There used to be a exact clone of HN for finance called Quant.ly but this is now some trading tool and i can’t even find evidence of it in the wayback machine on internet archive. Time for a new one, perhaps?

A submission from 2011 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2841045) seems to give you some sort of proof, people talking about "Gotta love the HN format" and "http://quant.ly/newest says the latest 3 posts" so seems to have been something like HN at least.
In the submission there was a mention of "HN for business" as well (http://forlue.com), but that links to some ad-infested abomination now.

#45Unlikely. Here's a Hacker News lookalike [1] for Machine Learning. You'll see that the latest post was 11 days ago, and the one before that 29 days ago and the one before 54. Most topics have one or zero comments. And ML is a much more popular topic than finance. The great thing about HN is that it does not restrict the topics. People can bring up anything they find interesting. As soon as you want to limit the discu…
> Here's a Hacker News lookalike [1] for Machine Learning. You'll see that the latest post was 11 days ago, and the one before that 29 days ago and the one before 54. It looks like the main feed of DataTau ( https://datatau.net/ ) may not be promoting posts from the "new" feed ( https://datatau.net/new ) aggressively enough.

It looks like a lot of the new feed is marketing spam though :(

“And ML is a much more popular topic than finance.”
Well, clearly that’s not true, unless you have a very narrow definition of finance.

#50On "Ask HN: Hacker News, but for Finance?" ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29557943 ) https://www.valueinvestorsclub.com/ , https://bogleheads.org/forum/index.php , https://www.elitetrader.com/et/ were suggested.
There’s also a r/bogleheads subreddit which cracks me up because there is literally nothing to talk about. Just the same three questions ad nauseum. For the uninitiated bogleheads are followers of the passive investment philosophy of John Bogle (founder of Vanguard) which in short is: 1.
