Looking good so far! Pairing up the 2-3 letter abbreviations with the logos is a great idea, and should help users begin to memorize some of them.

I think you’ve done an excellent job fitting so much information into so little space. The comparisons between graphs are clear.

This may be just because the images are small, low-res, and hard to read, but I do wish there was a bit more annotation on the charts in particular. Being a total newbie to the stock market, I don’t even know where to begin! (my apologies if I’m just not seeing icons you already have).

Other than that, just a bit of polish to the visuals.

Something that I wish you’d break out of that i’ve seen from you so far, is the over stimulated graphs/text. Something that turns me off about the stock market is I feel like it’s a lot of information thrown at you- and a lot of busy visuals, overall too stimulating. So far, you are just going along with the preconceived stimulating graphics. I think it’d be nice to break out of that and make really lush, beautiful, minimalist, typography and animation to show your information.

im getting over whelmed.
i already don’t understand a lot about the stock market.. and now it is like running all over the place.. can we separate some parts, show less on the screen at one time.. have more control over what you want to see as a beginner
maybe i am missing this because the pics are small, but do i have a set of directions to follow?

I like how to screen of all the stocks looks like the layout of an iPhone, something familiar. Right now, all the visual language is a bit cluttered and isn’t very novice friendly. Work on simplification of the information so it’s more streamline and easily understood.

-Looks good and ‘erethang.
-Maybe add a ‘Sort By…’ option to list your stocks, like a ‘favorites’ type of thing.
-When comparing graphs, might wanna change up the colors when different ones get overlaid. Could get a bit confusing with the yellows running together.

I think you have done a good job on helping the person understand the graphs and charts and aid them in recognizing symbols and numbers. Since you are dealing with money most ppl that have an interest in these will pay close attention to numbers with dollars signs. I still think there needs to be a little clarity in the explanation of hierarchy within the system. I do love the amount of detail in icons.

I think this gets a little visually heavy and this might not be the best way to teach people to recognize symbols and charts. I really like the visuals of the opening screen. Maybe you can carry that style into the rest.

Is this showing how a stock is doing or is showing people how to read how the stock is doing?

I’m having trouble seeing how a buying and selling function fits into the goals. Maybe the screen should be about telling you what you should look for in buying and selling. There’s one layer of data and then a layer on top that’s point out and explaining the interface?

Maybe that’s what you’re doing, it’s a little hard to see on the small screens.

SCREENS!
