Show HN: Stock research website with next-gen alternative data

-- the effort expended to go out and collect a lot of different types of (publicly available) alternate data
-- the look and feel of the interface
A few comments:
-- Who is the target audience?
The user has to convince themselves that this is useful data, and to do that they would have to run some backtests or statistics, and the data in its current form doesn't lend itself to that.
-- Confidence
The user also has to be confident that the data is accurate, and that it will stick around.
-- Exclusivity
The data will likely be useful to the extent that it is not widely shared. Decaying alpha is an age old problem so you don't have to have a solution but what are your thoughts around it?
-- You can get the data with history and CSV/JSON/machine readable format if you pay us $x/month.
-- The data accuracy and consistency trust can only build over time.
-- For alpha decay there will be a few select spots that are bid in auction that can get particular subsets of data early by a small amount of time (a day, 2 days). But there is no real solution to this other than constantly adding new alternate data and maybe not even then.
But I would like more granular increments on the graphs. The jump from 1 day to 1 month is a bit too big.
Also my basis for comparison is finance.yahoo.com which lets me check things like the current conversion rate for a cryptocurrency to USD. Could those be added here, or is that too far outside the intended data set?
I found the search prioritizes tickers over company names so much so that typing "netfli" doesn't show me Netflix as an option. Only typing the whole name had it turn up.
Be curious if you shared more on who you are, why you built it, and what your plans are?
As an investor and tech guy I used data like website traffic, mobile apps ranks, google trends, share of search and so on before strike.market on my own, manually. But it is very time consuming to check these data every month for every website, app etc. So this is the reason why I started strike.market - I want to automate this process. There is "Smart Feed" where you have all the notifications when there is some change in your companies.
Our goal is to put together all possible public data about companies and help investors see what happens "behind the curtain" in real-time.
This is nowhere near the level of alternative data institutional players have, which costs mid-six figures to low-seven figures per major dataset.
What causes that to appear? Jack still being on the board?
The last reported EPS is 0.39.
But should be 3.22 https://www.investopedia.com/tesla-q1-fy2022-earnings-report...
Some feedbacks:
- Lighter colors. See barchart.com, finviz.com - Candle charts, YTD return - More metrics
i'd like a couple more screens on fundamentals, see https://hypercharts.co/tsla for inspiration
but still, super impressive (esp the transcript formatting) and i wish you got more upvotes from the HN crowd!
Looks good overall! edit: looks great, sorry for understatement
Ofc if it’s going to become paid - may not be possible.
previous close by default, real-time if you add yahoo finance api key
We have also our Analysts who choose which data to track for each company – it is really important to show only relevant data, so this is done manually.
Which API's, someone noticed an issue with the data above. So can we really trust the data?
