Hey Stock-Marketeers,
A little context, I recently went to a computer programming competition where one of the challenges were to build a useful stock market tool. All of my teammates left me so I wasn't able to finish in time, but continued work as soon as I got back home and finally uploaded a working build.
I knew nothing about the stock market going in, so I started speaking to one of the sponsors at the event (http://www.finra.org) and they helped me learn about the stock market. I'm still constantly learning, but I (think) have the main idea down.
Done with that, this is how my app works. You send in a text message saying hello to +19013004207. Once you've done that, you can ask things like: "How's the stock market treating IBM" or "How are Facebook stocks doing" or something as simple as: "Facebook" And you can even have multiple companies in your message, such as: "Get me stocks for Google, Microsoft, Apple and IBM". This entire transaction happens within a couple of seconds.
Once you do this, the service sends a reply with stock data for each company. (Opening, High, Low, Percent change, last open data)
Every time you search for a company, it saves it to memory, so you can ask something like "How's the Stock market?", and It'll give you stock data for every company that you have ever searched for.
There aren't many features up right now (Done by 1 person in a few days), but I plan to add many more.
People with experience in the Stock Market, what do you think? Is this something you could use, or features you'd like to see added before using it? Or is this something you would never use?
