Weekly Charts of Strong Stocks and ETFs

Hi HN users, My project is weeklycharts.org. This project generates and shows a weekly list of strong stocks and ETFs. My definition of a "strong" stock is a stock that is rising, upward trending and advancing stock. This project is based on an idea which I have after reading the book, "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" by Nicolas Darvas. I have used UNIX shell scripts and GNU Awk to calculate the statistic; and HTML, CSS and SVG for presentation; and GNU Make for building this project. The stock prices and industry profile of the companies are sourced from finance.yahoo.com. I…

In plain words

Weekly Charts of Strong Stocks and ETFs is a website that generates and displays a weekly list of stocks and ETFs showing upward trends and price advancement. Inspired by Nicolas Darvas's stock market strategies, it identifies strong performers using statistical calculations and provides company industry profiles sourced from Yahoo Finance. The tool is built with Unix shell scripts, GNU Awk, HTML, CSS, and SVG. It targets investors seeking to identify trending securities based on technical momentum indicators.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN users, My project is weeklycharts.org. This project generates and shows a weekly list of strong stocks and ETFs. My definition of a "strong" stock is a stock that is rising, upward trending and advancing stock. This project is based on an idea which I have after reading the book, "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" by Nicolas Darvas. I have used UNIX shell scripts and GNU Awk to calculate the statistic; and HTML, CSS and SVG for presentation; and GNU Make for building this project. The stock prices and industry profile of the companies are sourced from finance.yahoo.com. I intent to open source the code, on github, but have not decided on a license that best fit this project. I would welcome your suggestion. Initialy, I hope to setup this project as a paid subscription service, maybe say, between one to ten dollars per month. But after much consideration, maybe a open source model is better, as I do not want to turn my hobby project into a business and the hassle of managing it. I prefer to share this project with everyone, with a contribution model. I hope this project is useful to you, as it is for me. All suggestions, feedback and questions are welcome. And I thank you for your time and attention, and support. nano17c (maintainer of weeklycharts.org) PS. I am a long time passive reader of HN. Just create an account recently to show case my first side project.

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
