TipRanks is a financial accountability engine that uses machine learning and natural language processing algorithms to measure the performance of sources giving online investment advice for shares listed on the US markets.
TipRanks allows users to see the track record and performance of source stock analysts, bloggers, hedge funds, or corporate insiders dating back to January, 2009 and uses factors such as the Tipranks Star Ranking calculation which combines both the Success Rate and Average Return for each financial expert.
Some of the key features of the TipRanks integration are:
1. Review US stocks that have been rated by 3 or more analysts in the last few days

2. Review US stocks that have been rated by a TipRanks reported analyst in the last few days. This list can be filtered by such things as ‘Buy only’ or ‘Market cap between 1-2billion’

3. For a specific stock, such as Alphabet (Google), TipRanks provides:
a. An aggregated view or consensus of analysts, including target price consensus

b. A list of insider transactions

c. Hedge fund activity for the last quarter

d. Blogger and social sentiment
