Frequently Asked Questions

DailyIQ is a market intelligence platform that combines real-time technical analysis, news insights, and sentiment analysis to help you understand stock and ETF price movements. We provide daily technical scores (0-100), news sentiment gauges, and AI-generated summaries of what's moving each security.

Our Technical Score aggregates 12+ indicators into a single 0-100 score: RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), Bollinger Bands, Stochastic Oscillator, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), SuperTrend, moving averages, and more. Each indicator is weighted based on its signal strength and recent performance. The score reflects whether technical conditions are bullish, neutral, or bearish on a 1-day timeframe.

The Sentiment Score (0-100) measures market sentiment by analyzing news coverage and AI-determined tone. It combines three factors: (1) Sentiment - the tone of recent articles (bullish vs bearish), weighted by confidence; (2) Coverage Intensity - how much the stock is being discussed relative to normal; (3) Recency Weighting - newer articles matter more while older news fades. The result reflects current market attention and mood around a security.

We ingest data from institutional sources: Real-time price data (OHLCV bars), Finnhub (fundamentals, analyst ratings), FRED (economic data), and 15+ financial news publications (aggregated for sentiment analysis). All data is normalized, validated, and processed through our multi-stage pipeline daily.

Price data updates every 5 minutes during market hours. Technical scores recalculate hourly or on significant price moves. Sentiment analysis updates daily as news aggregates. Company fundamentals and analyst ratings update daily. The platform shows 'Last updated' timestamps on each page.

DailyIQ combines real-time technical analysis with proprietary sentiment analysis and AI-generated summaries. Unlike traditional data platforms, we automatically calculate a unified technical score from 12+ indicators, analyze sentiment from news coverage, and generate human-readable summaries of why stocks are moving. Our focus is on making complex analysis immediately actionable for individual investors.

Our summaries are based on factual market data and news headlines, not pure language generation. Each summary is grounded in technical movements, sentiment shifts, and recent news events. However, like all AI, our models can occasionally misinterpret nuance. We always recommend validating important conclusions with additional research.

Yes, many traders use DailyIQ's real-time technical scores and sentiment data to identify entry/exit points and confirm trade setups. However, technical indicators are tools, not guarantees. We recommend using DailyIQ alongside your own analysis and risk management practices.

A high Technical Score (70-100) indicates that multiple technical indicators are aligned bullish: strong momentum, positive momentum divergences, price above key moving averages, overbought signals resolved, etc. However, high scores don't guarantee price increases—they indicate favorable technical conditions. Market catalysts, sentiment shifts, or broader market moves can override technical setups.

A low Sentiment Score (0-30) suggests negative market sentiment: bearish news tone, declining coverage, or recent bad headlines. It reflects what the market is saying about a stock right now, not what will happen next. A low sentiment score combined with a high technical score might indicate a contrarian setup.

Yes, use the search bar on the home page to look up any US-listed stock or ETF. We track most liquid equities on major exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX). If you can't find a symbol, it may not meet our liquidity thresholds.

Our Screener lets you filter stocks and ETFs by technical score ranges, sentiment ranges, market cap, sector, and other criteria. This helps you discover securities with specific technical or sentiment characteristics—for example, 'stocks with high technical scores and improving sentiment' or 'oversold equities in tech.'

Analyst Ratings show consensus target prices and recommendation distribution (Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Sell, Strong Sell) from major research firms. We display the mean/median/high/low targets, the number of analysts with each rating, and the consensus recommendation. These are professional opinions, not our own analysis.

The Earnings Calendar shows upcoming earnings dates for tracked companies, along with DailyIQ technical scores and sentiment at the time of the earnings. This helps you identify which companies have favorable or unfavorable technicals heading into earnings announcements.

Because DailyIQ is not licensed as a financial advisor or investment manager. We provide data, analysis, and insights to help you research investments, but we cannot give personalized financial advice. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making significant investment decisions.

Yes, we provide JSON API endpoints for programmatic access to technical scores, sentiment, price data, and other metrics. Check our documentation or contact support for API access and rate limits.

DailyIQ doesn't make price predictions. Instead, we provide technical and sentiment signals that reflect current market conditions. Historical backtests show our technical scoring outperforms random selection, but past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Use our analysis as part of a broader investment process, not as a forecast.

We focus on US-listed equities with sufficient liquidity and data quality. Most OTC and penny stocks don't meet our data standards. Cryptocurrencies are not currently covered, though this may change in future updates.
