Market_Correlation

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I often do worry that retail investors may not embrace our app fully. But our theory is that they should have a chance to access some of the tools institutional guys get. I also think (based on my research) that the market is big enough that we can attract enough self-directed investors who actually take investing seriously and would like some more info about correlations. There are also a lot of people who think they are taking it seriously, but let emotions get the best of them from time to time and ruin it all, they could also benefit from a little correlation education... If you think about it, getting all the data you need for making a complex spreadsheet/database that will crunch #s for you can cost 300-1000$ a month for the exchange fees alone. Not to mention coding/excel skills most people don't have. We just want to give an affordible solution to a specific problem and see where it takes us. We do need feedback on interface and product features however. We do plan to incorporate divergence/convergence elements into our site/app in the future, depending on the response we get from our initial product. What elements of convergence/divergence do you guys think would be a good addition?

Thanks for your insights guys. I do agree that we need to make the app fun, we are working on incorporating some social elements. We are also going to offer a web version of the app, so it won't just be on a mobile. I am hoping that investors who use online brokerages would be interested to see how correlated one investment is to another. But do you think that there is a market for "Correlation education"? Basically a site where you can learn about correlations and have a tool that will help you research and understand them? The term "Correlation" is often bandied about, yet few people have the tools they need to measure or understand the significance of this.. We hope to provide these tools/education. On a side note, what do you guys think is a sorely needed "fun" or "serious" app for traders/investors?

Thanks again for your input, any ideas for where to start looking for some connections to the top correlation experts that you speak of? Me and one of my co-founders have a lot of experience when it comes to technical analysis, trading and market analysis.

Thanks for the input! We are creating more of a stand-alone app for researching the role of correlations across various assets. It will be a neat little tool to see what's most correlated with X, what X&Y's correlation and a few more tools. Just looking for some feedback and some early adopters. Cheers

Hi Everyone, I'm working for a startup that is focused on making trading apps, as we beleive there are'nt enough good ones (I've been trading forex for 4 yrs or so). We're making a web and mobile app that will calculate and scan Market Correlations. We're looking for early adopters, anyone we give us feedback will get free access to our web app in 2-3 weeks when we launch. Help us out, we make a better app for traders, you get it free. Everyone wins! Sign up as an early adopter at http://www.marketcorrelation.com Thanks to all our early supporters. Here is a sneak peak:
