I find it interesting that nobody from the finance community is directly speaking about their experience in this thread.

What's the equivalent of hacker news for financial folk?

Nuclear Phynance at one point was incredible. Really one of the best forums for any subject I have ever been on. I think it is completely gone now.

I have never used bloomberg but my understanding is it has history, network effects and great data.

The data is ultimately the problem with any project like this. Data is not cheap for personal use. For redistribution in a commercial product, it is really a huge bottleneck to get anything off the ground.

This just looks like the standard , useless, retail trading software IMO.

Bloomberg Terminal is that equivalent. Like, imagine if RHEL had an integrated live service TUI and integrated chat messenger system for customers, and you’d get about the same result except for a Linux distribution discussing packages and kernel patches and such, right? And since everyone using it is a paying customer, they can be taken for granted as likely being a serious participant rather than a bot/troll.

I think they just have the good sense to not talk to us bozos. They don't need us accidentally blogging about something confidential.
