Show HN: Hinge for Trading
An ex-Y Combinator team launched retail-intelligence.ai, a platform that suggests five trades to users every six hours. The tool converts user strategies into logic trees, generating custom signals, live dashboards, and automated alerts for retail markets.
Background
- This is a Show HN on Hacker News, where founders present early-stage projects for community feedback. "Ex YC" means they went through Y Combinator (backer of Airbnb, Stripe, Dropbox).
- "Hinge for Trading" compares their product to the dating app Hinge (known for limited daily curated matches) — they suggest a small set of trades rather than overwhelming users.
- Core offering: users encode trading strategies into logic trees, which then generate custom signals, dashboards, and alerts. The "5 trades every 6 hours" is the default suggestion layer.
- "Retail markets" = stock/crypto trading by individual (non-professional) investors. The sector boomed after Robinhood and zero-commission apps made trading accessible.
