Hey Hunters, I'm Josh, the maker behind AutoQuant. I built this because I kept hitting the same wall as a developer who trades. Existing platforms either lock you into their cloud (Composer, TrendSpider) or hand you a blank IDE and say good luck (QuantConnect, Lean). I wanted something that actually worked with me. The AI Loop is the core idea. Tell it your trading thesis, let it iterate on the strategy code, backtest each version, and refine until you've got something with real edge. Then deploy live to your broker, all from your laptop. No cloud, no monthly seat fees, your data stays yours. Today AutoQuant supports equity, options, and cross-sectional strategies. A visual Flow Builder ships soon too. Would love your feedback, especially from anyone who's tried QC or Composer. What's been your biggest frustration?

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.
