Congratulations on launching! Cool idea and a good start. I think since you're targeting the non-professional market here, you need to focus on user experience a bit. Some feedback:

- Found it a bit slow, but guess that's partially the HN effect.

- As per above, I'd make the queries ajax rather than refreshing the whole page every search, should improve the UX a fair bit.

- I expected autopredict when I started to type $... to predict a ticker, would be nice to guess company names as well if no ticker is entered. Probably an essential feature for non-pros.

- You need a clear signup link. And the redirect when you run out of free credits should go to the signup page with small link to login, not the other way around.

- Also look at highcharts.com, they have a stock chart product as well. Hands down the best JS charts, mobile friendly, highly customisable etc.

Thanks so much, this is great advice. Definitely all things we plan on doing.
+1 I like these suggestions given that I was expecting the exact things :)
