Trying to make stock analysis easy to use

    I created a new website with some friends about trading systems and stock analysis.

    Trader Bots

    I spent a suprisingly long time reworking the header, and the littlest things can make a world of difference. I wonder what else I should improve to make it more usable.

    Also, is the color scheme to drab?

    Lastly, do you get it? The concept I'm trying to convey might be a little opaque, so I'm not sure if I'm conveying the value proposition of the website very well.

    Thoughts?

    I did some minor updates to make the value proposition clearer. Including the blue module.

    My gf thinks it is too big on her laptop. Thoughts?

    Just had a round of usability studies. Turns out our last design was pretty bad. Amazing what you learn by watching your users.

    After a lot of work, and design reviews, we think we have something much cleaner, easier to use, and easier to understand.

    See our new design:
    Trader Bots

    Do you have any advice on anything else we can improve?

    Our main questions are
    1) What is confusing?
    2) What features are missing that a user might want?
    3) What can we improve in general

    Let us know what you think.

    too white? Yeah i get really mixed comments on that.

    Some say the white looks more professional
    Some say they wish there was more color.

    Don't know what we'll finally decide on. What is a board? Forums?
