Hi aybatse,I think Hansi makes good points. I've no idea what I'd use it for. It is a good way to show off your knowledge & skills. If you can make it appeal to the type of people who use Yahoo finance, you could maybe get some advertising revenue.Technical analysis seems to be pretty widely available for free, as does stock performance. It looks like a crowded market for this kind of page.In the past I'd idly wondered about doing something* where you could load a portfolio of stocks, and calculate the expected volatility of that. You'd be able to plug in your expected returns & get an expected Sharpe ratio or something. And possibly add an optimiser. I don't know if any sites do that stuff for free. If not, it's the kind of thing that could give your page extra appeal.(*Clearly I'm never going to do anything about this, so I'm suggesting that you do it instead!)You have the stock volatilities, looks like you'll have the historic returns, and the back-test feature (if it works - I haven't looked at it) should help predict returns based on your favourite voodoo method. So you have the data to feed into a 'risk management' feature.Presentation:I'm using IE9. The page content seems to overlap the left-hand navigation bar. I don't see labels for the buttons & drop-downs. I'd like tool-tips etc explaining what happens when I change variables, and explanations of what things are.All the best with it!
