Compare this to what https://quartr.com/products/quartr-core is offering for $20/month.
I know how difficult it is to build a tool like this and you've done a decent job. Just doesn't make sense to me to price it like this.
This doesn't say anything. Exactly how much have you tested and what were the results?
Btw, I see that my original comment has been flagged (not saying that it was you kiez). Maybe because it was low effort? Understandable if that's the case. I figured "This is extremely uncomfortable to read." would make sense for anyone that saw the sharp pink and yellow backgrounds combined with grungy text. I'm pretty sure I have photosensitivity though, so maybe this is not a widespread issue.

There is also paddle, which has been around for a lot longer: https://developer.paddle.com/classic/api-reference/4c7d88de5...
I looked at paddle initially, but was not too happy with their chat support. The content of the support was great but the response time was about 1 day, which made it difficult for a chat type conversation. In retrospect, I could've tried writing longer messages.
So I was looking for an alternative and found LemonSqueezy. One of the founders actually helped me onboard, which I was very grateful for. At the beginning the support was great, but it has degraded a lot since. If you go to their slack, you would notice many people complaining about issues being unattended to for weeks and months. I've had first hand experience with this too. I suggest you go to their slack and check out the state for yourself.
In contrast, paddle's response time was better and higher quality too. I'm strongly considering switching to paddle at this point.
I also have had several instances where iCloud Drive would take forever to sync. The most recent time got so bad (100% cpu usage that persists after killing the process when I added 5KB worth of files) that I stopped using it completely. Tried Microsoft OneDrive instead and it synced at good speeds and gave me no problems.
Saw that your screener filtering is instant. Do you have everything loaded to the client side? If you want some feedback, I think the filter slider for the active rule could use a bit of a redesign. The magenta color is too vibrant for me and the actual bar itself is barely visible (could use more contrast against page background).
For data providers, have you looked at EODHD? They are a bit more expensive compared to FMP but the data is a lot higher quality from what I've seen and they have 24/7 live chat support. I don't know if it would fit your budget but could be worth to ask their support. Disclaimer: I build something similar in this space and I'm currently trying to migrate from FMP to EODHD.
Always fun to see others build tools like this. Would love to chat more on discord if you are up for it. Just followed you on twitter so we could go from there. glhf
Reacting to real time trades easily leads to emotional decisions and that’s one of the biggest things traders struggle with. It just goes against everything I appreciate about trading so no I’m not interested.
Trading is a redistribution of wealth from the bad traders to the good ones. You might make this idea work but it sounds shady. I don’t see how this has any value to legitimate traders. Let me know if I misunderstood though.
- For the tour, I notice that pressing Esc exits it. Would be nice if there is a close button somewhere as well, or at least some way to let the user know that they can press Esc. Currently if someone is using the mouse, they only can exit using the left (Previous) button of the first slide or the right (Start Exploring) button of the last slide.
- Clicking into some nodes and then Reset View seems to spin the view many more times than necessary. Not sure if that's a bug or by design but I would prefer if it uses the least amount of camera movement necessary.
Overall this was really cool to see. I have been wanting to do something similar but based on price action correlation instead of fundamentals. Actually I have just launched a related feature this week called Similar Charts.
If you are interested you can see that here: https://base.report/ticker/ACLS/similar-charts. Please note that the free version only shows you tickers that start with the letter A. The paid version shows you 50 matches.
Overall, if you had just said to only put your money in lower risk stuff vs index funds that would make sense to me too depending on how risk averse you are. But to put 20% in something like bitcoin just seems like a weird mix of safety and gambling. I would like to see some strong numbers backing this up in the past 50 years or so where this would be more profitable AND less risky compared to the index funds.
To my knowledge Black Monday in 1982 was the biggest single day dip in the stock market, where the S&P 500 lost about 20%. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_daily_change...
Also after these dips, did the market recover and how long did it take? Imo index funds are where you put your money away for decades. Over those years, what is the average gains per year?
There is nothing wrong with accounting for extreme events and that’s why all investment could be risky. But I am challenging your narrative.
Out of the truly successful ones, the best example I can think of is: https://qullamaggie.com/about/
Besides the success in trading, what sets him apart is that everything he shares (twitch, blog, tweets etc) are all for free. He is also from Sweden where income tax is public information so you can verify for yourself.
In general, I do think most people should just put their money in an index fund, as ETFs can still be much riskier. But to answer your question literally, yes you are wrong.

I probably wouldn't use it personally since I'm happy with Obsidian and I can choose how the data is synced, but I can see how your UX could make sense for many people.
As someone who got interested in the stock market a few years ago, I didn't find anything that suited my needs in terms of features and design. So I developed a solution tailored to my requirements and eventually opened it up for others as well.
The key features include a stock screener with technical indicators like 50-day range, and a report view for each stock including charts and key financials.
I still use the app almost daily to aid my own stock market research. We currently have a few dozen active users.
Regardless of the exact situation, there should always be a way for you to work on your craft. It sounds like you are doing a lot of refactoring now and that could be quite rewarding, even without tests. If you find yourself trying hard to improve the environment and feel like it is to no avail and that no one is listening, while simultaneously feeling like you can’t leave the job in the short term, you might want to think about how to take advantage of the dead time at work to learn new things or do other activities that improve your skills.
Garuda, I'm sure after googling you found the Wikipedia entry for it. It is just a play on words since Garuda, like Phoenix, is a type of mythical bird.
I just got it a few days ago and I'm about 30% into the first book. What I can say so far is that the author's approach resonates really well with me. Going through the book feels like sitting next to a colleague, who is introducing you to Phoenix and is really knowledgeable in the topic. The book is full of interesting tidbits and explanations about Phoenix internals without getting in the way. I also appreciate the TDD approach including both acceptance and unit testing. The most important thing for me though, is how Shankar condensed teaching Elixir into a single chapter. I have previously tried to study Elixir a few times with the intention of eventually getting into Phoenix but I always got overwhelmed by the OTP material. I didn't want to make the mistake of trying to learn Rails before being comfortable with Ruby again so I put off on learning Phoenix altogether. What Shankar has done is to dedicate one chapter to teach just enough Elixir for you to get started. This was perfect for what I needed and it was reassuring knowing exactly how much (or little) Elixir you need to know before diving into Phoenix.
If you have previous experience in another MVC framework and are interested in Phoenix I highly recommend this series (at least based on what I've read so far).
I should note that the current version of the book is targeting Phoenix v1.3.0-rc.2. Although Shankar has already made an announcement with the intention to update the book soon after the officially 1.3.0 release.
