Thank you very much, I appreciate that!

I would offer it for free but I believe that it's immoral (and potentially illegal) for me to be able to invest in the stocks when it launches, and so I've priced it at a point that I think people can justify. I tried to match Netflix on price, but they increased it so now I can say I'm cheaper than them.

If investing on Monday is making people more than $9 then it's worth it to subscribe, and if it isn't then I need to rethink the algorithm.

Great marketing here, the tool is so good that it would be "immoral/illegal" for the creator to use it.


Please don't misunderstand, I absolutely have been using it: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/ive-made-over-700-return-w...

But when it launches, I have a competitive advantage over everyone using the service and that doesn't sit right with me.
