More updates for @useOccam - last 24h in preperation for a big week upcoming: PLATFORM: ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Simulator - Peaks now count any price that held for a few seconds, not just 5-minute closes, so hit rates match what a take-profit can really catch (rolling out tonight) - One peak everywhere: simulator, algorithm history and marketplace cards all use the same figure, after fees (rolling out tonight) - Fixed supply and ATH readings that made some results look off ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Algorithm history - Calls missed while bundled tokens were blocked (22โ€“24 Oct) are now filled in and count in all stats ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Metrics - New Data Coverage panel with accuracy for every metric - Total Token Holders now goes back 30 days - Bundle metrics added ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Fixes - Fixed an error some users saw when running simulations - Fixed bundled tokens being missed by live algorithms API & PRE-GRADUATION: ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Smarter exits - Test up to 5 take-profit levels, a stop loss, a trailing stop (with an activation level) and a time stop - Exits are checked every 5 seconds, the same as live trading ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Honest results & Overfit avoidance asisstance - Every result leads with a held-out check on the most recent days - Shows how many setups you've tried, and adjusts the figures for it - Checks whether nearby settings hold up, so you can tell a real edge from a lucky one - Warnings are friendly notes and never block you; small, selective algorithms are fine (rolling out tonight) ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Better data - Simulations use each token's supply and ATH as they were at the time - Precision and recall for every metric, refreshed daily - Winner stats now work on any size of group (rolling out tonight) ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Pre-graduation - Curve metrics can be simulated back to 14 Oct - Graduation records fixed for 90 tokens (rolling out tonight) - Clearer labels showing which metrics work before graduation, plus a one-click switch to include pre-grad tokens ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Coming next - Every metric's value for each token, with its peak, time to peak and dip before peak - Threshold scan: test a range of values for one rule in a single call - See which rule is doing the work, plus tokens that just missed - Your algorithms' rules returned straight to your AI

Patch Notes from last 24 hours: Some immediately live onto platform. Some is work & fixes on upcoming features. ๐Ÿค– API + AI: - Metrics use the same names as in the app - Checking an algorithm lists every problem at once, so you can fix them all in one go. - Backtest over 1โ€“30 days or pick custom dates. - Results show what a follower actually earns after fees, plus a check on the most recent third of the period to spot lucky results. - Run 2 backtests at once, with more queued behind them. - Save algorithms straight to your account and list the ones you've built. - See winning-token stats to help shape your rules. - Check how many backtests and saves you have left today. - Fixed errors some backtests were hitting. - Clearer error messages that say exactly what to change. - Fixed limits, units and labels on metrics. - Smoother setup page for connecting your AI app. ๐Ÿšง Algorithm Builder - New Data Coverage panel: see how far back each metric goes, how often it updates, its accuracy, and any known gaps. Download it all as a CSV. - Algorithms built with AI or through the API now carry a badge. - Cleaner header and marketplace cards. - Publicised internal guardrails on this page for transparency Metrics - New launch bundle metrics: - Launch Bundle SOL - Creator Bought - Supply Share - Largest Wallet - Total Token Holders now goes back to 25 Sep. - Tokens bought in a launch bundle are no longer ficlude every graduated token. Pre-Graduation Tokens - Backtests on pre-graduation tokens now go back to 14 Oct. - More complete curve data, with gaps filled in. Next update out tomorrow, specific focus on encouraging the API to avoid letting you overfit what you build and guide you in the direction of something thatโ€™d reflect your results from backtesting to reality. Additionally, implementing trading outputs into the simulations, eg various TPs, SLS etc.

Est. 60,000 - 140,000 ask AI every month for help in building crypto trading algorithms + bots. AI Discoverability is important, here's what we've done today: - Occam is now readable by AI - Claude, ChatGPT and the rest can find out what we do and recommend us. - New AI-first guides with native & healthy copywriting. "AI-SEO" if you want to call it that. - Fully indexable. Search engines and AI crawlers see everything. - Launch kit ready & approved: official MCP Registry listing, a Claude plugin and open-source examples go live the moment our AI API opens. It all adds up.

