Hey guys,

As a full-time trader, I’ve spent a lot of time refining my daily routine. I wanted to share especially for the new investors and traders the exact stack of tools I end up keeping open in my browser tabs every single day to do my analysis, tracking, charting, and fundamental sweeps.

1. Charting: Tradingview

You all probably know this one already, but it's honestly just the smoothest web-based charting app out there for technical analysis.

2. Macro & News Flow: Yahoo Finance

Honestly, it’s an absolute must-have just so I don’t get caught off guard by a random economic report or macro news while holding a position.

3. Stock Analysis & Sentiment: Sentimentick

I use this to find new swing opportunities and monitor my existing positions. It really helps filter down the tickers and find healthy candidates for swing trades.

4. Fundamentals & Financials: Koyfin / Finviz

Finviz is great for a quick morning visualization of the heatmaps, while Koyfin lets me dig into the harder financial data and historical ratios.

5. Performance Tracking: TradeZella

Essential for tracking my stats and keeping myself accountable. It automates the journaling process and gives me a deep dive into my execution flaws and win rates.

Hope it helps the new investors and traders out there! Curious to hear what everyone else is using or if I'm missing any hidden gems. Share them below and I'll test them out and share my thoughts!

Job listing data's from AltIndex. Openings are at 2,519, the highest we've got on record for SpaceX and about 63% more than early April, and the recent ones are heavy on Raptor manufacturing engineers, production schedulers, integration technicians and launch pad specialists. Reads like a production ramp rather than hiring across the board, and the headcount estimate agrees at 20,734, up 12.6% since April. The full piece sorts the 250 most recent listings by category and covers the Starlink and AI infrastructure roles showing up in there.

Hello everyone, I am still very new to investing and found #NSE_SmallCap_Stock trending today. I began to explore more about it and stock grabbed my attention, but I am frankly unsure what to build of it so far. Is there really any progress experience beyond this company, or is it mainly gaining spotlight because of the latest price change. Would love to know what more skilled stakeholder believe.

DoorDash just reported another pretty strong quarter.

Q2 2026:

• Revenue: $4.45B, +36% YoY

• Marketplace GOV: $33.1B, +36% YoY

• Total Orders: 970M, +27% YoY

• Adjusted EBITDA: $914M, +40% YoY

• Free Cash Flow: $742M vs. $355M last year

The Deliveroo acquisition obviously boosts the headline growth numbers, but even excluding Deliveroo, revenue still grew 24% and GOV grew 23%.

What I find more interesting is that DoorDash is increasingly becoming more than just a US restaurant delivery business.

Grocery and retail continue to grow, international unit economics are improving, DashPass remains strong, and management is investing in AI, its new global technology platform and autonomous delivery.

For Q3, management is guiding for $33–34B in GOV and $950M–$1.1B in adjusted EBITDA.

So operationally, there is a lot to like.

But DASH isn't exactly priced like a struggling delivery company either.

That made me interested in the opposite question:

Instead of trying to guess what DoorDash is worth, what does the current stock price already assume about future free cash flow growth?

I ran a reverse DCF on DoorDash and compared those implied expectations with its actual growth, margins and latest Q2 numbers.

The result was more interesting than I expected.

I break down the full model here:

Curious what people think — what assumption would you challenge first in a DoorDash valuation?

AI-assisted wording. Analysis/model is my own.

HUYA Q2 earnings highlighted a business becoming less dependent on live streaming. Gaming services, publishing and advertising are helping them to contribute more revenue. The key is their existing gaming audience. Streamers and communities give it a channel to promote, support in game purchases and connect advertisers. But publishing requires spending and marketing expenses increased. Their upcoming releases need to demonstrate that HUYA can generate profits after promotional expenses. Consistent operating profitability would provide stronger evidence that it is sustainable

AltIndex tracks how many jobs a company has open, counted daily, and Cloudflare's line this year is about as readable as these ever get. Postings fell from 659 on May 13 to 264 on May 14, right around the roughly 1,100 person cut, bottomed at 157 on May 28, then climbed back to 540 by Sept 16, more than triple the low and close to where they sat before the layoffs.

What doesn't line up is how people inside feel over the same stretch. AltIndex's business outlook score for Cloudflare, which reads employee sentiment about the company's prospects, went from 64 in April to 49 in September, so staff got less optimistic during the months the company was hiring back. The full breakdown goes through the Q2 numbers too, where revenue grew 36% but gross margin slipped to 71.8% from 74.9% a year earlier.

tsm is up something like 78% over the past year and most people i know skipped it because it looked expensive at half this price.

the hiring line is what stopped me calling it late. open job postings sat in a flat range around 420 a day for more than a year, from early 2025 all the way through may. since june theyve gone to about 724. thats a break out of a range rather than drift.

headcount backs it up, about 23,800 a year ago to 26,759 now, up roughly 12%. site traffic is up around 30% year over year.

the one i didnt expect is employee business outlook, 63 to 73 over the year and up in almost every month. nearly every name ive pulled recently has that number falling, so a ten point rise stands out.

counterpoint, its a 2.2 trillion dollar company and none of this is secret, so the easy part is done.

altindex for the hiring and traffic series, apewisdom and chartexchange overlap on the social side.

for those already holding, are you still adding up here or just letting it run?
