We track the economic calendar and highlight crucial upcoming events such as earnings reports, consumer price inflation data, jobs report, FOMC, and other major activity that has an impact on the markets.

Opinion Mining

Data & Sentiment

We analyse raw data from sources like Credit Suisse and weigh market sentiment from platforms such as Bloomberg and Yahoo! Finance, even tapping into the retail sentiment on FinTwit and Reddit to provide holistic coverage and a robust sentiment analysis.

Whale Watching

Order Flow & Option Flow

We analyze order flow with tools such as depth-of-market (DOM), cumulative delta volume, volume profile, and more to determine points of control and attempt to predict where big buyers and sellers are facing tough inflection points in price.

We also study option flow in our best efforts to predict where, when, and in which direction the large market players place their bets.