releasing this soon > appeals to gamblers > 3/4 of PF volume lies here opens the doors to algorithms being published like: "2% hitrate on 100x being hit" whereby users set $10 per buy and let it run all day, every day so much of crypto consumers are here to chase that higher multiple, not a 30% gain occasionally I overlooked that soon offering both

Okay so to run through a few things from some discussion in the lounge earlier today: API Benefits & Token Requirement: What would happen before with previous scraping of the website on your own AI tools: โŒ Breaks on site changes โŒ Could only read data, not build for you โŒ Didn't know exactly the data definitions, internal rules & ranges โŒ Unaware of hardcoded safety nets / guardrails Whereas now, in using what we're providing: โœ… No guess work, everything is precise โœ… Stays true on all upcoming site changes โœ… 1-click implementation of your design onto platform โœ… Given the 'brain' provided, Each metric comes with what it means, its units and its sensible range, so your AI writes rules that actually work the first time But most importantly... โœ… Absolutely honest and 1:1 backtest results with what's happening in reality A few more additional benefits I think are important & shouldn't be brushed over: โœ… Algorithm Creation Scaling The quantity & ease of designing has become infinitely quicker & easier. A simple prompt as "Generate and publish 5 algorithms all hitting 10% over their base rate, monitor them over the next week and come back to me in 7days with any improvements you'd make, then apply and publish" is entirely possible. The marketplace should be flooded with far more profitable options. โœ… External Attention If I go onto claude and say "I want to design a profitable algorithm for predictions markets" i'll immediately be referred to Polymarkets Clob API via the AI tool i'm using. Bringing direction traffic & volume to their platform from what I build. As it stands, there are very few/weak offerings in crypto for what we've built here. Quite quickly (especially via a few sneaky things we've done in our docs...) Occam will be pushed as the primary offering for those building automated trading bots for crypto that have no idea who we are. $OCCAM holdings for API access: It's the right direction to go, but I think it's a heavy net benefit for us to provide base access for free. For the reasons above, and to promote activity. The substantial increase in algorithms published & used will carry their weight in token demand & platform eyeball regardless. But, I think releasing this feature opens so many doors for what we can do in token holding requirements: Upsell Features; > AI Designed AutoTraders catered to each algorithm > Increased usage (more sims/day etc) > Longer backtests > Daily check-in on AutoTraders & Algorithms giving report on suggestions + 1-click improvements > 'Sniper Mode' your AI builds a rule that catches newly launched tokens in their first minutes, tests it, then drafts an AutoTrader for it. All merely discussion points for now, but lots to think about! Creating & selling the story on succesful algorithms built & traded on from the API's and future upgraded features is a dream for $OCCAM demand and isn't a hard-sell in the slightest Will share some teasers on the API/AI in action later today
Occam - Reviving the Business, Token & Excitement: Updates, effectively immediately. Let's dive into it, in this tweet we will cover: > Financials & $OCCAM token > Profiles > Metrics & Data > API & AI Compatibility > Platform Volume & Market Expansion There will be no beating around the bush here. No marketing speak, just setting the record straight. Truths & facts only. ๐Ÿ’ฐ Financials & $OCCAM token: We came far too close to having to close shop, too soon after launch. Our incomings were minimal, our outgoings were very, very high. Approx $60k/mo at it's peak. Here's what I think we did wrong: > Took too long to launch, causing too much seed bloat as we required funding to build out (computational + staff - this was 16mo of consecutive outgoings, no incomings) > Requiring us to launch at too high a MCAP. > Consequently, the chart looked awful on day 1 as it came down to it's true-value price. > The first impression anyone has of a crypto project, realistically - is their chart. > The chart being ugly, put off potential users. If the chart is down only, there product won't be good. Skip. The costs were crippling post launch. But, i'm sat on a product that has had near 7-figs of spend on, that truly works and is ultimately the best automated trading platform on the market. There is a huge hole being burnt in my pocket. As much as I enjoy building it out, this is my living & full focus. It must be financially worth it to run. So... what do we do? We were sat approx 30/45 days ago with; - $30k/mo computational costs - $15k/mo staff costs Bills overdue and hosting e.g AWS being taken down. Since then; 1) Old bills have been covered by a small sale of personal equity, enough to cover outgoings. Not enough to hurt personal incentive. 2) Our aggressively high computational bills have been replaced by ones -95% lower, with no technical disadvantage. 3) Our metrics & data were previously provided by a partner. Internally, we have rewritten our own offering, with far more flexibility & customisation (more on this below...) with 85% lower costs compared to our previous billings. 4) Internal technical output (subjective) has vastly been improved Compared to our previous peak costs of $60k/month, at this current day we operate at a -90% reduction in business running costs. Giving us an incredibly sturdy & safe financial foundations, with a really healthy outlook & runway to continue building this out to see the heights it deserves to see. ๐Ÿซ‚ Profiles: As touched on before, AWS invoices were the reason for the downtime in losing access, this included user profile details (wallets, algorithms, autotraders) This is inexcusable. Lesson learnt. Never again. Profiles are now fully recovered, 1:1. We have moved from AWS to Azure, with again, costs reduced by -90%. No technical disadvantages. You can sign back into your profiles as you could before, live now. If you notice any differences/issues let us know ASAP and i'll resolve. โš–๏ธ Metrics & Data: Again, as touched on before, our metrics were rewritten entirely. The change from v1 to v2 