Built a 200k-edge market knowledge graph to filter false dip-buy signals
I’ve been experimenting with a graph-based approach to a classic trading problem: why most dip-buying strategies can’t tell the difference between a temporary overreaction and a genuine structural collapse. Most systems treat a −5% move the same regardless of context. My hypothesis was that where a company sits in the market’s structure matters more than the price move itself. The engineering idea I built a knowledge graph of the U.S. public markets with ~207k edges across ~21 relationship types, organized into four layers: Operational: supply-chain relationships (SUPPLIES_TO, PRODUCES)…

I’ve been experimenting with a graph-based approach to a classic trading problem: why most dip-buying strategies can’t tell the difference between a temporary overreaction and a genuine structural collapse. Most systems treat a −5% move the same regardless of context. My hypothesis was that where a company sits in the market’s structure matters more than the price move itself. The engineering idea I built a knowledge graph of the U.S. public markets with ~207k edges across ~21 relationship types, organized into four layers: Operational: supply-chain relationships (SUPPLIES_TO, PRODUCES) Flow: ETF and institutional ownership plumbing Social: board interlocks (SHARES_DIRECTOR_WITH) Environmental: geography / competition For each layer, I compute centrality scores using PageRank-style methods (with inverse-degree weighting to avoid ETF super-nodes dominating). These structural features are then combined with basic price/volume context and fed into a tree-based model (XGBoost) to rank stocks after sharp drawdowns What surprised me When I validated the rankings out-of-sample (2024–2025, using Alphalens to avoid look-ahead issues): * Operational and Flow edges provided most of the lift * Social edges (board interlocks) added much less than I expected * Graph features roughly doubled ranking quality versus price-only baselines This wasn’t obvious to me going in — I expected “social” connections to matter more. Why I’m posting I’m in the process of turning this from a research notebook into a production dashboard, and before I lock in the graph schema I’d love feedback from people who’ve built large graphs in other domains. In particular: * Have you seen board-interlock / social edges be predictive elsewhere? * Are there graph normalization tricks you’ve found essential at this scale? * Any pitfalls you’ve hit when mixing heterogeneous edge types? Happy to answer questions about the graph construction, centrality calculations, or validation setup.

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
