An hour can be a long time in trading terms.
Are you aware that some web sites already offer similar service for free?
Example: investing.com or marketwatch.com which is a subsidiary of Dow Jones & Company.
- anthonytorre 1y agoYeah, totally. An hour is definitely a long time in trading terms. I’m not trying to compete with full-blown trading platforms or real time feeds like investing.com or MarketWatch. The goal is more of a "lightweight companion". Something super simple that lets you track a few commodities and get a ping when a price crosses a level you care about, without dashboards, ads, or login clutter. Think more "quiet price radar for long-term investors" or "small businesses watching material costs" rather than day-trading tool. If I see more people asking for shorter intervals, I could always move to 10-minute checks later. But for now I’m keeping it simple to start.
