Hi Vamsi, Nice work. StockTrap is interesting to me since im in that space.
Not to be a Debbie Downer but have you researched the market properly? You can already get SMS alerts for this from trading platforms like webIRESS - most traders that would require a news notification would already use something like this. It would be useful however as a free service but unfortunately would probably never work since you have to absorb ASX royalties. This might change once the new exchanges start trading.
