  • Step One: All day, every day, millions of tweets on thousands of stocks are parsed to identify the most relevant commentary and ignore the rest.
  • Step Two: Using some fairly sophisticated data science – like SMACD™, the social media moving average convergence/divergence (pronounced smack-dee) – the real-time social media conversation is compared to historical patterns.
  • Step Three: Stocks experiencing an unusual spike (or drop-off) in volume or intensity of tweets are flagged.
