"Created a free website that simplifies stock analysis" "Sign Up for Free" Why do I need to sign up for more, this is more like freemium? Also I use finviz.co and Yahoo Finance which doesn't gate financial information and is available for free with no signups needed.

A security layer for bots to not scrape my whole website and burning my server :D.

You can use a fake email address if you want.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Nevertheless everything is completely free.

Well finviz and yahoo are well established companies where in my case it is a solo project. I want to make sure nobody is crashing my server while i am buying groceries.

There is no team behind this project. Just me!

Mind sharing your data provider(s) ? Thanks

honestly i don't recommend my data provider because a year ago when i bought their license it cost me $700. Now they are charging me $2100 because of "inflation" with zero advantages or new perks whatsoever. That's why I don't want to advertise my provider.

Mind sharing so I don’t use them then?

What signals is the AI bot using? Just a mix of the TA indicators? I ask because price forecasting is a data modeling problem, and I'm skeptical of the bot's listed win rates. Unless one knows how their signals work (i.e. what real world market phenomenon you are modeling), there's no way one should trust that edge. Separately, if you breakdown other indicators like CCI you realize they are crappier versions of basic…

Yes TA indicators a part of the feature vector space. However, so far the model uses 200+ features where I pick the best 10 features that correlates the most with the target goal.

In the next version of the model I use more sophisticated features and architecture of the model to increase the win rate and minimize the loss.

All I really want, and I must be blind because I can't find such a site or program, is to anonymously enter some dates and amounts that I brought stock, and see how that investment has be valued on the days since, and compared to alternatives such as mainstream index funds or top performers. Is there anything like that?

Impressive compilation of data, a nice UI, and even a custom forum section? This is all really great stuff! How long did it take you, and what’s your end game with the site?

Thanks you very much. I started to learn webdev a couple of months ago and I thought "learning by doing" so I started to code this website for fun and as a new challenge for me to learn new skillsets. The endgame of the site would be to help the poor/middle class in the stock market to actually make some profitable trades with the help of simple signals backed by statistics. A nice community where we can laugh and sh…

> help the poor/middle class in the stock market to actually make some profitable trades

This is great spirit, but the lower class would probably be better suited for simple index funds. Not that they don't deserve the possibility of higher returns from individual stocks, but it takes quite a bit of time doing proper research to find alpha. It would be a better use of time earning more money or learning about general personal financial management than trying to find the next Apple for a couple hundred dollar investment.

I'm not sure myself if this feature exist somewhere for free. However, it sounds very straightforward.

I will add the feature to my website. Should be online by tomorrow!
