24 alternatives to Hormuz Signal – Iran war escalation risk from real data

Should you buy oil right now? Hormuz Signal answers with a live verdict built from fast signals (intraday Brent, conflict tempo, strait transits) on top of a 0–100 composite of Iran-conflict escalation risk — shipping, insurance, and energy data, not headlines.

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    OP here: I created this visualization tool as the byproduct of a supply chain class I taught at Columbia. The pedagogical exercise grew into a full blown visualization and paper about global oil trade. The model: The mechanics are the same as the financial network Eisenberg-Noe: Instead of banks, every country consumes oil interconnected via bilateral trading. Shocks propagate throughout the network, depleting oil reserves when bottleneck nodes (such as the Strait of Hormuz) are blocked. Insights: The interesting part is the mechanics of how the crisis unfolds: for example, France receives 0…

    I built this because I was interested in the data. Didn't fully get it to what I wanted, but thought I'd share it nonetheless. Maybe someone has better data sources they could share! Turns out live ship tracking APIs are expensive so I manually just copied the json from https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:57.4/cente... I'll probably have an ai agent do the same thing on some cron interval, if this gets any fanfare. To actually know if the port is open without live ship tracking I found…

    Read the Tape gives players the same 5 S&P500 stock charts per day to predict. You select low, medium or high confidence and then call the chart UP or DOWN. It's a 1d chart which then resolves over 5 days. Alpha is scored against the Monkey Index, a basket of 11 random coin flips at low confidence which provides a tangible win/lose condition. We're two weeks in and some interesting data is being kicked up. Players like to call tops even though stonks go up- 60% of the 70 charts so far resolve higher, players' down calls have only been right 31% of the time. There's a full stats dive at…

    Hi HN, I'm a solo dev and for the last few months I've been building Hikaro, a tool to find statistically significant trading signals for [e.g., US equities, crypto, forex]. I built this to solve my own problem: I was tired of backtests that looked great on paper but failed in practice. Simple metrics like "win rate" can be misleading, so I wanted a way to quickly tell if a signal's performance was genuine or just noise. Hikaro ingests daily market data and runs statistical analysis on various trading signals. The goal is to surface signals with strong properties, like: Low p-value: Evidence…

    Hi HN, I'm the developer behind ChartPilot, a momentum scanner for swing traders. The single hardest problem in momentum trading is confirmation: How do you know a 4-hour signal is valid if the Daily trend is weak? Most scanners just dump data; we wanted to provide conviction. We're now launching our new metrics dialog and architecture to solve this: The Pilot's Score: A proprietary aggregate score (0-5) that rates signal strength instantly by systematically aligning EMA, ADX, and Squeeze Momentum across 1H, 4H, and Daily charts. It simplifies complex Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTFA) into one…

    Hi Everyone, I was frustrated with the terrible news reading experience (Paywall, advertisements) so I created a free tool that summarizes the latest news articles and analyzes the potential stock impacts. This experiment has saved me so much time to help me understand what might be more important than others. It's completely free, no ad whatsoever. However, AI is a blackbox so take the rating (positive, negative, long-term, and short-term impact) with a grain of salt. It may have picked up some nuances within the article to give a rating and you might not agree with it. Please let me know…
