See the market story. Find who actually benefits.

Screeners start with filters and tickers. Thematic investors need to understand the market story first.

A screener can tell you what moved and what's cheap on a multiple. It can't tell you which structural story is driving demand, where the real bottleneck in that story sits, or whether the company you're looking at actually owns a scarce capability inside it. By the time a theme is obvious in a screen, the reasoning that mattered happened earlier.

Trading Compass inverts the order: narrative first, companies second, and scanner output as a confirmation layer — never the intelligence layer.

From story to stock, in order.

1. Narrative — The system identifies and tracks the structural stories currently shaping the market — each with the reasoning for why it matters now, not just a theme label.
2. Ecosystem — Every narrative is broken into its chapters: the specific bottlenecks, constraints, and scarce capabilities inside the story where value tends to concentrate.
3. Companies — Public companies are mapped to the bottlenecks they genuinely serve or own, each with a stated role. A company that doesn't fit any story is honestly labeled that way — nothing is forced into a theme.
4. Confirmation — Price action and valuation are checked against the thesis. Is the market actually showing interest? Does the price already assume the story plays out? Confirmation, not prediction.
5. Research — Company-level research ties it together — business engine, narrative position, risks, and evidence — so you can interrogate the reasoning and form your own view.

Real surfaces. Real data. No sign-up to browse.

• Market Overview — Daily market posture across index structure, breadth, and leadership — plus the day's narrative and radar highlights in one place.
• Narratives — The library of market stories the system is actively researching — each with its ecosystem of bottlenecks and the companies positioned at them.
• Opportunity Radar — The scanning surface: tickers with favorable price structure and narrative fit, labeled by how much attention they deserve — discovery labels, never buy/sell signals.
• Ticker Research — Per-company research pages: what the business does, its narrative position, price-action state, and valuation context — with the evidence behind each axis.
• Research Hub (Pro) — Emerging, earlier-stage narrative research — speculative ideas labeled by confidence, evidence, and what would confirm or invalidate them.

Not another stock screener.

• Reasoning before ranking — Claims trace to mechanisms — a bottleneck, a role, a price-action state, a confidence cap — never to a black-box score.
• Narratives before isolated tickers — The starting point is the market story and its structure, not a list of symbols that passed a filter.
• Bottlenecks and scarce capabilities — Inside every real story, value concentrates where capacity is constrained. Trading Compass maps who owns those constraints.
• Price action as confirmation, not prediction — Market behavior is used to test whether the thesis is being confirmed or contradicted — expressed as defined structural states, never entry signals.
• Transparent confidence and limitations — Confidence is capped when assumptions are unproven, and "no reliable stance available" is a real answer — shown instead of a guess.

AI does the research. Deterministic checks keep it honest.

AI performs the structured research — narrative discovery, company mapping, synthesis and explanation. Deterministic systems validate what can be validated exactly: tickers, market data, access rules. Evidence and confidence are surfaced across research outputs, so you can see how strongly a conclusion is supported — and research can be incomplete or wrong, which the product says out loud rather than hiding.

You form your own conclusions. Trading Compass gives you the structured reasoning to do it with.

Who it's for

• Thematic investors and swing/position traders — Holding days to months. You need the story, the market structure, and the price action to agree before committing size.
• Narrative-first researchers — You start with "why is this company positioned well right now?" — then look for timing confirmation. That's the workflow.
• Fundamentals investors who want confirmation — You believe in the company. Trading Compass shows whether price action and market structure are confirming what you believe.

Who it's not for

• Day traders — Trading Compass is built for multi-day to multi-week horizons. Intraday signals are not part of this workflow.
• Anyone looking for stock picks — There are no buy/sell calls, no price targets, and no promised returns here — by design, not by omission.
• Passive index investors — This is an active research tool for single names. A buy-and-hold index portfolio doesn't need it.

Frequently asked questions

What is Trading Compass?

Trading Compass is a market narrative intelligence platform. It researches the stories currently driving the market, breaks each one into investable themes, maps the public companies genuinely exposed, and checks whether current heat, price action and valuation confirm the opportunity — so you can research with structure instead of scanning tickers.

Is Trading Compass a stock screener?

No. Screeners start from thousands of tickers and filters. Trading Compass starts from what is changing in the market — the narrative — and works down to companies. Scanner-style confirmation (price action, valuation) is the last step, never the starting point.

Does it tell me what to buy or sell?

No. There are no buy/sell instructions, no price targets, and no return promises. Trading Compass is a research and workflow tool: it structures the reasoning and the evidence, and you form your own conclusions.

What are Narrative Heat and Theme Heat?

Narrative Heat measures how actively a broad market story is attracting capital and attention right now. Theme Heat measures the same thing for a specific theme inside that story — a hot narrative can contain a cooling theme. Both are assessed separately from Company Narrative Fit, which measures how directly a company belongs to the story.

Do I need an account to use it?

No. The core surfaces — market overview, narratives, radar previews and company research summaries — are open to browse with real, current data. Pro adds full candidate pools, complete narrative ecosystems, and the deeper evidence layers.

Where does the research come from?

AI performs the structured research — narrative discovery, company mapping, synthesis — and deterministic systems validate what can be validated exactly. Evidence and confidence are surfaced across research outputs, and when something is uncertain or unavailable the product says so rather than forcing a score.

Trading Compass is a research and workflow tool. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice. All analysis is for informational and educational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your own trading and investment decisions.
