Feedback/Advice: I vide-coded a behavioural risk platform for the £4B trading industry
It started out as a random idea I had when talking to Claude, and I had no idea I could even build it, but I gave myself no choice.
Last year I decided to register a business, even though all I had was the website and a dream. That way I felt forced to actually create the behavioural risk platform itself, simply for legal/taxation reasons if nothing else.
I knew I had a unique idea as the tool itself predicts a traders next bad trade before it happens in real time, making it significantly easier when it comes to beginner traders starting out!
I had no idea what I was doing at first and it was super buggy for a while, but over time I learned step by step and through trial and error how to build (mostly) effectively with Claude and how to build on top of prop trading accounts too (which is extremely challenging).
I was confident enough in the tool to launch it on March 15, and a month later I’m almost at 50 users. Most of them are on free trials but so far I made $100 from paying customers, which covered the costs of actually building the platform and then some.
It took a few months of 12 hour days and late nights but now it feels like it’s finally starting to pay off. Hope I can inspire anyone else starting out to just keep going with whatever you’re doing/building 🚀
