I’m [Aman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandeep-singh0/) (ex-trader from Tower Research and Goldman Sachs), building **Scalar Field** with my co-founder [Ramakant](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramakant-yadav1/) (ex-Microsoft).\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOwJB5R4HxA\n\n### **The Problem We're Solving**\n\nWhy does anyone log in to a trading terminal like Bloomberg or FactSet?\n\nBecause — whether consciously or subconsciously — there’s a **hypothesis in their mind**. Something they're trying to validate as they jump across **charts, news, fundamentals, and macros**.\n\nBut here’s the issue: **Terminals today are built like giant dashboards**.\\\nWhat traders and analysts actually want is to **test and validate ideas**, not just observe data. So we asked ourselves — why not **rebuild the terminal from scratch** to do exactly that?\n\n---\n\n### **What We’re Building**\n\nAt **Scalar Field**, we’re reimagining the trading terminal from the ground up using **intelligent agents**. We started with retail traders as a way to build credibility with institutions—and already have around 800 paying traders, over 34,000 signups, and **$74,000** in monthly revenue.\n\nOur goal is simple:\\\n**Let users test any market hypothesis instantly — and intelligently.**\n\nWe’re building a terminal that can:\n\n→ **Run compute-heavy backtests** across multiple datasets (fundamentals, prices, macro, alternative data)\\\n→ **Spin up agents** that reorganize dashboards based on new signals or events\\\n→ **React to live market changes** and even **initiate trades** when conditions match your criteria\\\n→ **Persist memory across sessions** — so your research trail is never lost\\\n→ **Chain multi-hop workflows:** e.g., _If ETF flows spike and earnings surprises drop, highlight affected sectors and show next trade ideas_\n\nIt’s not just data access — it’s **agent-driven insight and action**.\n\n---\n\n### **🚀 Try it Now: [Scalar Field](https://scalarfield.io)**\n\n---\n\n### **🎁 YC Deal**\n\nWe’re offering **2 months of Pro+ free** to all **YC X25 founders and alums**.\\\nUse code **YCOMBINATOR** or just email us: [**founders@scalarfield.io**](mailto:founders@scalarfield.io)\n\n---\n\n### **What We’re Looking For:**\n\n* **Feedback** from LLM / infra builders\n* **Warm intros** to PMs, RIAs, analysts, or macro researchers\n* **Ideas** on scaling persistent memory + multi-hop reasoning\n\nWe’d love to hear your thoughts!\n\n— **Aman \u0026 Ramakant**\\\n📧 [founders@scalarfield.io](mailto:founders@scalarfield.io)","slug":"NSw-scalar-field-reinventing-the-trading-terminal-one-intelligent-agent-at-a-time","created_at":"2025-05-08T19:00:08.256Z","updated_at":"2026-07-22T13:21:43.594Z","total_vote_count":1119,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NSw-scalar-field-reinventing-the-trading-terminal-one-intelligent-agent-at-a-time","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":30514,"name":"Scalar Field","slug":"scalar-field","url":"https://www.scalarfield.io/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/7b28fd1bee5f680014678e8985405788a687849f.png","batch":"Spring 2025","industry":"Fintech","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30514"}}
