That was a scratch your own itch project; just so you understand we (folks behind stockrow) are hobby investors who do not plan to pay for services like bloomberg and ycharts yet require tools and access to data in simplest possible form. For us problem is that all screeners (and tools) that are available are either slow, dumb, lack flexibility, are really hard to use or expensive (or all of the above combined). So w…

Thanks for the reply. Agree w/ you on all counts for StockRover; I like your UI much better.

Thanks :-)

Where do you get stock data in general? I've seen many people use the data but never obtain the data.

Generally third party apps will get data from market data providers like xignite etc. And where does xignite get the data? They pay for sessions to receive market data directly from all of the exchanges they care about. This data is not cheap from either source.

Not cheap — not necessary. There are data providers like tiingo, quandl, intrinio (just to name a few) that provide quite a lot of data for reasonable prices.

What are you using for a charting engine? I really like the time period selector

What are people using for portfolio tracking? Google Finance is shutting down portfolios so I'm looking for an alternative.

I work at wallmine and we've just released a simple tool for importing Google Finance portfolios: https://wallmine.com/google-finance-portfolio-alternative Let me know your thoughts!

this is rad! any way to screen for >1 year since IPO and within 5% of the peak?

Thanks! Not possible with IPO for now but the other thing you are looking for is 52 High Change — https://stockrow.com/screener/3ea3c22a-c913-4512-8f84-c47453...

Awesome, the UI is really straightforward, you did a great job!

I usually look for companies up to a year past their lock out date that have some momentum as my goto investments. sadly yahoo finance has closed their api, and i haven't found a decent replacement yet.

Any specific examples? Apart from small errors here and there data should be accurate.

That's true, everything is relative and it also depends what scale of market data you require. I think it's quite cheap to get end of day stock prices but if you want real time market data it gets steep. The closer you get to actual real time the more expensive seems to be the trend.
