Trading journal SaaS with 800+ users, need a co-founder to scale

I'll keep this straightforward. I built a trading journal SaaS that helps traders understand why they win or lose, not just track PnL. It's live, it works. I did everything solo up to this point and I'm looking for a co-founder to help scale it into a real business.

The problem it solves:

Most trading journals are glorified spreadsheets. You log your trades, see a PnL number, and learn nothing. Traders pay $30 to $60/month for tools that confirm they lost money without ever explaining why. I lived this problem for a year, paying $50/month for a dashboard that taught me nothing about my actual trading behavior.

What I built:

A journal that tracks behavior alongside numbers. It shows traders which days they perform best, how they react after losses, whether they're following their own rules, and what time of day their decision making falls apart. The kind of insights that actually change results.

Free plan includes 50 trades/month, 2 accounts, full analytics, calendar view, journaling, and discipline tracking. Not a trial, not a teaser, genuinely usable.

Premium at $13.99/month adds AI Trade Coach with personalized insights, AI signals with real-time notifications, chart studio, price alerts, and a mentor dashboard. Competitors charge 2x to 4x more for less.

Built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase.

Traction:

821 registered users, 764 confirmed. Built a 50+ member Discord community. Multiple organic Trustpilot reviews. Referral system already live with tiered rewards. Every user acquired organically through a Reddit content strategy I developed and refined across 15+ trading subreddits. Total ad spend to date is literally $0.

What I bring:

I'm a trader myself so I understand the user deeply because I am the user. I built the entire product solo, frontend, backend, design, everything. I developed and executed the organic growth strategy that got us to 800+ users. I've managed the community, handled support, shipped features based on user feedback, and created all the content. I know the product, the market, and the audience inside out.

Where I need help:

I've been doing everything alone and it's not sustainable. I recently slowed down on active growth because handling product, marketing, content, community, and support by yourself has limits. The growth engine works, I proved that by bringing in 600+ users during my active push. But it needs consistent execution and I need someone alongside me to do that.

What I'm looking for in a co-founder:

Someone who can own growth, marketing, or product development so we can divide and conquer. Ideally you have experience in one or more of these: SaaS growth and conversion optimization, paid acquisition and performance marketing, content marketing and social media, frontend or fullstack development, community building.

But more than skills I'm looking for someone who's reliable, communicates well, and actually wants to build something long-term. Someone who doesn't disappear after two weeks. Trading experience helps but isn't required.

The deal:

50/50 equity split. Equal decision making. Full transparency on everything, metrics, finances, roadmap, all of it. All revenue split equally. This is a real partnership.

What this is NOT:

This is not an idea on a napkin. The product is built, live, and being used daily by hundreds of traders. This is not a quick flip. I'm looking for someone who wants to build a sustainable business. This is not a job posting. I don't need an employee, I need a partner who's as invested as I am.

Why now:

The trading tools market is growing fast. More people are trading than ever and the tools available are either overpriced or underwhelming. We have a product that users genuinely love, proven organic traction, a referral system ready to scale, and a clear path to revenue growth through premium conversions. The foundation is solid. It just needs two people pushing instead of one.

If this sounds like something you want to be part of, DM me with a bit about your background and what you'd bring to the table. Happy to share the product, walk through the metrics, show the growth data, and discuss everything openly. No gatekeeping.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Thailand sometime soon and I'd love to get some insider advice from people who've been through something similar.

My goal is to come for 1-2 months, train seriously, and have my first Muay Thai fight before I leave. I know that's ambitious but having a real fight has been a bucket list thing for me for a long time, winning would be great obviously, but honestly just stepping into the ring and testing myself is the real goal.

My background:

  • 2 years of boxing experience (recreational, nothing competitive)
  • No formal Muay Thai training yet, so I'll be starting from scratch with kicks, elbows, knees
  • Decent fitness base, used to training regularly

Questions:

  1. Is 1-2 months realistically enough to have a first beginner fight, or am I setting myself up for a bad time?
  2. Which location/city would you recommend for someone with this goal Phuket, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, somewhere else?
  3. Any specific camps known for actually getting foreigners fights within a short timeframe?
  4. What should I expect from the whole fight setup process as a foreigner?

I've been reading through this sub a lot and know camps vary massively in quality. Ideally I want somewhere that takes training seriously but also has a pipeline for getting beginners into their first fight.

Any advice appreciated, especially from people who did something similar!

I lost money for 6 months in F&O before I realized the problem wasn't my strategy

I think a lot of people in here are going through the same thing I went through so I want to share what actually helped me turn things around.

For about six months I was trading Nifty and BankNifty options. I had a decent setup. Nothing fancy, just price action with support and resistance levels, taking entries on clean breaks with confirmation. Backtested well. Looked solid on paper.

But my account kept bleeding. Not big blowups, just slow consistent losses that added up over time. ₹500 here, ₹1200 there, occasionally a bigger hit on expiry day. By the end of each month I was down somewhere between ₹8000 and ₹15000. Not life changing money but enough to make me question everything.

I did what most people do. Changed my strategy. Tried scalping. Tried positional. Tried different indicators. Added Supertrend, then removed it. Added VWAP, then removed it. Joined two Telegram groups. Nothing worked because I kept getting the same results no matter what I used.

The problem was never the strategy.

One weekend I sat down and went through every single trade from the past three months. Not looking at setups but looking at my behavior. I tagged each trade with whether it was planned or impulsive, whether I followed my stop loss or moved it, whether I was trading because I saw a setup or because I wanted to recover a loss.

The numbers were brutal. My planned trades where I followed my rules had a 59% win rate. My unplanned trades had a 26% win rate. And here's the part that still bothers me. Almost 45% of all my trades were unplanned. I was taking nearly half my trades on impulse and calling it "reading the market."

The other killer was expiry day. Every Thursday I'd overtrade options trying to catch big premium decay moves. My Thursday performance was so bad that it single handedly turned profitable weeks into losing weeks. I was addicted to the action on expiry day and it was destroying my monthly results.

I also found out my afternoon trades after 1:30 PM were terrible. My morning session was profitable but after lunch I'd come back unfocused, take random trades, and give back everything. Every single week.

I've been tracking all of this on Gainlytics because I needed something that would show me these patterns automatically instead of spending weekends going through spreadsheets manually. The free plan gives you 50 trades per month, 2 accounts, full analytics and a calendar view. It breaks down your performance by day of week, by session, by behavior. Things that Zerodha's console or any broker statement will never show you.

Three rules came out of my data. No trading on expiry day unless I have a pre-market planned setup with predefined entry and exit. No trades after 1:30 PM. Maximum 2 trades per day, no exceptions.

The month after I implemented these rules was my first green month in F&O. Not by a lot, around ₹6000. But after six months of consistent losses, seeing green felt like a different world. And it happened because I stopped doing the things that were killing me, not because I found a better indicator.

If you're losing money consistently and you've already tried changing strategies multiple times, stop. The problem is almost certainly not the strategy. It's something in your behavior that you can't see because you're not tracking it.

Write down your rules. Track every trade against them. Look at your performance by day, by time, by behavior. The answer is usually embarrassingly simple once you see the data.
