Currently working on an advanced analytics tool for 0DTE trade data, which allows to scan through massive amounts of data in the least amount of time, find seasonal patterns created by institutional investors, blast credit chains for profitable trades and simulate / backtest arbitrary trades in conjunction to create portfolios. So far the software yielded several successful trading strategies, which outperform standard approaches ever since the new administration in the US came to power. Currently in closed beta but planning to release around Xmas eventually.

Working on a advanced analytics application for 0DTE trades, that allows to analyse thousands of possible trade curves in the least amount of time.

The process itself is extremely time consuming, when done manually. My application speeds up the process by a factor of 50 up to 150, depending on how you measure it.

Finally it allows "everybody", to find the 0DTE trades, that are really profitable - something, that currently only the "Pros" can do.

As always put together perfectly. Not only fun to read, but also a new item on my todo list.

How do you define market leader? In 2021 they had 14 million paying customers and a market share of 72 percent. If that’s not a market leading position, I don’t know what is. I don’t favor them, it’s a real pain sometimes, but they operate a tanker, not a speed boat.

At https://metrik.one/ we developed an advanced analytics app for Mailchimp customers and we currently experiment with a LLM powered natural language interface, which allows to define queries w/o having to understand SQL or to rely on predefined charts. LLM integration into analytics will IMO be the norm quite soon, since it can be a massive timesaver and makes otherwise static analytics applications really versatile from the users point of view. We're still in a POC phase but hope to beta-test the feature soon.

Advanced analytics for Mailchimp. It provides deep insights into subscriptions, opens, clicks and campaigns. In addition it comes with advanced segmentation based on subscriber behaviour instead demographic data. And it includes a cohort analysis, that helps to reduce inbound ad cost dramatically by not just focusing on CAC but prospect groups that actually open and click.

We built it out of our own need (running https://8bitnews.io/) and target newsletter senders, who prefer data driven decision making.

Instead of building the next SaaS we decided to build a desktop app. Privacy and data protection were the main drivers behind that decision.

Currently in beta, but close to a release and seeking market validation.

I can imagine there’s a direct connection to Apples announcement on Sep 7th. I don’t recall all the details, but read a report, that Apple bought a partially defunct satellite network, that has only very few, but therefore geostationary satellites which come with bandwidth licenses that exceed Starlink’s by a lot. Might be totally wrong, but did anybody else hear that rumor?

We built https://metrik.one

It’s an advanced analytics tool for Mailchimp. It’s mostly targeting regular newsletter senders, but gives detailed insights into an audience w/o violating user privacy. We like to think about it as the Plausible for Email Marketing. Unfortunately the development took too long, my business partner and friend ran out of runway and my kid was born. Still planning to market it, but so far under the radar.

Does anyone also feel reminded of the TCAP or Transcapacitor or Transfer Capacitor story / hoax from 1998?

Don’t know how it was done back in the days. But dumping a ROM should be straight forward. The resulting machine code can be massaged into assembly using a disassembler. 6502 assembly is kind of easy to read, since the instruction set is small compared to modern day CPUs. Once you identified a routine you want to change, you look up the instructions address in ROM, and hijack the corresponding addresses at runtime to put your own instructions and data on the bus. For sure everything but easy, but totally doable.
