How DailyIQ Works
We combine real-time price data, technical analysis, and sentiment analysis into a unified platform that helps you understand what's moving markets.
Our Data Pipeline
Every day, DailyIQ processes data through a multi-stage pipeline to deliver real-time insights into market movements and opportunities.
Data Ingestion
We pull real-time price data (OHLCV bars), fundamentals (P/E, market cap, earnings), analyst ratings, and news from institutional sources every 5 minutes. Sources include Finnhub, FRED, and 15+ news publications.
Technical Calculation
For each symbol, we compute 12+ technical indicators: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic Oscillator, VWAP, SuperTrend, moving averages, ATR, and more. Each is calculated across multiple timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 1d).
Sentiment Analysis
News articles are processed through NLP models to classify tone (bullish, bearish, neutral), extract sentiment confidence, and weight by recency. We aggregate these signals into a unified Sentiment Score.
Score Generation
Technical indicators and sentiment signals are combined using weighted algorithms to produce final scores: Technical Score (0-100) and Sentiment Score (0-100).
Summary Generation
Large language models analyze today's price movement, technical signals, news events, and sentiment shifts to generate human-readable summaries explaining what's happening.
Database Aggregation
All results are aggregated into daily snapshots for fast retrieval. When you load a stock page, you're getting cached analysis that updates throughout the day.
Understanding Technical Indicators
Our Technical Score aggregates signals from these key indicators to identify momentum, trends, and potential turning points.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
0-100
Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions. RSI > 70 suggests strong upside momentum; RSI < 30 suggests oversold conditions.
MACD
Histogram + Signal
Tracks momentum and trend direction using moving average convergence/divergence. Crossovers signal potential trend changes.
Bollinger Bands
Price Range
Shows volatility and potential support/resistance. Price near upper band suggests strength; near lower band suggests weakness.
Stochastic Oscillator
0-100
Compares closing price to price range over a period. Fast K crossing above Slow D signals bullish momentum.
VWAP
Price
Volume Weighted Average Price. If price trades above VWAP, buyers are in control. Below VWAP suggests seller pressure.
SuperTrend
Support/Resistance
Identifies trend direction and generates buy/sell signals. Useful for identifying trend reversals on multiple timeframes.
Moving Averages
Price
20-day, 50-day, and 200-day MAs show trend strength. Price above all three suggests strong uptrend; below suggests downtrend.
ATR (Average True Range)
Volatility
Measures volatility and helps identify potential breakout ranges. High ATR suggests potential for larger moves.
Sentiment Analysis: What the Market is Saying
Our Sentiment Score combines three dimensions of market attention: the tone of news coverage, the intensity of discussion, and the recency of sentiment shifts.
Sentiment (50% weight)
- AI models analyze recent articles and classify tone: Bullish (positive), Bearish (negative), or Neutral.
- Each classification has a confidence score (0-1) reflecting how certain the model is.
- We aggregate these into a mean sentiment, weighted by recency: news from the last 24h matters most.
Coverage Intensity (25% weight)
- How much is this stock being discussed compared to normal? A jump in article count suggests increased market attention.
- Unusual coverage spikes can indicate breaking news or significant events.
- High intensity + bullish sentiment = strong bullish signal; high intensity + bearish = strong bearish signal.
Recency Weighting (25% weight)
- Newer articles are more relevant than older ones. A positive article from today matters more than one from a week ago.
- Sentiment naturally decays as articles age, reflecting how market attention shifts.
- This ensures our Sentiment Score reflects current market mood, not historical noise.

Best Practices
✓ Combine Signals
Don't rely on technical score alone. Confirm with sentiment, analyst ratings, and fundamentals. Best setups have multiple signals aligned.
✓ Watch for Divergences
When technical score is high but sentiment is low (or vice versa), it often signals a reversal. These are high-probability setups.
✓ Check the Breakdown
A technical score is only as good as its components. Review individual indicators to ensure the score reflects actual market structure.
✓ Context Matters
Read the summary and recent news. Understand *why* technicals are bullish or bearish before making decisions.
✓ Risk Management
DailyIQ helps you identify opportunity, but position sizing, stops, and risk/reward ratios are up to you. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.
