Hello,

I have a programming background, but I'm relatively new to crypto/stocks. What would be some key metrics/performance indicated to calculate a coins growth potential for the future? I may build a web app w/ API's to do some calculations.

Thanks in Advance.

That is not enough, we are talking about economics here and there is not an easy way to predict how a coin is going to react to the markets, if you look at other industries you will find several examples of good products that failed, and you will find examples of several products that were terrible that got lots of profits, so you cannot just look at the components of icos and predict their performance.

No one is saying that a web app would be enough to tell you where to put your money, but more so to help speed up the process of research. There are so many coins coming on the market, filtering through to find the ones with growth potential is essential.

From my experience in business; there is always a winning formula; experts know this and it's what they use to find coins of interest; on top of that they do their own business case analysis to determine to invest or not.
