How the scores work
An AI model reads each headline and scores it 0 to 10 for each market: 0 means it doesn’t matter for that index, 10 means it could move it sharply on its own, like a surprise Fed decision. A score says how much a story matters, not which way. More in how LemonTrades reads the news.
LemonTrades reads about 20 news sources and tells you what moved stocks, and why, as it happens: breaking news scored for the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow, a warning before CPI, jobs and Fed decisions, and ⚡ alerts on sharp index moves with the likely cause.
