Analytics and monitoring decision
Deltalytix
A competent developer can reproduce a useful subset (imports, core analytics, a dashboard) in a few weeks, but the full paid product (many connectors, polish, hosted guarantees, and integrated AI limits) is substantial and not trivial to match.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All Deltalytix alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Import trade histories (CSV or broker API), normalize and store trades, compute performance metrics and charts, present interactive dashboard and trade table, optional AI-backed journaling/chat backed by an LLM.
What it still won’t have
- Polished, battle-tested UI/UX and mobile polish
- Multiple prebuilt broker connectors and the breadth of platform-specific import edge-cases
- Hosted cloud storage guarantees and one-year guaranteed storage terms
- Product support, SaaS billing, and shared/public page reliability at scale
- Ongoing product updates and small feature improvements shipped by the vendor
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt
Build a self-hostable trading analytics dashboard using Node.js (Nest or Express), Postgres, and a React + charting (Chart.js or Recharts) frontend. In scope: CSV import pipeline supporting multiple vendor formats with preview and duplicate detection; a Postgres schema for accounts and trades; one connector implementation (file-based import + one API sync stub for Tradovate/DxFeed); background import jobs (worker using BullMQ); analytics endpoints for equity curve, P&L by day/instrument, win-rate, drawdown; web UI with trade table, filters, dashboards, and PDF export of reports; simple auth (email magic link) and single-account billing stub; optional LLM-backed journaling using OpenAI (configurable API key). Out of scope: multi-vendor connector fleet, production-grade multi-tenant billing, mobile app, and enterprise compliance. Include error handling, input validation, unit tests for import/normalization and analytics queries, and CI scripts to run DB migrations and seed demo data.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
