It seems that HN users are some of the smartest people on the internet(besides maybe researchgate, but it's not really casual discussion...)<p>It also seems that a lot of people here tends to detect patterns before everyone, a lot of users also have insider knowledge about big tech<p>So it might seem like a decent place to analyze for stock prediction right? I remember reading about a trader here who said that he was reading HN before the markets open to have an edge when investing on tech stocks<p>Do you know anyone who tried to do it using software?
There is a book titled ‘trading on sentiment’ by someone who had some success at using sentiment analysis in trading. A lot of people have tried it, I never got to the point of having anything worth backtesting.
