Yes RealTime, the only limitation is the rate limited to 120 api calls per minute
What are the features updates that have been requested?
The features requested are mainly adding more filtering properties and adding new complex option strategies to the screener
What's the agreement with tradier? Why are they providing data for free, can they start charging you if you get bigger?
Tradier is offering their market data and trading API for free for established platforms, see here https://tradier.com/platforms
Their goal is to create an ecosystem of third party vendors.I can easily add the feature to trade options on Tradier.com from within postoptions.app. If I do that Tradier will make money and I make commissions. This is the essence of the agreement.
How many of your users are friends and family?
Zero
Who's your main competitor and why are you differentiated?
My main competitor will be https://optionsamurai.com/, my product offers realtime screening, theirs has a delay of several minutes.
But overall my product has fewer strategies
How did you find your current customers, and couldn't you do more marketing via that method to grow more? Does Tradier also offer an options screener that you're just wrapping, or what's the competitive advantage? How were you able to sign an agreement with Tradier, was there some competitive advantage that allowed you to sign with them that your competitors could not also sign with Tradier or a similar company? Just some thoughts I had.
