How to Use makeWplays

makeWplays gives you the data to make informed decisions around earnings events. Historical patterns, live sentiment, correlated assets — all in one place. Here is how to get the most out of it.

01

Find Upcoming Earnings

Browse the Events feed to see every upcoming earnings report. Filter by market (US/ASX), sector, or search for specific tickers. Each card shows the company, consensus EPS and revenue estimates, and reporting time.

TIP

Sort by "Biggest Beats" to see which completed events had the largest surprises.

02

Check Historical Patterns

Click any event to see the detail page. Historical beat rates show how often a company beats estimates. Price behavior stats show recent volatility, trend direction, and average daily moves over the past 30 days.

TIP

A company that beats 80% of the time with a median +3% move tells you something different than one that beats 50% with a +/-1% move.

03

Read Social Sentiment

Each event card shows a bullish/bearish sentiment bar from Stocktwits community posts. On the detail page, you get the full breakdown — trend direction, post counts, and the actual recent posts people are writing.

TIP

Watch for divergence: if sentiment is extremely bullish but the company historically misses, that is interesting data.

04

Study Correlated Assets

When a major company reports, it moves more than just its own stock. The Correlated Assets section shows sector ETFs, competitors, and supply chain relationships that historically react to the same event.

TIP

AAPL earnings do not just move AAPL — they move QCOM, TSM, the XLK ETF, and sometimes the entire Nasdaq.

05

Track Outcomes

After earnings, every event is scored: beat or miss, EPS surprise %, and actual price reaction. The Scorecards page shows all completed events. The Track Record page shows aggregate sector-level performance.

TIP

Over time, you build a dataset of how reliable certain patterns are. That is your edge.

06

Build Your Edge

Combine everything: a company with a high beat rate, bullish sentiment increasing, low recent volatility, and correlated assets you can cross-reference. The platform gives you the data — the pattern recognition is yours.

TIP

The best plays often come from information asymmetry — data most people are not looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tell me what to buy or sell?

No. makeWplays is strictly a data and research platform. It shows historical patterns, observed outcomes, and social sentiment. It never makes recommendations, suggests trades, or gives financial advice. Your decisions are your own.

Where does the data come from?

Earnings data comes from Finnhub (real-time). Price data from Finnhub quotes and Alpha Vantage. Social sentiment from Stocktwits. All data is live and refreshed regularly.

What does "beat rate" mean?

The percentage of times a company's actual EPS exceeded the consensus estimate. A 75% beat rate means the company beat analyst expectations 3 out of 4 times historically.

What does the sentiment bar show?

It shows the ratio of bullish to bearish posts from the Stocktwits community for that ticker. The trend indicator shows whether bullish sentiment is increasing or decreasing compared to earlier posts.

How is the prediction calculated?

The prediction probability is based on the company's historical beat rate and recent sentiment direction. It is a data-driven estimate — "historically, this ticker beats X% of the time and sentiment is trending Y." It is not a forecast or guarantee.

Can I use this for ASX stocks?

Yes. Toggle to "ASX" in the market filter. ASX tickers use the .AX suffix. Coverage depends on Finnhub's ASX data availability.

What are the recommended indicators?

Each stock detail page shows a recommended technical indicator based on the stock's actual price behavior. We analyze volatility, trend strength, and mean-reversion patterns to determine whether RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or Moving Averages are most reliable for that specific ticker. This is computed from data, not opinion.
