Hey HN — we are a team of ivy grads who built VARRD because we believe everyone should have the ability to find their unique edge in any market, given their deep domain knowledge in whatever subject they've chosen in life without the hurdle of knowing statistics or paying a quant. The problem: you might know more about agriculture than 99% of traders, or understand semiconductor supply chains deeply, or have spent years watching energy markets — but turning that knowledge into a statistically validated trading strategy requires quant skills most people don't have. VARRD is a quant research system that bridges that gap. You describe a trading idea in plain language, and it loads real market data, builds the pattern, charts it, runs event studies and backtests, optimizes stop-loss/take-profit levels, and gives you exact dollar entry/exit prices — all with full statistical rigor. Every step is transparent and explained simply. It also runs autonomously — point it at a market and it discovers edges while you sleep, using an expert council of specialized investigators (momentum, volatility, regime, flow, seasonality, etc.) that each generate calibrated formulas independently. Available as an MCP server (app.varrd.com/mcp) that any AI agent can connect to, or as a CLI (pip install varrd). Some of the top traders in the US are using it right now. We're in acquisition talks on the brokerage side, so the standalone version won't be around forever. Would love feedback from this community.
