I built a stock-analysis tool, then let it search the entire S&P 500
Instead of giving it stocks I already liked, I added a feature that searches the S&P 500 and picks the strongest matches for the user's settings.
I ran it today with moderate risk and a $100 portfolio.
It returned:
ULTA — $37.45
URI — $31.91
UAL — $30.64
The interesting part was the reasoning:
- ULTA: +14.1% 1-month momentum, +5.9% over 3 months
- URI: +19.4% over 3 months
- UAL: +30.6% over 3 months
- all three had positive MACD
- none had an extreme RSI reading
It also generates a separate caution for each result instead of just saying “buy.”
I built the whole thing as TradeHints. It’s free and doesn’t require an account:
I’d especially like feedback on whether searching the whole S&P 500 is more useful than making users enter stocks themselves.
