How Oyticker reads the news
Oyticker turns market news into structured information, so you know which stories to look at first and which instruments they concern. It saves research time. It does not predict prices, and nothing on Oyticker is investment advice.
Where stories come from
Public feeds of companies, regulators, central banks, statistics offices and news wires. Every story keeps its original sources: its public page links them.
Several reports of one event become one story, and the number of reports is kept. The same headline published again within 48 hours is always the same story, with one sentiment.
What is left out
- Routine announcements: conferences, awards, sponsorships, routine appointments.
- Law firms' calls to join a class action and their reminders: they repeat the same filing for weeks and say nothing new about the company.
- Copies of a story already published.
Impact, from 0 to 100
How much the information is likely to matter to the market: its significance, not its direction and not the size of a move.
Sentiment
Positive, Neutral or Negative: the direction the information points for the instruments it names, on its face. It is not a recommendation. A good headline can still disappoint what the market expected, and a large contract can come with heavy spending or new shares.
That is why each analysis now ends with What weighs against: the costs, the dilution, the risks and whatever could offset the headline.
Confidence
How firmly the source supports the reading: clear facts, a direct link to the instruments. A confidence of 82% means the story is well sourced and its reading is solid. It is never a probability that a price moves.

Instruments
A story is linked to an instrument only when it names the company. When a release states its own listing, for example "(NASDAQ: WORX)", that listing is used. When the link is not certain, there is none: no instrument is better than a wrong one.
Stories about the economy, a central bank or a region may have no company at all.

The market's reaction
After a story is published, Oyticker measures how its instruments moved over the next minutes, when market data allows it. That reaction is shown on the story: it is what happened, not a forecast of what will happen.
When stories are public
Members read each story as soon as it is published. Without an account, a story becomes public later, the strongest last:
- Impact 0 to 39
- 1 hour after
- Impact 40 to 69
- 2 hours after
- Impact 70 to 79
- 4 hours after
- Impact 80 and above
- 8 hours after
Limits
- The analysis is written with the help of an AI model from the sources. It can be incomplete or wrong: check the original sources before any decision.
- Scores describe information. Past reactions do not predict future ones.
- Oyticker provides market information and analysis for educational purposes. It is not investment advice: you remain responsible for your own decisions.
