Project / Haystack
Haystack
Haystack is a Discord app for simulated market trades and portfolio tracking. It is designed as a lightweight way to practice trading ideas, follow positions, and build a portfolio history inside Discord.
Overview
What it does
Haystack lets users simulate market trades and track a portfolio inside Discord. The goal is to make trade practice more accessible without connecting real money or turning the app into a trading platform.
It is built as a practical app, not a startup pitch: simple commands, useful tracking, and a clear way to learn from simulated market activity.
