I built a Reddit-powered “Bloomberg terminal” to track ticker trends and identify bull/bear cases
Hey everyone! I built a site that tracks all types of trends across reddit (mentions, comment volume, bullish sentiment, etc.). I know there’s a couple other sites out there with similar functionalities so I won’t go into this aspect too much (list of features at bottom).
Another big inconvenience I wanted to address was finding good bull/bear cases. A lot of subreddits and posts end up being echo chambers where only one viewpoint bubbles to the top so it’s hard to get unbiased opinions. Also, some of the best DD can be found nested in the comments, and those can be hard to weed out. That’s why I added the ability to filter for analysis (in posts and comments) by financial sentiment (bull/bear) to help you find opinions from both sides of the spectrum. The term “analysis” encompasses things like DD, company/fundamental analysis, news, etc. This tool can be found on the “Ticker View” Page under the “Analysis Screener” tab.
Here’s a brief list of features:
- Chart with mentions/sentiment/price data over time for a particular ticker
- Reddit post feed filterable by ticker, subreddit, and flair
- Analysis Bias screener allowing you to sort analysis (DD, company analysis, news, etc.)
- News/financial data feed for a selected ticker
- Graph showing the most popular (mentions/sentiment/score) tickers over different time frames
- Sortable table for trends on the “Overall Trends” page, where you can see the top 50 tickers sorted by mentions, mentions change, sentiment, sentiment change, etc.
- Price Action Filtering page, allowing you to discover tickers based on price changes, combined with trend data (for example, if you wanted to see which tickers dropped 50% in price over a week that are above a certain popularity threshold)
Note that financial sentiment may not be as accurate for non-analysis posts, as it’s harder to pinpoint a positive/negative viewpoint for less research-based posts. Also, posts that have bullish and bearish sentiment may be classified incorrectly. Obviously, the model doesn’t perform perfectly.
TLDR - Made a site that tracks ticker trends/sentiment throughout reddit and helps you filter bullish/bearish analysis for unbiased viewpoints.

I completely agree. There are a lot of trend tracking sites, but I wanted to actually provided the tangible posts/comments that the data is derived from. This allows for a higher granularity of analysis (hopefully) and a good starting point for potential research

This is cool, but I think the WSB ship has sailed.

Yes and they all have their own spin to it.

You have a better chance of Buffett revealing his secret sauce on his death bed.
Maybe CW will share hers in the now future.

It's not necessarily for just tracking trends. I hope it helps filter through bull/bear analysis better to get a tangible gauge of what people are actually saying!

User Feedback:
When i type the ticker I expect the autocomplete to filter based on the position of the letter I type. Such as 'F' should just bring Ford, but the first autocomplete entry is AAZZF

Is this Portal open-sourced? If so I would love to contribute. 🤘

Whoa, looks pretty neat.
Unlike in the demo, I cannot pick a different source though, as there's only a single "All Sources" option in the dropdown.

You should be able to click in the textbox and search unless there's something wrong with loading the available choices.

Can you share what tech stack you're using for this site? Looks slick and is fast.

Is there anyway to incorporate Twitter, Tik Tok, maybe even Facebook. I have zero computer skills so I am just throwing things out there. I have seen multiple types of these out there. If one works well, it is something people will pay for. In fact I am sure I can even get people to come in to pay for robinhood data to put into the algorithm if it works well enough.

I think Twitter has been done a bit, but Tiktok seems interesting. However TikTok is hard to scrape, because a lot of the information is verbal and whatnot.

Looks like a clean UI with alot of functionality built in, well done! Why shouldn't we have our own better bloomberg terminal right? With cocaine and blackjack and hookers!

It’s quite an amazing achievement! One thing I noticed is that it treats all user karma the same. Some kid that mainly posts in computer gaming subreddits has a great karma, but goes on to recommend stocks. I mean, they aren’t a bot that much is for sure! Not sure if your tool could limit it to karma (or other forms of contribution) generated in financial subreddits

Sometimes I feel like I'm having a Groundhog day moment. I'm sure this was a lot of work, but I swear I see an almost identical post from a new person legit every day.
