Precision financial terminal
A free, command-driven financial workspace for serious retail investors and finance students. Real-time prices, deep fundamentals, AI analysis and a global macro view. Open data, no subscription.
What is QSTMarkets?
Retail investors who research before clicking buy. Finance students who want to feel the workflow of a real terminal. Analysts and professionals looking for a fast secondary tool. If you only need a price quote, your broker app is enough. If you need context, fundamentals, macro and AI synthesis in one place, that is QSTMarkets.
Command bar, multi-panel layout that you arrange yourself, persistent
across sessions. Type a ticker and a command (AAPL GP, AAPL ANA,
BTCUSD GP) and the data lands in the panel you have focused. No menu hunting,
no copy-paste between sites.
Every dataset is public or freely accessible. Every panel shows its source and timestamp. When data is an approximation, the panel says so. No subscription, no premium tier, no upsell.
How the workspace works
QSTMarkets is keyboard-first. Every feature has a short mnemonic. Every command opens a panel. You arrange them as you like.

Transparency
A serious analysis tool needs to be honest about its sources. Every panel in QSTMarkets shows the data source, the as-of timestamp and, when applicable, a flag indicating that a value is an approximation rather than a direct feed. We use public APIs (FRED, SEC EDGAR, BLS, OECD, World Bank), freemium APIs (Finnhub, Tiingo) and our own ETL pipelines, never undisclosed data brokers.
If we cannot get a true real-time feed (for example, single-name CDS spreads), we say so and explain the proxy we use. No magic, no hidden fees, no fake institutional data.
Built in the open
QSTMarkets is developed iteratively, in public, with a clear bias toward open data sources. Together, these four modules add 39 commands to the workspace, all built on public data and all following the same source-tagging principle.
60+ developed and emerging economies. Inflation, rates, central banks, growth, employment, trade, housing and FX.

QSTMarkets is command-driven. With more than 80 commands across ten categories, the difference between landing in the terminal cold and landing after a 30-minute read is enormous. The manual covers every command with screenshots, data sources and tips. We strongly recommend skimming it before opening the terminal for the first time.
