fnchart is basically: Stock Chart + Reddit == facts + context. We then build on top of that a whole new way to navigate historical posts, so that you can actually look and interact with a stock chart by pulling up news & discussion from any time in the history of the stock. Use-case Scenario: You're interested in stock AAA, but you notice on the chart that it fell 30% 2 years ago, and hasn't begun recovering yet. But today you read that they are embarking on a big turn around plan. So you click on the time period on the chart 2 years ago to find out what the cause of the drop was. You find out it was a critical supplier that went bankrupt, and they have only now found a replacement. Now you can decide whether to buy their stock or not, and you are informed about the context. We are a team of 5 (4 coders and 1 graphics designer). This has been an absolute labour of love for all of us on the project. We have always believed that most people completely miss the context behind movement of stock prices. We wanted to build this platform to not only put stock price movement in context, but also to provide far richer depth of information. Most importantly we wanted to allow all of us to interact together and add further context to articles in the media. Our inspiration was when we would browse reddit and come across a sensationalized news article. We would then read the comments on reddit and often find an actual expert in the field that provides amazing context, and creates an amazing learning opportunity--something the news article completely failed at doing. We want to bring this experience to the specific focus of financial news. We also hope that financial journalists take advantage of our platform to discover story ideas, and to be able to use our direct messaging to reach out to experts directly, to get further details on a possible lead. In the future we will also allow users to see levels of engagement on various posts, so a journalist can get a sense of how popular a topic is before committing to write a full story on it.

Can you tell me how would you differntiate from Stockwits? They are long established, have thousands of users and it feels pretty much the same at first glance.

@janis_wilczura Great question ! Go to fnchart.com and try it out and you would understand within 2 minutes what we have built. You don't need to register or anything. Stocktwits is to twitter what fnchart is to Reddit. So I could ask you, what is the biggest differentiator of reddit from stocktwits? Stock twits is basically: Stock Chart + Twitter. fnchart is basically: Stock Chart + Reddit. We then build on top of that a whole new way to navigate historical posts, so that you can actually look and interact with a stock chart by pulling up news & discussion from any time in the history of the stock. Here's a scenario: You're interested in stock AAA, but you notice on the chart that it fell 30% 2 years ago, and hasn't begun recovering yet. But today you read that they are embarking on a big turn around plan. So you click on the time period on the chart 2 years ago to find out what the cause of the drop was. You find out it was a critical supplier that went bankrupt, and they have only now found a replacement. Now you can decide whether to buy their stock or not, and you are informed about the context. We have also a number of tools that are far beyond what Stocktwits has: like our Market Sentiment Discovery Dashboard. Stocktwits is honestly just a twitter clone. When Stocktwits came out, it was because Twitter didn't support the $ hash, which is what was used for stock tickers. Twitter subsequently added that hash, and stocktwits has been struggling to differentiate themselves from twitter ever since then...

@watr thanks for your feedback. A friend of mine was actually working on a similar solution years ago. Congrats for your release!

I’m not sure how you can scale this, that would be a pretty interesting thing to know more about. But congratulations on the launch, and it sounds like a pretty interesting idea 💡

@aashish_peepra Could you expand on what you mean by "scale this"? It scales the same way Reddit scales... so not sure I understand the question... could you please rephrase or add context?

Hello everybody! I believe this is a really useful app. I personally have a problem to understand why stock has grown or has fell so I checked it out. I did it on MacBook and it was so tough to move the chart, i didn't understand where am I and why i'm here. I'd be very grateful for the opportunity to communicate with the founder of this startup. I believe that this idea has a great future @watr

Wow, fchart sounds like an incredible tool for tracking stock prices and understanding the reasons behind price fluctuations. I'm really intrigued by the idea of aggregating financial news, user discussions, and voting to provide a comprehensive view on the stock market. I have a few questions for you: 1. How do you ensure the accuracy and reliability of the financial news sources that you aggregate? 2. Can users customize the types of news sources they want to see or filter out certain sources? 3. Are there any plans to integrate real-time data or live market updates into fchart? I think this product could be incredibly valuable for both beginner and experienced investors. Have you considered partnering with financial experts or analysts to provide additional insights or analysis on specific stocks or market trends? It could be a great way to differentiate fchart from other stock tracking tools. Overall, I'm really excited to try out fchart and see how it can enhance my understanding of the stock market. Keep up the great work!

@dmytrosem Thank you for your words of support! Any chance we could connect l, so I could get some of your thoughts? You are our ideal user profile. Any chance you could join our discord? Answers to your questions: 1. Our data-provider supplies our news feed. It's made up of mostly big names. Part of our platform is voting news up/down depending on if you feel it's better or worse than another one that day. So we rely on crowd-sourcing for quality checking. 2. We plan to add filtering in the future, and that sounds like a great filter option! 3. We have plans once we have enough users, absolutely. In addition to some great tools for visualizing the data, in addition to standard charts. Great idea re: experts! You really get our vision! I very much hope we can connect on our discord (fnchart) :-)
