Not long to go now until the pre-ICO finishes

Many successful projects start as small but humble numbers. Team expansion is part of the roadmap. The Alpha version (to be released in 2/3 weeks) should instill more confidence and hopefully convince those who are somewhat skeptical.

Hi,

I'm Waleed, one of the founders of the project.

To answer your question:

In all fairness, there are actually quite a few portfolio management projects out there. However altpocket seems to be more of a social platform where you can showcase your investments and track them at a high level.

What we offer is a bespoke system in the form of a mobile app that is dedicated to helping you to maximise your ROI and we accomplish that by offering a set of tools that allow you to:

  - track your investments at a very granular level (filter by timeframe, currency pair, exchange) in near real-time (limited to exchange API's)
  - set up smart alerts which we call "watchers" that let notify you by email/push notification/SMS of any sudden changes in the market, these will be highly configurable and accept a number of parameters.

A subset of the features outlined above will be available for trial in an Alpha release which will be launched before the ICO goes live.

However, down the line, we have some really cool stuff planned and just to mention a few:

 - machine based learning to process historical data and extrapolating of trends into the future
 - media integration to provide useful trade insights at the currency level (i.e. "GOLEM just released a new version")
 - offer a set of post trade analysis tools, where you can do things such as FX backtesting to test trade strategies for efficacy.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that we are aiming to position ourselves as a "serious trade tool" and therefore value privacy and transparency above everything else. We are fully committed to the idea of being decentralised and for that reason our promise is that no identifiable user data is ever stored by us. The same cannot be said for some of the other portfolio managers out there.
