Stock Price Alert Dashboard

A lightweight dashboard that monitors specific stock tickers (AAPL, MSTR, RKLB, GOOGL, CRM, etc.) and sends alerts when prices hit user-defined thresholds or show unusual volatility patterns. Retail investors get real-time notifications without paying for expensive Bloomberg terminals.

Retail trading volume has stayed elevated since the 2020-2021 meme stock era, and the explosion of zero-commission brokers has minted millions of self-directed investors who still rely on clunky native broker alerts or constant phone-checking. The closest incumbent is TradingView, which already offers robust alerting, a massive free tier, and a loyal user base — that's a serious distribution moat to fight against. The $2k-10k/mo revenue band is plausible only if pricing holds above the noise of free alternatives, which is genuinely hard when Robinhood, Webull, and Yahoo Finance all offer basic price alerts at no cost. The most likely failure mode is that the addressable paying segment is too thin: users who want more than free alerts but less than a Bloomberg terminal tend to already pay for TradingView, and convincing them to switch requires a differentiated hook this category rarely sustains.
