Re: Show HN: Trigger – IFTTT for the stock market
#2Hey everyone! I’m co-founder and CEO of Trigger Finance, which I’m thrilled to share with you today :)
Trigger is simplifying the world of stock investing by reducing everything to an “IF THIS, THEN THAT” statement, called a ‘trigger’. You can create triggers to track all sorts of things happening in the market -- for example, if a stock drops suddenly, or if Apple announces earnings at a certain level, or if the Fed is raising interest rates. You can use Trigger to be notified (in real-time) when important events affecting your portfolio occur, and in the future, can execute automated trades through our platform.
We currently integrate with 8 different brokerages (including eTrade, Fidelity, and TDAmeritrade) for account read-access. We hope to expand this list in the future (looking at you, Robinhood!).
Our mission is to help the individual investor take a more disciplined, rules-based approach to managing their portfolio. Please help us deliver on that promise by giving us your feedback!
Please let us know if you have any questions - we’re here to answer them, Rachel

Cool app! my SO was asking me for something very simple to use, will ask her to give this a try. Is it required to be linked to an actual broker, or can you get limited messages from some other public data feed? For example, get alerts on price movements
Also, side note she uses Robinhood, not sure if there's plans to add that at some point

I'm not terribly well-versed in stocks and trading, so forgive me if this is an obvious question, but:
My broker (Fidelity) charges me something like $7/day/stock to keep a stop order open. Presumably I could accomplish the same thing for free with Trigger. Is there some major difference between a "sell if below X" Trigger and a stop order, or is Fidelity just bilking me?

#5This is a great, great idea. I can imagine patenting it and building a brokerage off it.
Best of luck in launch.

This is essentially Algo trading for individuals. I doubt you can patent this.

Hi there! I'm the founder of Pavlok, a wearable haptic device for changing behavior. We are on IFTTT, and are able to vibrate, beep, and release patterns of electric stimuli.
I had built a chrome extension integration for vibration / beeps / zaps at variable stock prices, and it was quite useful for a few traders I knew.
I am really interested in knowing more about your API, do you have any more info? Also, will you be on Android -- and do you need to have the app installed to use your IFTTT channel?
Thanks!

For what it's worth, Robinhood allows free stop orders without any time limit.

Interesting, I guess I just need a new broker. Amusingly, after I finished my comment I figured I'd log into my Fidelity account (which I hadn't done in a while), and I couldn't because it turns out they don't allow certain characters in their passwords and so the last time I changed my password it silently failed without telling me.
Still, Trigger sounds pretty neat even if you do have a non-crappy broker. As soon as HN picks it apart to make sure there are no obvious pitfalls, I'll definitely take a look.
