NK2 HQ
Independent tools
for traders.
NK2 is Nick Kyriakides' independent studio building sourced, affiliate-funded directories for traders, including WhichBot and NextCandle. Every site we run records a source and a check date for its facts, publishes its scoring formula, and says plainly where its money comes from.

WhichBot
Which bot should you trade with?
WhichBot is an independent directory of AI trading bots for crypto and stocks, plus tools for prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi. Each listing compares price, free tier, custody, security record, ease of use and coverage, with a source and check date on every field, and the site is updated weekly.
It is built for people choosing their first trading bot, or thinking about switching, who want the facts side by side without reading a dozen vendor sales pages. Head-to-head comparisons, alternatives pages and guides cover the most common questions, such as 3Commas vs Pionex.
Every bot gets a WhichBot Score from 0 to 10 using one published formula, weighted toward security record and custody, then price, ease of use, free plan, coverage and data completeness. It is not a performance rating: WhichBot does not measure whether a bot makes money.
WhichBot is funded by affiliate links: some outbound links may earn a commission at no cost to the reader, and every page carries a disclosure. Bots never pay for placement or for their score, and WhichBot never touches anyone’s funds or API keys.

NextCandle
TradingView indicators, scored and repaint-checked.
NextCandle is an independent directory and scorecard of TradingView and charting-platform indicators, covering free community scripts and paid indicator vendors. It compares price, refund policy, free tier, platform, source-code type and any performance claims, each taken from the vendor’s own public page with the date it was checked.
It is for traders deciding whether a paid indicator suite is worth it, or which free script to try first. A key question is repainting, where signals change after the fact. NextCandle reviews open-source code for lookahead and similar issues and labels what has and hasn’t been tested: live-bar tests are still pending, and closed-source listings stay marked untested.
Scores use a published methodology, and pages compare vendors directly, for example LuxAlgo vs ChartPrime.
NextCandle is funded by affiliate links to some tools it lists, such as TradingView, with a full affiliate disclosure. Vendors never pay for placement or score, and it is not owned by or acting for TradingView.
