This is a step in the right direction from coding first and then hoping people will come. I think you need more than a count of subscribers to validate your idea though. Ideally you can engage them so you can have conversations will a decent sample size (see the book "The Mom Test" and similar on what questions to ask), and you will know a lot more than just "I got 318 subscribers from HN" or whatever. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to sell stuff to uninterested lists of even 3000 people and getting nothing. I'm in a different country to you, and sample size of 1 speaking here, but I'd never sign up your page because you are dealing with money and stocks and I don't recognise you as a banking institution. So I wouldn't waste my time. I've been stung enough by trading platforms run by pig players. I'll use the boring big banks thanks. Things might be different in India though. Unless you are the ex-CTO of Barclays and have $100M in funding or something. Plus its such a competitive landscape that unless you are paying me to trade I can get very good deals out there. However I might sign up for a tool to help me calculate options prices, or can tell me which shares internationally have falling the most since the COVID pandemic started. That's safe, I'll soon know if it doesn't work properly and it might be handy. Having signed up for that I might answer a survey you send me, and then you'd know more about me. Maybe I'm happy with my broker but I have a big problem with X that you can solve.
