Quick Context Without Leaving the Page
The Challenge: Price movements without context create uncertainty and poor decision-making. You need to know why a stock is moving, but opening 10 browser tabs to check news is inefficient and breaks your workflow. By the time you research the news, the opportunity may be gone.
The Solution: TradeDots displays latest news headlines directly on the AI Rankings page, right next to each stock, with sentiment indicators and one-click access to full articles.

Credibility indicator
Helps assess reliability of information

How recent the news is (e.g., "2 hours ago", "15 minutes ago", "1 day ago")

Sentiment Indicators
🟢 Positive (Green):
Bullish news - favorable developments
Examples: Earnings beat, new product launch, analyst upgrade, major contract win
Typically supportive of price appreciation
Combine with high AI score for strong confluence
🔴 Negative (Red):
Bearish news - unfavorable developments
Examples: Earnings miss, lawsuit, analyst downgrade, regulatory issues, layoffs
Typically pressures price lower
Even high AI scores may be temporary with bad news
⚪ Neutral (Gray):
Informational news - no clear directional bias
Examples: Conference attendance, routine announcements, general industry updates
Less likely to move price significantly
Rely more on technical analysis
Note: Sentiment is algorithmically determined and should be validated with your own reading of the headline or full article.
Why News Snippets Matter
Benefits for Traders
1. Context at a Glance:
Understand why a stock is ranked highly or moving
No need to search Google or open multiple tabs
Information right where you need it
2. Time Efficiency:
No tab-switching or browser searching
Stay in platform workflow
Faster decision-making (seconds vs minutes)
3. Catalyst Validation:
Confirm if high AI score has fundamental support
Technical + fundamental confluence = higher probability
Avoid purely technical moves without catalysts
4. Risk Assessment:
Spot red flags before entering trades
See negative news that might derail technical setup
Avoid "dead cat bounces" on bad news
5. Fundamental Check:
Quick fundamental validation for technical signals
Ensure you're not trading against major news
Balance technical and fundamental analysis

Best Practices
✅ Do
Check news before entering high-ranked stocks:
Quick headline read takes 5 seconds
Can save you from costly mistakes
Adds fundamental layer to technical analysis
Use sentiment as confirmation, not sole reason:
Sentiment + AI score + chart setup = best
Don't trade news alone
Technical always takes priority (news can be priced in)
Read full article for major news events:
Earnings reports deserve full read
Major corporate actions need context
Understanding details improves decision quality
Combine news with AI score for complete picture:
News explains "why" AI score is high/low
AI score quantifies "how strong" the setup is
Together = comprehensive analysis
Note absence of news:
Sometimes bullish (quiet accumulation by smart money)
Sometimes neutral (pure technical play)
Consider both scenarios
❌ Don't
Trade news alone without checking AI score:
Positive news doesn't guarantee profitable trade
Technical setup still matters
News may already be priced in
Ignore negative news on high-scoring stocks:
Bad news can derail best technical setups
Respect fundamental headwinds
When in doubt, sit out
Assume all news is priced in immediately:
Timing matters - fresh news (minutes old) may not be priced in
Old news (hours/days) likely already reflected in price
Check timestamp
Chase headline momentum after significant move:
If stock already moved 5%+ on news, you're late
Wait for pullback or look for next opportunity
Chasing often leads to poor entries
Forget that news lags price:
Price often moves first, news explains second
Sometimes no news = best signal (institutions know first)
Don't overweight news vs technical signals

How It Works:
AI Rankings provide technical quality score
News Snippets explain "why" stock is moving
Together = complete technical + fundamental picture
Example:
$NVDA: AI Score 92 + "NVDA beats earnings, raises guidance" 🟢
Confluence = high-probability long setup
News Snippets + AI Chat
How It Works:
See interesting headline on news snippet
Ask AI Chat: "Analyze $AAPL's recent news and how it affects the chart"
Get detailed analysis combining news catalyst + technical setup
Example Prompts:
"What's the impact of this $TSLA news on the current setup?"
"Should I trade $AMD given today's news?"
News Snippets + Watchlists
How It Works:
Add stocks with compelling news to watchlist
Monitor throughout day for technical entry opportunities
News provides catalyst, watchlist provides tracking
Workflow:
Morning: Scan AI Rankings for high scores + positive news
Add 5-10 to "News Catalyst" watchlist
Throughout day: Wait for technical entry signals
Execute when both news and technicals align
News Snippets + Pre-Market Scanner
How It Works:
Pre-Market Scanner shows movers
News Snippets explain why they're moving
Validate catalyst quality before trading
Example:
Pre-market: $XYZ up 5%
News: "XYZ announces FDA approval" 🟢
Validation = strong catalyst, not just pump
