How to Use
What is ExpectFi and how does it work?
ExpectFi is an AI-powered stock analysis platform that monitors social media trends, analyzes market patterns, and provides data-driven stock recommendations. Our system scans thousands of data points across social platforms to identify stocks gaining momentum. We combine this social sentiment analysis with traditional market metrics to help you discover high-potential investment opportunities before they become mainstream.
Do I need any prior trading experience to use ExpectFi?
ExpectFi is designed for both beginners and experienced traders. Our platform presents complex data in an easy-to-understand format with clear metrics and trends. While basic knowledge of stock markets is helpful, our intuitive interface and educational resources make it accessible for newcomers. We recommend starting with our Philosophy page to understand our approach and gradually exploring different features as you become comfortable.
What makes ExpectFi different from other stock analysis platforms?
ExpectFi uniquely combines AI-powered social media sentiment analysis with traditional market data. While most platforms focus solely on financial metrics, we track real-time social momentum to identify stocks before they trend. Our proprietary algorithms analyze millions of social media posts, news articles, and market movements to spot emerging opportunities. This gives our users an edge in discovering stocks with growing interest before the broader market catches on.
What are Topic Trends and how should I use them?
Topic Trends show stocks that are gaining social media momentum around specific themes or topics. These are stocks being discussed increasingly across social platforms in relation to trending topics, news events, or market themes. Use Topic Trends to discover stocks that are capturing public attention and potentially positioned for price movement. Check them daily to spot emerging trends early.
What's the difference between Day, Week, and Month views?
Day View: Shows stocks trending in the last 24 hours - best for catching immediate momentum and news-driven movements
Week View: Displays trends over 7 days - ideal for identifying sustained momentum and filtering out daily noise
Month View: Presents 30-day trends - perfect for spotting longer-term shifts in sentiment and more established trends
What are Market Trends and how do they differ from Topic Trends?
Market Trends focus on overall market momentum based on price action and volume, showing stocks with the strongest technical movements. Topic Trends, on the other hand, identify stocks gaining social media buzz around specific themes. Market Trends help you find stocks already moving, while Topic Trends help you discover stocks that might move based on growing social interest.
How often is the data updated?
Our data is refreshed daily around 7:00 PM US Eastern Time. We run our comprehensive AI algorithms after the market closes to analyze the complete day's market data and social media activity. This ensures our recommendations are based on the most thorough analysis of all available information from the trading day. The updated data includes fresh Topic Trends, Market Trends, Portfolio Picks models, and Top Gainers/Losers, giving you actionable insights for the next trading day.
What is the Trend Explosion model?
The Trend Explosion model identifies small to mid-cap stocks experiencing explosive social media growth combined with positive price momentum. It looks for stocks with sudden spikes in social mentions, increasing search volume, and early technical breakouts. This model is designed for traders seeking higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities in emerging trends.
What is the Mega Dip model?
The Mega Dip model focuses on established large-cap stocks that have experienced significant price drops but show signs of social sentiment recovery. It identifies potential bounce-back opportunities in quality companies that may be oversold. This model suits investors looking for value plays in recognized companies with strong fundamentals.
How do the Portfolio Picks models work?
Our AI algorithms analyze multiple data streams including social media sentiment, search trends, news sentiment, price action, and volume patterns. Each model applies different criteria and weightings to identify stocks matching specific opportunity profiles. The models are backtested against historical data and continuously refined based on performance. Stocks are ranked by their combined scores and the top picks are presented daily.
Can I access Portfolio Picks without Premium?
No, Portfolio Picks models are exclusive to Premium subscribers. Free users can access Topic Trends, Market Trends, Top Gainers, and Top Losers. The Portfolio Picks represent our most sophisticated analysis and highest-conviction recommendations, which is why they're part of our Premium offering.
Can I export or download the data?
Premium subscribers can export data from all sections in CSV format for further analysis. Look for the download button on each page to export current results. Free users can view all data on the platform but cannot download it. Exported data includes all visible metrics and can be imported into Excel or other analysis tools.
What metrics should I pay attention to?
Key metrics to monitor include:
• Social Volume Change: Percentage increase in mentions (higher = more buzz)
• Sentiment Score: Positive vs negative sentiment ratio
• Price Change: Recent price movement percentage
• Volume Spike: Trading volume compared to average
• Momentum Score: Our proprietary rating combining multiple factors
Focus on stocks showing alignment across multiple metrics for stronger signals.
Should I buy every stock that appears in your recommendations?
No, our recommendations are starting points for your own research, not automatic buy signals. Always conduct additional due diligence including reviewing company fundamentals, checking news, and considering your risk tolerance. Diversify your investments and never invest more than you can afford to lose. Our tools identify opportunities, but the investment decision is always yours.
How long should I hold the recommended stocks?
Both our Portfolio Picks models are designed for shorter-term holds (days to weeks):
• Trend Explosion picks: Higher-risk momentum plays in small to mid-cap stocks experiencing explosive social growth
• Mega Dip picks: More conservative opportunities in established large-cap companies that have experienced significant drops
While both models target similar holding periods, Mega Dip is more conservative since it focuses exclusively on large, established companies with stronger fundamentals. Monitor social sentiment and price action for exit signals. Set stop-losses to protect against downside. Take profits gradually as stocks move in your favor.
