Thanks so much for the kind words and this excellent feedback!
Pricing: You were absolutely right! Based on this feedback, I've just pushed an update with a full pricing section. It highlights the free plan and the 50% discount for early beta users. On top of that, I'm running a reward program for the most engaged users who help with feedback.
GIF/Video Demo: That's a great idea and definitely on my to-do list. A video would make it much clearer. For now, the User Manual gives a detailed breakdown of all the features.
Signal Examples: I completely agree. I'm working on a way to feature these directly on the site. In the meantime, I post regular examples of recent signals on Twitter (@OEnginsal) and Reddit (u/ozanenginsal).
This is all super helpful and exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Thank you again!
You've actually hit on the exact reason I built this. I share your skepticism completely – the vast majority of trading "signals" are just noise, most traders can't outperform buy-and-hold, and the space is full of unverified claims.
My goal with Hikaro isn't to add to that noise, but to provide a statistical filter against it. The whole point of the tool is to move beyond subjective analysis and ask a more rigorous question: "Could this signal's historical performance be explained by random luck?"
It's a tough problem, for sure, but I believe that applying more statistical discipline to the process is a valuable first step. I really appreciate you sharing your perspective.
You're right, it's a very crowded space and there's a lot of skepticism for good reason. My goal isn't to compete with the big TA platforms, but to focus specifically on the statistical validation of trading ideas, which I see as a missing piece.
I appreciate the advice about platforms like NinjaTrader—that's a good thought. Thanks for the feedback.
You're spot on about needing a way for users to see the value first. I should probably make my target audience clearer on the homepage—the signals are based on daily data, so they're geared towards swing traders and investors, rather than intraday traders.
My main approach for this is the 30-day free trial which gives full access to all features. I also share a lot of the statistics and signal examples on X and Reddit, which is very similar to what you're suggesting.
A dedicated Telegram channel is a really interesting idea for a lead-in, though. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!
Thanks, that's a great suggestion! You're absolutely right, seeing a concrete example of a signal and its performance on the homepage would be much clearer.
It's at the top of my to-do list now. In the meantime, I have been posting regular updates with recent signals on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/OEnginsal) and Reddit (u/ozanenginsal).
Great question. Honestly, because I love building software. I do trade, but I get a huge amount of satisfaction from creating a tool that other people can use to do their own research more effectively.
Also, these are signals, not fully automated strategies. They still require a human to manage risk and execution. Why not build a business around a problem I'm passionate about solving?
