Complete Rookie and Absolutely Stunned

Totally New but Completely Stunned

So what started as me asking AI how i can recreate Ross Cameron's scanners. Quickly turned into one of the craziest things ive ever done thus far.......

In 3 weeks I have been able to create a full bot system with a master scanner as the "brain" feeding the 6 bots their preferred set up. It been an insane amount of work and testing. Now have added csv files that have memory. Csv files that track a ton of things like rejections, reasons....

It decides everything on a dynamic scoring system. And the memory CSV is going to tell us what works and the probability of it working again and the entry are also dynamic. Dynamic trailing stops. I mean this thing is extremely smart. We are deep deep in calibration phase and its finally gathering real data. Useful stuff.

And then The Dashboard. Wow. I am.beyond impressed what we came up with here. Literally. Insane. Pic is of top of dashboard..... the theme is "The Market Pay Patience" and. From that Paytience Labs was born.........

First post dont shred me too hard

OpenTerminalUI OpenSource Self-Hosted Quant/Fundamental Analysis Toolset for

Built an open-source project called OpenTerminalUI — a terminal-inspired trading and market research workstation for NSE/BSE + US markets.

GitHub: OpenTerminalUI GitHub Repo
Live Landing Page: OpenTerminalUI Demo Site

The idea started from frustration with fragmented tooling, expensive subscriptions, and dashboards that try to look modern but slow down serious workflows.

So I started building a keyboard-first, locally hosted, Bloomberg-inspired terminal experience focused on:
• Multi-chart workstation
• Quant/AST-based screeners
• F&O analytics
• Portfolio + risk tooling
• Backtesting workflows
• Command palette / GO bar navigation
• Model lab + stress testing
• Mock-data support for offline/local development
• Docker-first deployment

Tech stack:
• FastAPI + Python backend
• React + TypeScript frontend
• Dockerized setup
• Playwright + automated testing

One interesting part of this build:
A significant portion of the development workflow was AI-assisted using orchestrated multi-agent prompting across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI running in parallel task flows. AI was extremely useful for scaffolding, repetitive implementation, and refactors — but still struggled heavily with domain-specific trading logic, real-time data flows, derivatives workflows, and edge-case reasoning.

That balance between “AI-generated velocity” and “human-engineered architecture” became one of the most interesting parts of the project.

This is still actively evolving, and I’d genuinely love:
• Feedback on UX/workflows
• Criticism from traders or engineers
• Ideas for terminal workflows
• Contributors interested in frontend/backend/quant infra
• Collaboration around open financial tooling

If you try it out, I’d be really happy to hear what feels useful, broken, overengineered, missing, or worth improving.

Would also love to collaborate with people interested in:
• Open-source fintech infra
• AI-assisted software engineering
• Trading systems
• Quant tooling
• Terminal-style UI/UX
• Self-hosted platforms

Feedback, PRs, architectural discussions, and harsh critiques are all welcome.

No notifications for account

I recently applied for the real money account and my application says it's under review, but I didn't receive any kind of confirmation notification via email.

I also tried to transfer some money from another brokerage, but no notification was received for that action either.

I emailed support but have not heard back from them for 5 or so days now. Is Alpaca under maintenance? I saw they were going offline tomorrow
