I am working on a back-testing system as part of a research project for my senior thesis. Would anyone be interested in seeing the system put on the web for everyone to use? Do you think it could be built into a viable online business?
yes, i'd be interested in seeing it put on the web for use. for casual observers, this is interesting.<p>no, i don't think it could be built into a viable online business. most people who have backtesting needs have access to the necessary data via existing subscription services.<p>unless a new service provides "cleaner" data and more breadth than existing services, it'd be hard to be competitive.<p>the consumers in this market are relatively insensitive to price, so that wouldn't be seen as a significant advantage either.
