Built lifeofdiscipline.com, a habit tracker inspired by GitHub’s contribution calendar. Took me a year to break the 500/mo mark.

I thought about this a lot. Initially, I wanted phone authentication, but decided to do that next time when the problem arises. Then I realised that the goal of this is long term investing, I.e. 3-5-10 years. I doubt these “return miners” can do so over the long term while writing good insightful posts on their positions to build enough reputation to thrive on the platform.

But then again, it’s still possible to maintain two to three accounts running different strategies. And so moving forward, I’d either try phone auth or Stripe’s identity verification.

Firebase is annoying damn. Will figure it out.

(1) yes high commissions are designed to promote long term holdings (hence the name of the platform). I’m still trying to figure out simulated taxes.

(2) hmm, do you mind elaborating? For me, it’s not an exact replica of my personal portfolio, but moving forward it should be a relatively good proxy to it.

(3) I think the commissions itself will eliminate profits from minor arbitrage, but large deviations are possible to arbitrage successfully. Thanks for this, I’ve added a ticket to solve this issue. Will implement open market timings for trades.

(4) Search is far from optimal for now... super rough MVP. Will improve of course.

You’re right. Currently high frequency trades are penalised by commissions which has a fixed component. I’m still banging my head trying to figure out a simulated tax environment, but I’ll get it done.

The goal is to make it as perfect as it can as an imperfect proxy to investor skill.
