Send us your dumbest trading ideas.

We’re @scalar_field_ , a YC-backed agentic trading platform where you can backtest weird market ideas and deploy them through real connected platforms like Robinhood, Polymarket, and others.

Examples:

- Buy whatever Trump talks about positively
- Buy companies after they appoint an Indian-origin CEO
- Rotate into defense stocks when UFO news trends
- Follow stocks becoming popular on Reddit

We’ll test the best ones, rank them on a public leaderboard 🏆, and shout out the craziest ideas.

If they actually work, we’ll put real money behind the top performers 💸

Drop your worst/best idea below.

Seeing a lot of posts about @AnthropicAI’s new Fable 5 model capabilities, so we decided to launch something fun:

Fable 5 Agentic Equity ETF

An agentic ETF powered by Claude Fable 5 that researches, monitors, and rebalances a portfolio automatically.

Connect @RobinhoodApp or @public and let the Fable 5 agentic ETF manage it for you.

The promoter is increasing the shareholding. FII & DII are also increasing the holding while quarterly results are muted. Are future results going to be better?

Public shareholding has come down from 22% to under 17%. Guess the company?

7. 💰 Free Cash Flow must be consistent
Exception: if negative, are they investing in high-ROI projects?

8. 🧮 FCF/Sales > 5%
