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!
Hi @curbstickle_lw, thank you for stepping in and for taking the time to actually look at the project instead of just auto-deleting it based on reports!
I did read the meta thread, and I completely understand the community’s frustration with closed-source, paid advertisements.
To be completely transparent about the two points you raised:
I really appreciate you giving the project a fair look and making a distinction between actual open-source projects and corporate spam. I’ll gladly stick around to answer any technical questions!
The key word there is “community”. You’re not part of this community, you just came here to shill your AI slop.
Calling an enterprise-grade platform featuring a 40+ node visual graph editor, dual backtesting engines, and full multi-tenant isolation “AI slop” just because an LLM accelerated the syntax development is pure ideological gatekeeping. This “slop” objectively outperforms every proprietary $100/mo trading SaaS and basic CLI script in existence right now. If you have an actual architectural critique regarding the FastAPI/Celery setup, the PgBouncer integration, or the Redis ACL security model, I’m all ears. Otherwise, you’re just yelling at a cloud.
Evolve. Or Don’t Look Up.
ew why are you so toxic and arrogant?
I wanted to upvote you, cause I am not psrt of the anti-ai mob, but then I read you last sentence and the rest of this thread and holy fuck are you unlikable and unbearable.
You asked for feedback and that’s what you got. Don’t get pissy when it’s not what you were hoping for. It’s pretty clear that your project is not welcome in this community.
Ooh, I made you mad enough to use your own words instead of telling the chatbot to write your reply! I’ll do it again: Slop.
Actually, I’m still using an LLM to write this, since English isn’t my native language (as I mentioned earlier).
It’s a pity that, unlike an LLM, you clearly didn’t grasp the reference at the end of my last message. You should probably paste it into one of them—they’ll gladly explain it to you.
I grasped it, I just ignored it. Unlike you, I can use my brain to understand things without having a computer explain it to me.
You are right, though, I should have recognized that awkward mic-drop attempt for the slop tell that it was.
