Created a working Prototype
The goal of the prototype was to provide a service that can be used to test investment-strategies based on historical price-data and historical search volume data and compare the results to a buy-and-hold strategy.
The major requirements have been:
- users can use social-login, e.g. google
- pick financial instruments that I've pre-selected and have downloaded price-data for, e.g. AAPL, BAC and S&P500
- pick a keyword (relative search volume data have been downloaded upfront)
- compare the results of the search-volume based strategy with a buy-and-hold strategy based on 10 years of historical data (2009-2019)
- provide visualization and ROI
Here's a screenshot of the prototype:

Next steps are:
- create the business model
- define features for an MVP
- find a name for the baby
- find a co-founder
About
There's evidence that search-trends correlate with stock prices - multiple academic papers have been released on this topic. This tool can help you to find these kind of correlations to make smart investment decisions.
