As a local stock investor at NSE, I have been doing my calculations before buying/ selling stocks.

To ease the burden of doing the calculations, I initially created an excel spreadsheet into which I entered the relevant values required for the calculations.

Using excel proved to be cumbersome since the values ought to be changed quite often in the appropriate cells. Plus, working on the excel cells is not the kind of thing one enjoys while on the move.

So, slowly, I created an android calculator app that executes the very basic calculations associated with stock-trading.

The calculator can be used to calculate basic values like;

- Break even price.

- Return on Investment (as a value).

- Investment rate.

- Recommended selling price for a stated/expected return/ investment rate.

*****

The calculator is available for download on Playstore. Click here to download the app.

Any suggestion concerning the app is welcome.smile smile

If you are an average investor with zero knowledge on finance, use the monthly stochastic RSI for the NSE 20 share index. Invest in the 20 companies that constitute the index when there is a bullish cross and chances are that you will make money. Right now, we are in a bullish cross. Any guy with money who invests in the NSE for the next few months is likely to make $$. Take that to the bank.

While I applaud the creativity, no way I am downloading any app with less than 100k downloads. But I shall monitor regularly

Downloaded it yesterday. Very helpful. You might want to change the colour of the "Calculate" button. That Gray makes it look like its a disabled button. Also some fields do not allow float entries

Stochastic: This word reminds me of one statistics lecturer at Chiromo campus-some years ago.smile

Generally, I researched on similar apps in playstore before I developed this one. I noted that most of the apps that have been developed by Kenyans in relation to the Nairobi Stock's market have downloads of between 5K to 10K. I don't know why these related apps have very few downloads.

During the development, my focus was mainly on getting the app done since I needed it myself. The low number of downloads of the other related apps made me to be a bit concerned when I was deciding on publishing it on playstore given the effort required in developing an android app to meet playstore's requirements.

I hope the downloads will one day get to 100KApplause Applause

OOh yeah. I'll check on the appropriate colour for the button. Thanks.

Even Uber started with the first download. Or any of the most popular apps.

Do you have a web version? For me to download and instal an app, it should do much more than calculate stock prices.

I can make a web version of it.

What more do you wish to get i.e from the app or a web version of it? maybe you can kindly shed more light on this? Thanks.

Downloaded the app. I like it except that I was hoping for an app that allows me the following
1. Create an account
2. Store my various Financial Market Investments data (Bills, Bonds, Stocks etc) & see the valuation in real time (Link to NSE Data feed)
3. Show my expenditure(s) on each investment (saw this in your workings)
4.
Do it today! Tomorrow is promise to no-one.

Yeah. I downloaded the app too and I like the first version.
It can definitely be improved and it will have more downloads with time.
I'd also love to see a reverse of the calculations:
1. I input the number of shares and avg buying price, then it outputs break even price and target return price say at 10% / 15% minimum
People who look for easy money invariably pay for the privilege of proving conclusively that it cannot be found on this sordid earth
