That makes a lot of sense, and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the community’s context and mindset.If the overarching sentiment is anti-corporate, then taking the core infrastructure out of the hands of proprietary, rent-seeking SaaS companies (who charge monthly fees just to hold your data) and open-sourcing it so anyone can run it on their own hardware feels like it aligns with that ethos-even if the domain itself is controversial.But putting the financial aspect completely aside: the reason I chose to build this is that the trading domain offers a level of raw engineering complexity that you rarely find in standard self-hosted apps. Handling real-time exchange WebSocket streams, fanning out market data via Redis, managing stateful Celery workers, and ensuring strict multi-tenant isolation (with JWT and Redis ACL quotas) is a massive architectural challenge. Even if you or others here have absolutely zero interest in participating in algorithmic trading, I was hoping the community might appreciate the architecture and the implementation itself.

You keep pretending like you understand and appreciate the critique, and then you try to argue why we should like this anyway. Which one is it?
Also “please respect this because of the massive architectural challenge it was to make” is really out of touch because you don’t get to complain that making it was sooo haaard when you do it in the most lazy way possible.
You are an arrogant fool who does not listen to critique. You just happen to vibe code apps to speculate on financial markets. The flak you are getting is mostly from the first one, despite the second one not getting you any sympathy either.
