Direct Quote

"If you think about trend more from a theoretical perspective...the more lowly correlated P&L streams that you can add, the little bit higher your sharp is."

Market Gap

Investors lack tools to analyze and capitalize on alternative market trends.

With the growing interest in alternative markets for trend following, investors face challenges in identifying and capitalizing on emerging trends. Traditional analysis methods may not effectively account for the unique characteristics and volatility of these less liquid markets, leading to missed opportunities and inefficient portfolio construction. As alternative assets continue to gain traction, the need for specialized analytical tools that can provide insights into the performance and risk profile of these markets becomes increasingly critical. Without proper tools, investors may struggle with understanding market dynamics and optimizing their strategies, resulting in suboptimal returns.

Summary

Create an analytical platform dedicated to alternative markets within the trend-following space. This platform would combine data analytics with machine learning algorithms to assess the performance of diverse asset classes, enabling users to identify emerging trends and evaluate their potential for inclusion in trend-following portfolios. By providing insights on correlation dynamics, volatility metrics, and historical performance patterns, the platform would empower investors to make informed decisions about asset allocation in alternative markets. Target users would include hedge funds, institutional investors, and financial advisors focused on enhancing their trend-following strategies through diversification.

How should I validate this saas idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a saas idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Technical to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your high difficulty idea?

2:35 PM

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

2:36 PM

Based on your idea's complexity and 6-12 months, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available > $10,000
  • Plan for scalability from day one

I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...
