OpenWatersTrading
The Problem
Retail traders lack access to institutional-grade tools. The platforms that do exist are either prohibitively expensive or so complex that they alienate the people who could benefit most. Strategy backtesting, live execution, and portfolio tracking shouldn't require separate subscriptions and a finance degree.
Our Solution
OpenWatersTrading combines strategy backtesting, live trading, and portfolio management in a single, accessible platform. Test your ideas against historical data, execute with confidence, and track everything in one place—without the institutional price tag.
- Strategy backtesting: Test trading strategies against historical data before risking real capital.
- Live trading: Execute trades directly from the platform with real-time market data.
- Portfolio management: Track positions, performance, and risk across your entire portfolio.
Who It's For
- Retail traders who want professional-grade tools without the institutional cost
- Algo and quant enthusiasts building and testing their own strategies
- Anyone who wants backtesting, trading, and portfolio tracking in one place

WeatherTheBet
The Problem

- Multi-sport coverage: NFL and college basketball analytics, with more sports on the way.
- Tiered model system: Four tiers (Basic to Expert) with increasing analytical depth and components.
- Historical backtesting: Models validated against thousands of games across multiple seasons.
