Show HN: I built a tool to find trading signals that aren't just random luck
I'm a solo dev and for the last few months I've been building Hikaro, a tool to find statistically significant trading signals for [e.g., US equities, crypto, forex].
I built this to solve my own problem: I was tired of backtests that looked great on paper but failed in practice. Simple metrics like "win rate" can be misleading, so I wanted a way to quickly tell if a signal's performance was genuine or just noise.
Hikaro ingests daily market data and runs statistical analysis on various trading signals. The goal is to surface signals with strong properties, like:
* *Low p-value:* Evidence that the performance is not a random fluke. * *High Sharpe Ratio:* Better risk-adjusted returns. * *Healthy 'Core Performance':* The average return after removing the single best outlier trade, for a more conservative view. * Other key metrics like Profit Factor and Max Drawdown that you can filter by.
I'm looking for my first users and would love your feedback. I'm offering a 30-day free trial of the Pro plan (which includes Telegram alerts) with no credit card required.

I'll be here all day to answer any questions. I'm especially keen to hear feedback on the concept and the metrics.
Thanks, HN!
### Key Changes and Why:
* *Title:* The new title is a bit more punchy and frames the problem more directly. Your original is also very good, so feel free to stick with it. * *Added Market:* Specifying the asset class `[e.g., US equities, crypto, forex]` is crucial. Users will immediately want to know if it's relevant to them. * *Refined Hook:* "I was tired of backtests that looked great on paper but failed in practice" is a very relatable pain point for anyone in this space. * *Bolding:* Using bold for the key metrics makes them easier to scan.
