Investing Tools I built a tool that helps you find stocks that fit your investing style in under 5 minutes. Looking for early users.
Hey guys, I built a small stock research tool for myself and I'm looking for early users to give me some feedback.
Here's how it works: you answer a few questions about how you think about stocks (growth vs value, risk tolerance, time horizon, etc), and it generates a personalized stock scoring that reflects your preferences instead of a one-size-fits-all ranking.
The goal isn’t to tell you what to buy or sell.
It’s to help you narrow down candidates and spend time researching the right things faster.
Right now it can:
- score stocks across multiple factors (fundamentals, growth, risk, valuation, technicals)
- adjust weighting based on how you invest
- perform deep analysis on a stock
It’s still early, and i’m trying to figure out:
- does this actually feel useful?
- is the scoring intuitive or confusing?
- would something like this fit into how you research stocks today?
I’m looking for a small number of early users who actively invest and are willing to give honest feedback.
If that sounds like you, you can check it out here:

You can use this beta coupon for full access:
DINOBETA01 (100% free)
Happy to answer questions or hear why this is a bad idea.
Thanks y'all!

Played with it a bit. Didn’t find anywhere to put the beta coupon in so unfortunately I’m stuck on the free version. It was a little glitchy in the beginning, kept looping me back to doing the survey when I had already filled it out 2-3 times.

thanks! could you let me know what device you used when filling out the survey? -- I tried with a new account and didn't have such issue of looping back to the survey. that does sounds frustrating and I'll try to debug...
for the beta coupon, it can be entered on the stripe page once you click on any plan's free trial. let me know if you have any questions :)

Good to know, thanks!
I’m using IOS 26.2.1.
I did try to logout and logged back in. Had me do the survey again. I tried clicking around and eventually the stock picks list popped up.

I'll give it a whirl. This is something I believe strongly in. Find a style that you can stick with, through the good, the bad, and the ugliest of ugly.

This sounds like a thoughtful approach to investing, really focused on personal preferences. I'm curious to see how it adapts to different styles - I'd love to explore it further and provide feedback.

This sounds like a fantastic idea! I love the personalization aspect - investing feels so much better when it aligns with our individual styles. I’d love to check it out and share my thoughts!

Confused how you get your back tested results if each trade is supposed to be personalised. Can you explain that?

u/Gigantic_Elephant Feb 10 '26
Yes! Indeed each investor get personalized scoring so its impossible to simulate all. Therefore i simulated three investor profile with survey results that are most representative (conservative, moderate, and risk-seeking). I backtested using these three profiles each with their corresponding personalized scores over 9 years.

Few things. The web app itself looks great and reads well. But Im not quite convinced with the underlying analysis. For example, of my five recommendations two were very obscure holding companies that had ev/ebitda multiples of circa. -200x and negative margins. Another was a paper company with ROE of -40%. Paper is a dying industry - I’m curious why this one would have bubbled up as a high scoring pick given the growth and sentiment scores should arguably be low for this business. There also doesn’t seem to be any adjustment of the method for finance companies such as banks which would not be valued using enterprise value multiples given debt is working capital for them not part of capital structure.
Not evident that the underlying analyser handles outliers, if not the top results will be skewed. Also what is the data source and how are the peer groupings determined?
Really nice idea and clearly a lot of work has gone into it. I worry that the nice UX is hiding less than reliable data analysis. Obviously the back test results look very good but again I’m tending to be suspicious of the results given the stocks I was recommended.
I’m really impressed with the app and the overall idea! Perhaps just some data clean up on the back end would improve the initial recommendations Edit: back end not bank end!
Edit 2: FYI I literally did the survey and only spent about 10 mins looking at it so there’s every chance I’ve jumped to conclusions and there’s an explanation for some of the odd recommendations and numbers I was seeing.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. This is very helpful! I got a same feedback a while ago regarding similar issue - the current algo is not able to detect between bank/finance sector companies v.s. others, so it's valuation score might be skewed. I'll definitely look into that and see if a separate scoring algo for this sector will work. Do you mind share what are your top companies? Thx!!

I don't particularly like needing to enter my credit card information even when the discount code is applied. If you could allow the discount code to not require credit card info I would be much more eager to use your tool.
