FOR BEGINNERS
New to Stock Signals?
You do not need a finance degree. Here is what you need to know in plain language.
What Is a Signal?
A signal is a meaningful piece of news that historically causes stocks to move. Examples: a CEO buying shares in his own company. A drug receiving FDA approval. A company winning a large government contract. These are events that matter.
What Does the Score Mean?
The score tells you how strong and confirmed the signal is. Think of it as a restaurant rating: 90 out of 100 means multiple trusted sources all agree this is worth your attention. 40 out of 100 means something is there but it needs more verification.
What Should I Do With a Signal?
A signal is a starting point, not a conclusion. Use it to know where to look. Then do your own research before making any investment decision. Read the actual filing. Understand the company. Make your own informed choice.
What Is a Catalyst?
A catalyst is an event that causes investors to change their view on a stock. Good catalysts push prices up. Bad catalysts push prices down. SignalHunter focuses on identifying positive catalysts before the wider market notices them.
Is This Financial Advice?
No. SignalHunter is an information platform. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You are fully responsible for your own investment decisions. If you are unsure, speak to a licensed financial advisor.
How Is This Different From a Screener?
A stock screener filters existing numbers such as the price to earnings ratio or market cap. SignalHunter detects new events the moment they happen. The difference is between looking at what a company has done versus knowing what just changed right now.
