How MarketMind Works

Signal-first intelligence for financial markets — showing what investors are discussing, where opinions align or diverge, and the catalysts driving price action across US stocks, commodities.

MarketMind surfaces context, signals, and sources — not recommendations. Every insight links back to original evidence.

TL;DR

  • We track discussions across Reddit (25 communities), Twitter/X (curated analysts), and major news outlets
  • AI groups related discussions into unified topics — "Tesla earnings" on Reddit and "TSLA Q4 results" on Twitter/X become one topic
  • Price reactions to earnings, news, and catalysts are classified by statistical magnitude
  • 21 commodities tracked with government data (EIA, CFTC, USDA) and macro regime indicators
  • Discover screens surface overlooked stocks using rules-based criteria — no AI sentiment
  • Every insight links back to original sources for verification

Coverage & Sources

Reddit

Captures retail investor discussion across 25 communities — from aggressive traders to conservative long-term investors.

Twitter/X

Curated analysts and market professionals with consistent, market-focused output.

News

Major outlets such as Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, and specialised tech/crypto publications.

Government Data (Commodities)

EIA petroleum inventories, USDA export sales, and CFTC Commitments of Traders — published by federal agencies on fixed weekly schedules. Used exclusively for commodity analysis.

Data Providers

Market data via Financial Modeling Prep (FMP). Government reports from EIA, CFTC, and USDA public feeds. Social data from Reddit API and curated Twitter/X accounts. News from major outlets via GNews.

How Sources Connect

Not three feeds side by side — a connected system

  1. Reddit surfaces what retail investors are paying attention to — topics, tickers, and themes gaining traction
  2. Twitter/X adds expert interpretation on those same topics
  3. News validates or challenges social discussion by anchoring it to reported events

The result: a unified view where sources respond to each other, not isolated commentary streams.

Market Pulse

The daily briefing on what investors are talking about

Market Pulse surfaces the news driving discussion across Reddit, Twitter/X, and news outlets — and shows where retail and institutional perspectives agree or diverge.

Every summary links back to original sources so you can verify the context yourself.

Trending Tickers

Stocks moving on earnings, catalysts, and retail attention

Event Reactions

When a stock moves sharply following an earnings report, news event, or catalyst, we classify the reaction by its statistical magnitude. Moves exceeding historical norms are flagged and linked to the triggering event — surfacing the why behind price action.

Community Intelligence

Sentiment is measured across 25 Reddit communities. Bot accounts are filtered. When different communities disagree — for example, aggressive traders bullish while conservative investors remain cautious — the divergence is flagged rather than averaged away.

Strategy Playbooks

Five built-in lenses that filter trending tickers by trading style:

  • Momentum — stocks with sustained directional moves and volume
  • Early Bird — early discussion signals before broad attention
  • Smart Money — institutional and analyst positioning signals
  • Consensus — stocks where community, news, and analysts align
  • Contrarian — stocks where retail and institutional views disagree

Commodities

21 commodities tracked — futures prices paired with government reports and macro signals

Government Data

EIA inventories, USDA export sales, and CFTC fund positioning — updated on fixed weekly schedules published by federal agencies. When a report contradicts market positioning, we flag the discrepancy.

Macro Regime

Real rates and dollar strength are assessed daily for commodity impact. The regime indicator (risk-on, risk-off, mixed) provides context for interpreting price moves — a gold rally during risk-off means something different than during risk-on.

Equity Bridge

Every commodity is mapped to the tradeable stocks and ETFs exposed to its price moves. When crude oil drops 3%, the bridge shows which energy stocks are most affected and whether the move is already reflected in equity prices.

Discover Screens

Rules-based, not AI picks

Discover Screens are rules-based screeners, not AI picks. They surface stocks that match clear criteria such as:

  • Quiet Compounders — strong fundamentals, lower volatility
  • Under-the-Radar — positive momentum with low attention
  • Deep Under-the-Radar — extreme low coverage, early signs of movement
  • Follow-Through Moves — multi-day uptrends with volume confirmation

Each result includes explicit reasons explaining why it qualified. Screens refresh weekly.

Penny Stocks

High risk — intentionally high friction

Penny Stocks focuses on stocks under $5 that attract speculative discussion. This section includes:

  • AI-generated bull and bear summaries
  • Credibility warnings
  • Scam-risk signals

This area is intentionally high-friction and educational. High attention does not imply quality.

How We Show Conversation

Why we don't collapse everything into one score

A single number hides disagreement — often the most important signal. Instead, we use clear language to describe sentiment for each source:

Mostly optimisticCautiously positiveMixed opinionsCautiously negativeMostly concernedUncertain

When sources agree

Alignment across Reddit, Twitter/X, and news suggests the conversation is moving in the same direction. This does not guarantee outcomes — it shows consensus of attention.

When sources disagree

Disagreement signals uncertainty or debate. Often the most valuable state — it means deeper research is required.

Even within a single source

Reddit isn't one voice. Aggressive trading communities may be bullish while conservative forums remain cautious. We surface this internal divergence when it exists.

FAQ

How do you group topics together?
AI identifies discussions about the same subject even when worded differently. "Tesla earnings" on Reddit and "TSLA Q4 results" on Twitter/X become one unified topic.
What's the difference between sources?
Reddit captures retail investor discussions across 25 communities. Twitter/X reflects curated analysts and market professionals. News shows how major outlets are framing stories. Government data (EIA, CFTC, USDA) feeds commodity analysis.
How do you handle speculation vs. real news?
Topics are cross-referenced with coverage from major news outlets. This helps keep discussions grounded in actual events rather than pure speculation.
Can I use this for trading decisions?
Use it as one input to understand what people are discussing. It doesn't provide recommendations or price predictions. Always do your own research.
How does Commodities data differ from other features?
Commodities uses government data (EIA, CFTC, USDA) and macro indicators rather than social sentiment as its primary signal. Each commodity is also bridged to the equities exposed to its price moves.
How are price reactions classified?
When a stock moves following a known event (earnings, FDA ruling, etc.), we compare the magnitude to the stock's historical volatility. Reactions that exceed normal ranges are flagged and linked to the triggering event.
What are Strategy Playbooks?
Five built-in filters (Momentum, Early Bird, Smart Money, Consensus, Contrarian) that let you view trending tickers through different trading-style lenses. Each playbook applies different weighting to signals like volume, institutional positioning, and community alignment.