before, was our provider improving the cadence (speed) of metrics, resulting in more metrics being able to be provided. Now - there will be no v1 or v2. Only one version, Occam's Metrics. > It gives us much more flexibility. > Users metric requests can be acted on immediately. > Large cost reduction. Most importantly... The ability to offer APIs & AI Compatibility which is the key to scaling, usage & volume. In all of our tests, we saw incredibly high recall similarity from sim:real & precision rate (+99%) since our switchover on October 16th. Between Oct-16th, expect 90% In September, expect 80% Here's what it means for you. - Our own data: every metric on Occam is now computed by Occam from on-chain data with our own indexer. Nothing comes from a third-party data feed. - One catalogue: Occam Metrics are the only metrics in the builder, simulator and marketplace. The old V2 metrics are retired. Algorithms built on them are stopped and marked retired, and their owners can rebuild them on Occam Metrics. It's been a rollercoaster with the metrics & algorithms, but this'll be the last & final. They are buildable with and trustworthy right now. Live. What you are looking at, is our foundational version. We will build up from the current offering constantly. Spam us with metric requests, they'll be added. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ API & AI Compatibility: It's becoming increasingly common that people are attempting to build automated / algorithmic trading bots themselves, using AI tooling. The frequent limitations are: > Lack of actionable & useful tradable data. > The ease/platforming in executing what is built. Here's our upcoming feature offering: - Use Occam from Claude, ChatGPT or Grok - Connect with one click, or use an API key - Describe a strategy in your own words and get the rules built for you - E.g, "Build me an algorithm that caught $KIMCHI below $100k MCAP but sticks to 5 tokens per day max" - Mistakes get flagged before anything runs - Backtest on the same data live trading uses - See the numbers behind every token it picked - Review, tweak and save your algorithms from your conversation - Let AI create & publish for you directly onto the platform "Build me an algorithm that has hit a 2x 70% of the time, consistently over the last month" "How would you improve my currently published algorithm?" A few key growth points: > The hurdle on building an algorithm via the platform and learning what 100s of metrics each mean, is removed, but still available for those who wish to use this route. > There should be significant influx of profitable algorithms published on the marketplace > Our documentation is thorough & clear, with dozens of keys provided specifically to improve our 'SEO' via conversations with AI, drawing external market participants towards Occam of whom are looking to build an algorithmic trading strategy through Crypto. E.g, we'll be recommended as a solution to their problem/demand. To be concise. Both profitability & platform usage should increase substantially via a dramatic ease of use. Release = Next week. ๐Ÿ’น Volume & Market Expansion Tokens that haven't graduated yet, capture 3/4 of PumpFun's volume. It is also where information & data moves quickest, giving the largest upside. The large upside, that this market is particularly focussed towards. To be direct - gamblers. Admittedly, an audience I think we've been previously unappealing to with our high-brow offering. We will be releasing full compatibility to newly launched tokens, right from the first transaction. Features: - Catch tokens the moment they launch, before they graduate - 56 new metrics built specifically for brand-new launches - Switch on new launches per algorithm with one toggle - Backtest new-launch strategies like any other - New-launch calls are tagged and link straight to pump.fun - No double calls when a token graduates - Forced safety nets on +99% chance rugs, e.g dead or stalled launches skipped - Filter trading pre-graduation tokens out on an algorithm you run or build Why didn't we do this before? Truthfully, the scale of it was unbearable for our product offering. 100s of simulations on 40,000 daily tokens was too much load. What we've built now, makes it fully possible. Both with metrics being built ourselves but AI compatibility allowing the scale to be digestible. Once again, opening us up to substantially more volume & user opportunity. Release = Next week. -------- - Signals, simulator and site now run on Occam's own on-chain data - One clean metric list in the builder: Occam Metrics - Health tags show which metrics you can trust - Bot-laddered tokens kept out of signals - Risky bundled launches blocked from signals - One call per token per algorithm every 24 hours - No more burst of repeat calls at midnight - Age rules count from launch and catch fresh graduates - Cleaner builder: clearer labels, finer price precision, no dead entries - Simulator signals now match live trading - Much faster simulator, and 30-day backtests now finish - Simulating a saved algorithm is faster and closer to live - Simulator results shown after fees - Every figure labelled "before fees" or "after fees" - 1D, 7D and 30D views show only tokens launched in that window - Realistic all-time highs on algorithm pages - Fixed marketplace stats: tokens per day, averages, top market caps - Leaderboard Average X counts each signal once - Private algorithms stay private, simulations included - Wallets refuse any transaction that would move funds off your wallet - Trading, deposits and withdrawals back open - Every pre-migration account can sign in again โ€”โ€”โ€”- In a matter of 45 days, Occam has gone from a place of conversations happening in nearly needing to shutdown - to a financially secure, fully functional platform with all use restored & plenty of exciting features in the immediate release pipeline. Albeit a low floor, we have held substantially well for the last 45 days considering the entire market has been in downfall and the product has been unusable. We are in good stead, experienced, funded & low outgoings with a ton of rollouts ready to push. Absolute focus from here - is on marketing & platform usage. From there, follows token price activity. No plans in stopping, time to violently reprice this business. Thank you for your patience, we've made it through the other end of winter.

