I’ve been building DepthSight for the past year - a self-hosted algorithmic trading platform that you run entirely on your own hardware, so your API keys and trading logic never touch a third-party server (like 3Commas or Veles).
Instead of writing code, it features a drag-and-drop node editor (40+ logic blocks) where you can build complex strategies, cross-reference indicators, and manage risk dynamically. It also includes an AI assistant that can generate strategy structures from text prompts or even screenshots of chart setups.
Since Lemmy is built on federation, I thought you guys might appreciate the architecture: DepthSight nodes can opt-in to connect to a central Federation Hub. This creates a community network where self-hosted nodes can share verified strategy templates, discuss trading ideas, and form a global node topology map.
Features out of the box:
- Visual strategy builder
- Federation Hub
- Dual backtesting engines
- Dynamic risk management that adapts per trading pair
- Multi-tenant support (JWT, Redis quotas) if you want to host it for others
Stack: FastAPI, Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL, React (with a mobile-optimized PWA). AGPLv3 licensed. Runs with a single deployment script (curl | bash).

Built this solo (heavily leveraging LLMs for the heavy lifting in code generation). Would love to get some feedback from the self-hosted community, especially on the architecture or features you’d want to see added!
I feel like this is the 5th “I built this solo (leveraging heavily LLMs…” code project I’ve seen in a week on Lemmy. I get that development is hard, but I’m so tired of slop projects that get one big release and then the dev gets bored, not commiting another commit to the repo ever again.
Also, all of them (I’ve seen) have a new account, and all their text output seems LLM generated, with them claiming it’s cause english isn’t their native language and they need LLMs to translate - on that note, that’s suspect to me, cause translating a human written text, at least with dedicated translation services, tends to retain a human structure. This feels more like they’re generating the whole message.
Doesn’t apply here, but some also had a story about “working in X trade for Y years”. It all feels very disingenuous, very much like marketing. I’d be surprised if even half of these projects are still around in two years time.
Rant over, just something that grinds my gears.
