How it works

Signal scans X and Reddit every 2 minutes, tracks ticker mentions, and compares social momentum to actual price — hunting for the gap where buzz is rising but price hasn't moved yet.

Signal + alert

The key insight: social momentum often leads price by 2–5 hours. When Reddit and X spike on a stock but the price is still flat, that gap is the signal you're looking for.

Trading signals explained

Every ticker gets a signal based on a combination of SMS score, velocity, sentiment, and price divergence. These are attention-based signals, not financial advice.

Signal	Conditions	What it means	Typical situation
⬆ Strong buy	SMS ≥ 80 Velocity ≥ 3× Sentiment ≥ 70% Price flat	Extreme social momentum with overwhelmingly bullish sentiment, price not yet moved. Strongest divergence pattern.	Stock going viral on WSB, major catalyst rumour, or institutional accumulation being noticed by retail.
↑ Buy	SMS ≥ 65 Velocity ≥ 2.5× Sentiment ≥ 60% Price flat	Strong social momentum, mostly bullish posts, price hasn't reacted yet. The core divergence signal.	Ticker picking up traction across multiple subreddits and X simultaneously.
→ Hold	SMS 40–64 Mixed sentiment or price moving	Activity is above average but not exceptional, or the price has already begun to react. No clear edge.	Stock being discussed normally, or a signal that already played out.
↓ Sell	SMS ≥ 55 Sentiment < 40% Bearish velocity	High mention volume but sentiment has flipped bearish. Crowd is losing confidence or distributing.	Negative news spreading fast, earnings miss, or post-pump distribution.
⬇ Strong sell	SMS ≥ 65 Sentiment < 30% Price still high	Extreme negative sentiment surge while price hasn't dropped yet. Social crowd is heavily bearish.	Major scandal, fraud allegations, or sector collapse spreading virally.

Important: these signals measure social attention and sentiment — not fundamentals, earnings, or insider data. High SMS scores can be driven by memes or hype. Always do your own research before acting on any signal.

SMS score components 0 – 100

40%

Velocity

Mentions per hour vs the 30-day average. A ticker normally at 10/hr hitting 40/hr scores high here.

30%

Sentiment

Ratio of bullish vs bearish posts scored by Workers AI. Weighted by post quality.

20%

Cross-platform

Trending on both X and Reddit simultaneously scores higher than either platform alone.

10%

Post quality

Upvotes and likes weight each post. 10k-upvote posts count more than low-engagement ones.

Score colours

Badge	Range	Meaning	Action
91	85 – 100	Extreme activity, far above normal. Often driven by a catalyst, rumour, or viral post.	Check if price has moved. If still flat → strong signal. If already spiked → may be late.
72	70 – 84	Strong momentum. Mentions 2–4× above average with shifting bullish sentiment.	Look at the 48h chart. Is the orange line rising while the blue is flat?
54	45 – 69	Rising mentions. Above average but not yet exceptional. Possible early stage build-up.	Monitor. If score keeps climbing it may enter pre-breakout territory within hours.
22	0 – 44	Normal or quiet. Nothing unusual happening socially.	No action. Wait for activity to pick up.

What to do when you visit

1

Check the sidebar for pre-breakout tickers

Red or amber badges in the top section are the ones worth looking at first. If the section is empty, nothing unusual is happening.

2

Check the signal on the ticker detail page

Look at the trading signal next to the ticker name. Strong Buy or Buy with a flat price line is the pattern you want.

3

Look at the 48h chart for divergence

Orange rising + blue flat = the gap. That gap is the window. When both lines rise together, the market has already priced in the buzz.
