> This was sad. I built a tool for people who knew what harmonic patterns were. People who had an investment strategy and only needed a tool to automate the drawing of the charts that they would normally draw by hand. Not some gung-ho investors whose entire investment strategy consists of "this random script I found five minutes ago says that stock X will go up, so I buy."
Technical analysis is pretty much magical thinking, so, no, you pretty much built a sales funnel for "people who believe investing money is magic and can be easily parted with it." The customer support story seems pretty predictable as a result.
Well, I guess you're mostly piggybacking on TradingView's funnel.
> Sometimes, I would get a job offer. Yay! For writing PineScript for a living. Nay!
Reasonable, but then why bother with a hobby project like this?
