Transparent methodology
What Ropollo measures, how it updates, and where it stops.
Ropollo describes changes in online attention. It does not predict returns, recommend trades, or determine whether a company is fundamentally valuable.
Processing cadence
Continuous, layered collection
Discovery
Every 3 minutes
Ropollo requests the top stock and crypto mentions for a rolling four-hour period across the investing communities it tracks. Crypto entries are removed and up to 40 stock candidates enter discovery.
Candidate analysis
Every 3 minutes
Up to 30 leading stock candidates receive daily mention history, price data, recent source mentions, context validation, scoring, and exchange-quality checks.
Context enrichment
Every 15 minutes
Candidate tickers are supplemented with news, SEC filings, company information, short positioning, borrow fees, failures to deliver, options-chain positioning, and exchange-volume history where available.
On-demand history
When requested
Ticker pages can request extended daily Reddit history and company enrichment when coverage is not already present.
Ticker validation
Evidence before inclusion
The validator examines each ticker occurrence rather than trusting capital letters alone. Signals include cashtags, casing, source placement, nearby finance language, option and price-target patterns, distinct authors, community spread, and known collision contexts. Clear failures are filtered; borderline cases can continue as review candidates.
This reduces false ticker matches. It does not guarantee that a surviving discussion is organic, accurate, independent, or free from promotion.

Sentiment conviction
Velocity and sentiment currently contribute by magnitude. Rapid cooling or strongly bearish discussion can therefore produce a high activity score. Marketing pages show the same activity verdicts as the app—Breakout, Emerging, Watching—which describe attention intensity, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
Limitations
The data has boundaries
- Coverage is limited to the communities and data available through the configured providers; Ropollo does not crawl all of Reddit.
- Mentions and sentiment can be delayed, incomplete, duplicated, manipulated, or incorrectly classified.
- A change in attention does not establish causation, future price direction, or investment merit.
- Market, filing, short, borrow, and options data can update on different schedules.
- Experimental baseline and author-concentration research is not marketed as a production prediction system.
Use the signal as a starting point—not an answer.
Track changing Reddit attention, inspect the source discussion, and add market context before drawing a conclusion.
