Fincept Terminal v1.0 – Open-Source Finance Terminal
Fincept Terminal revolutionizes financial data access. For years, financial professionals have relied on Bloomberg Terminal, a strong but prohibitively costly instrument that costs more than $25,000 per year. Due to the high cost, access to premium financial data and market insights is limited to major institutions, hedge funds, and high-net-worth individuals. The obstacles to entrance into financial research remain extremely high, putting independent traders, entrepreneurs, and academics at a disadvantage. What is a Fincept Terminal?

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Fincept Terminal revolutionizes financial data access. For years, financial professionals have relied on Bloomberg Terminal, a strong but prohibitively costly instrument that costs more than $25,000 per year. Due to the high cost, access to premium financial data and market insights is limited to major institutions, hedge funds, and high-net-worth individuals. The obstacles to entrance into financial research remain extremely high, putting independent traders, entrepreneurs, and academics at a disadvantage. What is a Fincept Terminal? Fincept Terminal is an open-source financial research platform developed for investors, traders, and analysts that want high-quality financial data at a reasonable price. The platform offers: - Real-time market data, including stocks, currencies, commodities, and cryptocurrency. -Advanced Analytics: Instant insights with built-in analytical tools. -Macroeconomic and alternative data- Stay ahead of the global economy. -Customizable and Open-Source - Extend and adapt to your individual needs. Why Open Source? The banking sector has traditionally relied on closed systems with paywalls and black-box data. Our goal in making Fincept Terminal open source is to promote transparency, flexibility, and affordability. Developers may contribute, improve, and integrate the platform into their workflows, while financial professionals can customize the system to meet their specific requirements rather than being trapped behind proprietary solutions. Who is this for? -Independent traders seeking low-cost or free alternatives to Bloomberg or Refinitiv. -Researchers and data scientists are interested in macroeconomic and alternative datasets. -Startups and fintechs seeking customized financial data solutions. -Hedge funds and institutions are seeking developer-friendly solutions. The Future Of Financial Research We think that financial data access should not be restricted to those who can afford expensive memberships. Anyone who wishes to properly research and interpret markets should have access to the same tools that the world's greatest financial organizations utilize. If you are interested in investigating, donating, or integrating Fincept Terminal, visit: GitHub repository: https://github.com/fincept/fincept-terminal. Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/finceptterminal I'd love to hear views, feedback, and contributions from the HackerNews community. How do you anticipate open-source transforming the finance research landscape? What features do you like to see in an alternative to typical banking terminals?

- BTBloomberg Terminal for LLM ops – free and open sourceApr 2026 · ▲7
Bloomberg Terminal exists because financial traders needed one place to see everything: prices, risk, routing, counterparty health. You can't trade blind. LLM engineers are trading blind. Which provider is degraded right now? What does this model actually cost when you factor in overhead, not just token price? If traffic shifts between providers, what happens to cost and latency? Is your stack dangerously concentrated on one provider? These are operational questions every production LLM system has. Nobody's built the tooling for them until now, so most teams either fly blind or patch…

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
