Thread : Tech Stack at our Company

1) Technology is at the core of how we approach trading & we consider ourselves as much a technology company as a trading firm.

The tech team has remained under the hood so let me introduce the team & the tech stack used.

#Technologies
2) Django :

We use the Django framework for most of our web apps (in house scanners) as it encourages rapid development & clean, pragmatic design.
3) Python

Python is extensively used for backtesting as various open-source modules like pandas, NumPy, Talib, Backtrader, FFN, Matplotlib, and many more data analytics & visualization tools are built on top of it.

Python helps us in analysing large datasets in a easy way
4) Postgres DataBase:

Postgres database nodes to store and retrieve a gigantic amount of data our market data API’s fetches from the exchange in real-time

Data across multiple instruments, across multiple expiries,across multiple strikes for last many years is stored
5)Machine Learning:

Bit of ML to optimise entry & exit conditions of specific systems

Decision Trees are employed to split data continuously according to a certain parameter.

Tools : Scikit-learn, TensorFLow & Keras
6)AWS Cloud Server & Digital Ocean

Used for storing all data that is generated & hosting virtual servers ( for websites & internal applications)
7a) Scheduling (Cron Job):

Under the hood of our various automated trading algos, alerts systems, risk management systems lie countless cron jobs which help schedule tasks.

Software interrupts are employed to manage synchronous events for our Algo trading bots.
7b ) Risk Management:

A master node collects all the events& logs them on a dashboard as a centralized knowledge hub for all open positions.

To keep check of an unsystematic risk event like exchange blackout etc the master dashboard provides endpoints to manually manage trades.
8) So I provided a quick & broad, overview of our stack.

In future posts, I’ll explain them in more detail & also introduce you to the tech team(not active much on twitter) & ask them to write detailed tech blog for tech geeks

Warren Buffett nearly went bankrupt in 1962
His biggest bet was burning $4M a month. Bankruptcy was weeks away
Then a man named Harry Bottle saved his career in 6 days
The untold story of Buffett’s riskiest investment  🧵Image
1) Young Buffett thought he struck gold
He bet big on Dempster Mill, a struggling windmill manufacturer
Stock price: $18/share
Book value: $72/share
A 75% discount is the perfect Ben Graham-style bargain
By 1961, he owned 70% of the company Image
2) But the numbers were lying
Dempster made up 21% of Buffett’s fund
Cash: $166K
Debt: $2.3M
$4M of inventory sat rotting in warehouses some of it since 1909
Bankruptcy was weeks away. Buffett was trapped Image

Trading in the Zone – Mark Douglas
Most traders lose not because of bad strategies… but because of bad mindsets.
Mark Douglas explains why trading psychology is the real edge.
Here’s the full breakdown 🧵 Image
1)The Core Idea

Trading isn’t about predicting the market.
It’s about learning to:
- Think in probabilities
- Control your emotions
- Execute with discipline
Success = consistency, not prediction.
2) Why Traders Fail

Douglas says most traders fall into 3 traps:
- Need to be right → They can’t accept losses.
- Random reinforcement → A few lucky wins create overconfidence.
- Emotional trading → Fear, greed, and hope drive decisions.
Result: they sabotage themselves, even with good strategies.
