fast. The execution isn't. Mobius turns plain-English strategies into deployed trading bots backtested on real market data, running on alternative signals like congressional trades, dark pools, and Reddit sentiment. No code, no context switching, no alpha decay. Strategy. Backtest. Live. In minutes.

Hey everyone, my name is Dheeraj and I'm excited to finally share Mobius with you all! But first, a little backstory. I managed my own retail portfolio for years, and the frustrating part was never coming up with ideas. It was the gap between having one and actually doing something with it. You know the drill. Write the strategy somewhere. Open a backtesting environment. Hunt down the data sources that actually move markets (congressional trades, dark pool activity, macro signals) and figure out how to pipe them in. Wire it to a broker. By the time you've done all that, the edge is gone. That wall is exactly what Mobius came out of. Describe your strategy in plain English: "buy when RSI drops below 30 and congressional buy activity is elevated." Mobius deploys an agent to backtest it bar-by-bar, pull the alt data automatically, and execute via Alpaca. The whole loop, in one place. And it turns out we weren't alone. Across 15 discovery calls, 100% of traders cited execution speed as the core problem. Almost everyone hit the same second wall too: the signals that actually move markets were locked behind pipelines they couldn't build. Mobius removes both. We built the platform we always wanted to use. Would love to know what strategy you'd run first.

Finally, someone making the Pelosi-tracking actually actionable. I’ve been trying to scrape those filings manually, but the lag usually kills the trade. If this can automate the entry the second the data hits, it’s a massive win.

The backtesting part is what makes this interesting. Most trading bots usually just follow trends. How much control do I actually have over the backtesting parameters? For example, can I force it to test against specific historical volatility events like flash crashes, or do I need to specify something else for that?

Hey PH! I'm Bhargava, one of the founders of Mobius.

One thing I kept running into as a retail trader was that the idea was never the hard part. Turning it into something that actually runs in the market was the real issue.

But with Mobius, You describe your strategy in plain English, and we handle the rest. Backtesting, screening, researching, and live trading Mobius handles the whole loop, in one place, in minutes.

We're live today. Excited to hear what you'd build first.

Retail traders fail at the gap between "this looks good in a sheet" and "this is running on real money." Anything that closes that gap fast is going to print.

Launching together today makes Product Hunt even more fun. Really loved what you built it instantly caught my attention.

Always happy to support fellow makers, and would love to support each other. Wishing you an amazing launch 🚀

Knows nothing about trading, but maybe it would feels better if you can track what user have inputed in the landing page in localStorage, and if user decide to register, it will carries to the dashboard as sketch.

is the most interesting thing on PH today. The 'gap' between idea and execution is where retail traders go to die. Glad someone is finally building a bridge.

The plain English strategy input is the right UX call, most backtesting tools make you learn their DSL before you can even test if your idea is worth anything. Curious how you're handling strategy overfitting when users describe vague conditions — does Mobius add any guardrails there?"

 Right now Mobius commits your strategy to a fixed schema before showing any results, so you can't run backtests or deploy vague strategies. Walk-forward optimization with rolling in-sample/out-of-sample windows is on the roadmap!
