What Are Market Signals?
The Signals page uses AI to scan the market and flag things that deserve your attention. Instead of you checking hundreds of charts and news sources, the system watches everything and only alerts you when something interesting happens.
Think of it like having a research assistant who never sleeps. It reads the news, watches the prices, and taps you on the shoulder when something is worth looking at.
Predictive Signals
Predictive signals look at patterns in price, volume, and other data to estimate what might happen next. For example, "AAPL is showing the same setup it had before its last three breakouts" is a predictive signal.
These aren't guarantees — they're probabilities. A signal might say "this pattern has led to a 5%+ move within 10 days about 65% of the time." That's useful information even though it's not certain.
News Sentiment
The signals page reads news articles and social media posts about stocks and rates them as positive, negative, or neutral. This gives you a quick "mood check" without reading dozens of articles yourself.
A sudden shift in sentiment — say, going from mostly positive to very negative — can be an early warning sign. The stock price might not have moved yet, but the narrative around it has changed.
Anomaly Detection
Anomalies are things that are unusual compared to normal patterns. Examples: a stock that normally trades 1 million shares suddenly trades 5 million. Or a stock that moves 0.5% most days suddenly moves 3% on no obvious news.
These anomalies don't tell you the direction — just that something unusual is happening. Your job is to investigate why. Sometimes it's nothing. But sometimes you catch something important before the crowd does.
How to Use Signals Wisely
Never trade on a signal alone. Use signals as a starting point, then check the Analysis page and TrustScore before making any decision. A signal that agrees with your existing analysis is much more powerful than one that stands alone.
Set up which types of signals you want to see in your preferences. If you're a long-term investor, you might not need every day-trading pattern alert. Focus on what matches your strategy.
