Update on the “claude built me a strategy” post from last week

ok so last week i posted that claude helped me build a strategy and bracket setup but honestly i didn’t fully understand what was going on under the hood. got a lot of comments calling that out, fair.

so i went back and actually dug into it. spent the week building out a bucket screener instead of one single strategy. basically i’m tagging every trade with a set of factors (setup type, time of day, ticker, entry trigger, whatever) and grouping trades into buckets based on which factors overlapped. then i can see which combos of factors actually cluster around good win rates instead of just eyeballing one equity curve.

been paper trading this for a bit now and some of the buckets are looking really strong. one bucket with 13 trades is running 85% win rate and +12.94% average per trade. another bigger bucket with 20 trades is at 60% win and +4.80% average, which feels more like the “real” number once sample size grows.

still very much learning as i go and treating this as paper only until i have a lot more trades in the bigger buckets. small sample sizes can lie to you easily (that one bucket with 3 trades at 67% win and a 15+ profit factor is obviously not something to trust yet).

It works but not sure why!

I have a strategy built by Claude and it works great on backtest but I have zero clue how it works. Does anyone have similar experience?

I’ll support your launch if you support mine, no flaking

I’m launching yPAL on Product Hunt soon and would love your help with visibility.

Quick context: yPAL is grounded compliance for startups. we help with SOC 2, ISO 27001 and a bunch of other frameworks. the platform is free, unlike Vanta, Drata and the other compliance automation tools.

two small asks:

1. follow the page: producthunt.com/products/ypal?launch=ypal

2. jump into this thread and share your take: producthunt.com/p/ypal/a-green-dashboard-and-actually-true-are-different-things-change-my-mind

i mean it when i say i’ll return the favor. drop your launch below and i’ll follow, upvote and engage with your threads the day you ship. happy to keep supporting after launch day too.

thanks in advance 🙏

For founders who are tired of shouting into the void

Six months ago I had a problem I couldn't solve. I kept looking for a community where founders actually supported each other, not just talked about it. Everywhere I looked it was either people promoting themselves or rooms that went quiet after a week. Nobody was really showing up for anybody.

So I stopped searching and just built the thing I wanted. I called it Product Mafia.

The idea was simple. A place where builders amplify each other's launches and posts, no clout chasing, no shouting into the void alone. You give a little support, you get a lot back.

I honestly didn't know if anyone would care. Turns out a lot of people were looking for the same thing. Six months later we're 1,000 founders and builders strong, from all over the world.

The best part hasn't been the number. It's watching someone drop a launch at 2am and waking up to the whole group already behind it.

It's the small wins people share, the intros that turn into real things, the founders who came in quiet and now run half the conversations. Watching this go from an empty Slack channel to a room full of people who genuinely root for each other has been one of the most rewarding things I've done.

We're still growing, and the door is open. If you're building something and want people in your corner, come join us.

World Cup tickets

so nyc just announced 1000 affordable $50 tickets for their residents via a lottery, plus free round trip buses to metlife.

the stadium is literally in new jersey. arguably closer to most of us than to half of nyc. and jc residents get… nothing?

anyone heard if jc or the state is doing something similar?

feels like we should be first in line for this, not watching from across the hudson.

What i learned running a small founder group that didn’t die

3 things kept Product Mafia alive when other groups i joined fell apart:

small on purpose. quality drops the second you optimize for headcount.
shipping is the bar. not ideas, not decks. real progress.
honest feedback over polite nods. saves everyone months.

Free, no funnel.

Link in comments if you’re building seriously and want a few people in your corner who’ll push back.
