Methodology

Every item on TradeTidings follows the same transparent pipeline. We believe disclosure of method is part of being a trustworthy source on financial topics.

1. Sourcing

We ingest headlines from reputable Pakistani business-news outlets via their public feeds. We never scrape exchange market-data portals or reproduce source articles; we cite the originating outlet and link to it.

2. Original analysis

For each relevant item, our system writes an original analysis article. The prose is our own; the source is credited, never copied.

3. Stock impact mapping

We map each story to affected listed companies and classify, per company: a direction (positive / neutral / negative), an influence level (low / medium / high), a longevity (short / long term), and a channel: direct (the news names the company) or indirect (the company is affected through a driver such as a commodity price, the exchange rate, the policy rate, fuel costs, or regulation). Indirect links come from a curated, versioned relationship graph maintained per market — not invented case by case.

4. Confidence threshold

Each analysis carries a confidence score. Items below our threshold are skipped and never published — we would rather show nothing than add noise.

5. Aggregation

Per-item impacts roll up into an influence-weighted net sentiment for each stock and sector over the time range you choose (today through 30 days). This is a count-and-direction measure of news exposure — it is explicitly not a price chart or forecast.

Limitations

Automated analysis can misclassify or miss context. Sentiment is not advice and not a prediction. Always verify with primary sources and a licensed professional.

TradeTidings publishes original news-sentiment analysis for informational purposes only. Nothing here is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security. Sentiment indicates how news may affect a company's exposure — it is not a price prediction. Markets are risky; do your own research and consult a licensed financial adviser. In Pakistan, investment advice is regulated by the SECP.
