I really enjoy this idea. I haven't taken the time to create an account yet, but was able to play a bit with the concept. What exactly is the selling point? In terms of architecture, is it just a wrap? How does it differ from asking claude, for example, to trigger trading actions, or to build a trading bot?
Otherwise, great concept, I appreciate the fact that you have to answer set amount of questions before anything is actually "built" to avoid a mess.
Hey, co-founder of Halcyon here. Thanks for your feedback! We want to help traders build their own automated strategies without touching a line of code. AI tools nowadays are great for building an initial functional strategy. But building visibility around the strategy and iterating further on it takes not only time and effort, but also a continuous understanding of all the moving components in the strategy, which only gets more difficult as the strategy becomes more complex.
We want to make the entire feedback loop easy: building, monitoring, iterating.
This is an interesting approach. I like the idea of describing a strategy in natural language instead of wiring everything together manually. How do you handle ambiguity when a prompt could be interpreted in multiple ways?
Hey, co-founder of Halcyon here. Thanks for your feedback!
Our plan is for the AI agent to create an initial iteration of the bot, but make its logic visible and tweakable without seeing or touching a single line of code. That way, you can correct for any inaccuracies in its first pass.
From what I've seen, you have to answer x amount of questions, based on your original request to avoid ambiguity. Your responses also matter, it's not simply based on 4 questions = being able to "go live", if it still lacks context after the 4th prompt, it will explicitly tell you that it needs a better idea of what's necessary to actually be built.
I do agree though, after 3 generally basic natural language prompts, I wouldn't trust it enough to handle my finances.
That being said, there are also legal implications that I'm sure this project would have to deal with before gaining any type of userbase.
Hey, co-founder of Halcyon here. We want to help traders build automated trading strategies without touching a line of code. The AI agent will talk to you about your strategy to gather enough information for us to build it for you.
Hey, co-founder of Halcyon here. Thanks for asking! Curious to hear more about what you currently use for backtesting and what your process is, so we can build around you.

I thought it was going to be a coding agent at first, but it's an inference chat model that helps you plan ideas?

Building something very similar for sports betting. betbot.io
Can this do backtesting?
