Why do you think that stock and crypto plugins will be very profitable? There are no tools to combine finance data in easy way?

During my 20 minutes I noticed stocks and crypto seem to always fluctuate within a given range. So if you buy in the low end of the range you're guaranteed to see an opportunity to sell at the higher end of the range.

Crypto is just stocks with a wider range and more volatility.

... except for sometimes, when they don't.

Something is broken with HN because I'm also seeing this comment thread in the post about the Yahoo Pipes replacement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42609819

However, when I reply it says Stimulation Clicker at the top so no idea what's going on. @dang?

It was a concurrency bug! I think I've fixed the data now.

A side effect is that the GP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42663527) has a much later item ID than the other posts in the thread, but its timestamp is correct.

Ha, thanks! I was wondering where that post had gone as it wasn't showing in my replies. I imagine it was a confusing statement on a post about yahoo pipes.
I'm seeing the same issue. In fact, the Pipes thread is where I'm posting this.
