AltIndex

What is AltIndex?

AltIndex scores stocks using signals that sit outside standard financial statements. Web traffic, app downloads, hiring activity, insider filings, and social chatter feed into a single number between zero and one hundred. An AI analyst then answers plain English questions about your holdings and flags notable changes.

Top Features:

• AI score: condense many alternative signals into one number per stock.
• Portfolio insights: import holdings from a screenshot and get scored feedback immediately.
• Real time alerts: get notified when tracked signals move sharply for your positions.

Use Cases:

• Idea screening: shortlist candidates before committing time to deeper fundamental research.
• Position monitoring: watch for early demand shifts in companies you already hold.
• Trend spotting: catch rising consumer interest through traffic and download data.

Who Can Use AltIndex?

• Retail investors: access data sources that were once limited to institutions.
• Fund analysts: supplement traditional models with faster moving demand side indicators.
• Financial writers: support market commentary with measurable signals rather than opinion alone.
