Smart Money vs Crowd
Where the smart money (insider buys, cluster buys, Congress trades) and the crowd (retail social attention & sentiment) disagree — that's where the edge hides. Every flagged name now carries a verdict: evidence for, what argues against, and a confidence score. A red flag needs a macro or fundamental reason — hype alone is only "overheated", it turns fully red only when the market backdrop (risk-off) or the company's own fundamentals (rich valuation on a weak / shrinking business) confirm the downside. Names newly appearing in a corner are tagged NEW and ranked first. This desk reads macro + fundamentals — no technical analysis. · market: Chop / Mixed (57/100) · as of 2026-10-14 16:47 UTC · 87 names scanned · 6 new today
Track record: every day's flags are saved; once a flag is 5-45d old the page grades itself against today's price — so you can see whether red actually falls. New flags need ~a week before they count.
Smart money is buying while the crowd hasn't noticed — validated against business quality, value & growth and whether the macro backdrop supports it.
Triggered = macro and/or fundamentals confirm the downside (risk-off market, or a rich valuation on a weak / shrinking business). Armed = overheated crowd, but macro & fundamentals don't confirm yet — don't chase, don't short yet.

How this is computed
Smart-money score aggregates the last 14 days of the Smart Money desk — cluster buys (weighted highest), insider purchases (by dollar value) and US Congress buys — deduped so the same filing isn't double-counted. Congress sells subtract.
Crowd score uses the last 7 days of social mentions: total volume plus a 2-day-vs-prior acceleration bonus, with mention-weighted sentiment. Acceleration only counts once a name has real volume behind it.
The verdict layer is what makes a corner actionable, and it reads macro + fundamentals — no technical analysis (no RSI / MACD / moving averages). A crowd trap starts at "armed" and only turns fully red ("triggered") when there's a real macro or micro reason the downside is coming: a risk-off market (the platform's Risk-On / Risk-Off / Chop regime), or fundamentals that don't back the price — a rich valuation on a weak or shrinking business. Until then an overheated name is a do-not-chase warning, not a fall call. Confidence stacks independent evidence: euphoric sentiment, Congress selling, rich valuation, weak quality, shrinking revenue / earnings (from the fundamentals cache), and the market regime. A large short interest lowers trap confidence — crowded shorts can squeeze higher. Quiet accumulation is validated the same way: cluster size and insider dollars, business quality / value / growth, and whether the macro backdrop is supportive — weak fundamentals or a risk-off market mark a name "early" (insiders may be ahead of the story).
Track record: the flagged lists are snapshotted daily; each flag aged 5–45 days is graded against today's price (one measurement per name, from its first flag).