I am again upbeat by the tremendous amount of work that @brwnpb has put in over the past 1.5months. Mistakes are mistakes; it is what it is. The takeaway however is that @brwnpb has never given up, and with that I believe in our founder to bring us to Neverland!

Here's our upcoming feature offering: - Use Occam from Claude, ChatGPT or Grok - Connect with one click, or use an API key - Describe a strategy in your own words and get the rules built for you - E.g, "Build me an algorithm that caught $KIMCHI below $100k MCAP but sticks to 5 tokens per day max" - Mistakes get flagged before anything runs - Backtest on the same data live trading uses - See the numbers behind every token it picked - Review, tweak and save your algorithms from your conversation - Let AI create & publish for you directly onto the platform "Build me an algorithm that has hit a 2x 70% of the time, consistently over the last month" "How would you improve my currently published algorithm?" A few key growth points: > The hurdle on building an algorithm via the platform and learning what 100s of metrics each mean, is removed, but still available for those who wish to use this route. > There should be significant influx of profitable algorithms published on the marketplace > Our documentation is thorough & clear, with dozens of keys provided specifically to improve our 'SEO' via conversations with AI, drawing external market participants towards Occam of whom are looking to build an algorithmic trading strategy through Crypto. E.g, we'll be recommended as a solution to their problem/demand. To be concise. Both profitability & platform usage should increase substantially via a dramatic ease of use. Release = Next week. ๐Ÿ’น Volume & Market Expansion Tokens that haven't graduated yet, capture 3/4 of PumpFun's volume. It is also where information & data moves quickest, giving the largest upside. The large upside, that this market is particularly focussed towards. To be direct - gamblers. Admittedly, an audience I think we've been previously unappealing to with our high-brow offering. We will be releasing full compatibility to newly launched tokens, right from the first transaction. Features: - Catch tokens the moment they launch, before they graduate - 56 new metrics built specifically for brand-new launches - Switch on new launches per algorithm with one toggle - Backtest new-launch strategies like any other - New-launch calls are tagged and link straight to pump.fun - No double calls when a token graduates - Forced safety nets on +99% chance rugs, e.g dead or stalled launches skipped - Filter trading pre-graduation tokens out on an algorithm you run or build Why didn't we do this before? Truthfully, the scale of it was unbearable for our product offering. 100s of simulations on 40,000 daily tokens was too much load. What we've built now, makes it fully possible. Both with metrics being built ourselves but AI compatibility allowing the scale to be digestible. Once again, opening us up to substantially more volume & user opportunity. Release = Next week. -------- - Signals, simulator and site now run on Occam's own on-chain data - One clean metric list in the builder: Occam Metrics - Health tags show which metrics you can trust - Bot-laddered tokens kept out of signals - Risky bundled launches blocked from signals - One call per token per algorithm every 24 hours - No more burst of repeat calls at midnight - Age rules count from launch and catch fresh graduates - Cleaner builder: clearer labels, finer price precision, no dead entries - Simulator signals now match live trading - Much faster simulator, and 30-day backtests now finish - Simulating a saved algorithm is faster and closer to live - Simulator results shown after fees - Every figure labelled "before fees" or "after fees" - 1D, 7D and 30D views show only tokens launched in that window - Realistic all-time highs on algorithm pages - Fixed marketplace stats: tokens per day, averages, top market caps - Leaderboard Average X counts each signal once - Private algorithms stay private, simulations included - Wallets refuse any transaction that would move funds off your wallet - Trading, deposits and withdrawals back open - Every pre-migration account can sign in again โ€”โ€”โ€”- In a matter of 45 days, Occam has gone from a place of conversations happening in nearly needing to shutdown - to a financially secure, fully functional platform with all use restored & plenty of exciting features in the immediate release pipeline. Albeit a low floor, we have held substantially well for the last 45 days considering the entire market has been in downfall and the product has been unusable. We are in good stead, experienced, funded & low outgoings with a ton of rollouts ready to push. Absolute focus from here - is on marketing & platform usage. From there, follows token price activity. No plans in stopping, time to violently reprice this business. Thank you for your patience, we've made it through the other end of winter.
