Key Features
Leverage predictive sentiment analytics and data feeds to help you make smarter trading decisions.
Trade Ideas
CA covers the broad U.S. Equity market across small, medium, and large-cap stocks, filtering through roughly 1 billion Tweets a day to capture all conversations relating to US Equities.
CA’s technologies provide a live Top/Bottom 10 Watchlist, live Market Sentiment and Tweet Volume on individual securities, and once-a-day snapshot on Sentiment from the most accurate Twitter accounts. Oftentimes news breaks on Twitter ahead of traditional media outlets, allowing traders to track sentiment spikes as news breaks.
Trade Execution
Trade Cost Analysis (TCA) plays a large part in understanding how execution affects returns (alpha), especially for large institutional firms. TWAP (time-weighted) and VWAP (volume-weighted) algorithmic execution models, especially, have become very popular over the past decade. Depending on the Sentiment of a stock and the change in Sentiment, a trader might be inclined to TWAP or VWAP their execution.
Accurate Accounts
CA rates Twitter accounts talking about stocks with a 12-factor algorithm. Every day CA extracts the 100 most accurate accounts for each holding period and displays what percentage of those accounts are speaking positively or negatively about securities. This widget is updated every day.
Position Monitoring
CA helps traders monitor open positions by updating Sentiment every 60 seconds. CA’s Odometer on Lightspeed lets traders monitor Sentiment in near real-time and understand why Sentiment on a stock report is positive, negative, or neutral.
