dm13450on Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

Started as a way for me to learn some Javascript and get an overview of execution metrics for myself. Found it easy enough to host with Netlify, so might as well make it public!

Do retail traders really care about the small differences between the stock price and where their broker filled them? Probably not.

But it might help educate people, especially after the latest $GME frenzy.

Minor point, but when calculating the avg_diff_price for $GME you should be calculating a return (close-open)/open otherwise days where the stock went from 100 to 105 (5% increase) look the same as days when it went from 5 to 10 (100% increase).

Likewise, when calculating the correlations, that should be done on returns and not prices.
