Frequently Asked Questions
Is OpenStock really free forever?
Yes! We run on donations and community contribution. Core features (tracking, alerts, analysis) will remain free. We believe financial tools shouldn't be luxury items.
How do I add stocks to my watchlist?
Use the search bar at the top or in the header to find a company. On the stock's detail page, click the 'Heart' or 'Star' icon to instantly add it to your dashboard.
Where does the market data come from?
We partner with Finnhub and other providers to offer real-time and delayed data. While robust, please use it for analysis rather than high-frequency trading.
Can I contribute code or designs?
Absolutely! Check our GitHub repository. We label issues as 'good first issue' for beginners. We welcome designers, developers, and writers alike.
My alerts aren't triggering.
Alerts run every 5 minutes via our background jobs. Ensure you've confirmed your email address, as we send notifications primarily via email.
