Reddit trading analysis
Reddit trading sentiment, and a hall of fame for the worst calls
Sentiment analysis across Reddit trading communities — WallStreetBets and the rest. It scores how the mood on a ticker moves, and keeps a running record of the worst advice on the internet.
Reddit trading communities move fast and remember nothing. A call that ages catastrophically disappears under a week of new posts, and whoever made it moves on to the next one.
This tracks tone across those communities and keeps the receipts — daily, weekly and monthly. Sentiment on a ticker over time, plus a hall of fame for the worst advice anyone gave.
What it does
- Scores sentiment across Reddit trading communities, WallStreetBets included, rather than a single feed.
- Charts tone over time per ticker, because the change is the interesting part, not the level.
- Keeps a hall of fame — daily, weekly and monthly — for the worst calls and the worst advice.
- Remembers, which is the thing the platforms themselves are structurally bad at.
Why bother
- Retail sentiment genuinely moves some tickers, and measuring it is more useful than asserting it.
- The hall of fame is a joke with a point: confident advice and good advice look identical in the moment, and only the record tells them apart.
What it isn't
- Not investment advice, and it doesn't predict prices. It measures how things are being talked about.
- Sentiment is one input. Traded on alone, it will lose you money.
Common questions
Can you track WallStreetBets sentiment?
Yes — post and comment volume plus tone can be scored per ticker over time. The useful output is the change rather than a snapshot, because a single sentiment reading with nothing to compare it against says very little.
Does Reddit sentiment actually move stock prices?
There is real evidence that concentrated retail attention affects price and volatility in specific cases, particularly in smaller or heavily shorted names. Generalising from that to a reliable trading signal is where people come unstuck — the effect is inconsistent and heavily situation-dependent. None of this is investment advice.
What is the hall of fame?
A running record of the worst calls and worst advice from Reddit trading communities, kept daily, weekly and monthly. These posts normally vanish under new ones; keeping them makes the difference between confident and correct visible after the fact.
Which subreddits does it read?
Reddit trading communities, with WallStreetBets as the obvious centre of gravity. Reading across several matters because any single community's tone is a property of that community as much as of the market.
