Looks kind of neat, although being in the middle of 'A Random Walk Down Wall Street', and being pretty convinced of the "buy an index fund and hold it" strategy, I don't think I'm the target market.

Here's a small change you can make to engage users:

Tell them benefits not features. Users will like that more. Make all the bullet points speak for how awesome your product is!

PS: Also you need to choose who your target market is and appeal to them by probably writing it - For wallstreet veterans, new age tech ninjas, etc (I made these target demographics up- you could do it much better)
Top left: fix the typo in the most important part of the page - the title! (Should be 'Quantonomics')
If I'm going to take a service seriously, I don't want to spot spelling errors within 20 seconds of hitting the homepage.

That said, interesting idea using JS to create buying/selling patterns and test them against historic data. That could be handy, if not just geeky fun :)

Interesting concept. Some major JS errors going on all over the site which doesn't give me much confidence on the accuracy of the experiments. Needs some major work but the concept overall is solid.
