Alpha Under Pressure

Stock market thesis validation for serious investors

What it does

Most tools fuel YOLO behavior by amplifying hype, momentum, and headlines. Alpha Under Pressure does the opposite.

Less dopamine, more due diligence.

    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 used investor tools to find the best startups to work at2022 · joinmaasive.com · ▲29

    Weekly Charts of Strong Stocks and ETFs2023 · weeklycharts.org · ▲11

My definition of a "strong" stock is a stock that is rising, upward trending and advancing stock. This project is based on an idea which I have after reading the book, "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" by Nicolas Darvas. I have used UNIX shell scripts and GNU Awk to calculate the statistic; and HTML, CSS and SVG for presentation; and GNU Make for building this project. The stock prices and industry profile of the companies are sourced from finance.yahoo.com. I…
