SentientMerchant

👋 Hey Product Hunters! Super excited to finally share what we’ve been brewing at SentientMerchant. ❤️ A few years ago, I was exactly where many of you are: staring at 15 open tabs of "breaking news," refreshing X (Twitter) every 30 seconds, and trying to figure out if a random headline meant I should hold, sell, or panic. Even with all the data available, I realized that more information doesn't mean better decisions. ### The Problem: We’re All "Doomscrolling" Our Portfolios The data for Q3 2024 showed the average investor holds about 11 different positions, while crypto owners are juggling multiple coins. It sounds manageable until you see the psychological cost: 89.7% of advisors struggle to invest because of "information overload." 66% of investors admit to compulsive "doomscrolling" of their performance. 61% report high anxiety triggered by the constant, 24/7 news cycle. Investing shouldn't feel like a second job that makes you miserable. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it clouds your judgment. The Solution: SentientMerchant — Your Financial "Noise Filter" We built SentientMerchant.com to turn hours of reading into seconds of clarity. We wanted to move away from the "feeling" of news and toward the fact of sentiment. Here’s how we’re changing the game: The Sentiment Score (0–100): No more guessing. We evaluate every piece of news and give you a single, objective number. The Emotional Buffer: Feeling too hyped or too depressed about a dip? We average out the sentiment scores to prevent "emotional trading" from ruining your gains. Trend Discovery: Uncover hidden patterns by tracking average sentiment across Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timelines. See the "vibe" shift before the price does. All-in-One Dashboard: Whether it's your favorite blue-chip stock or a new altcoin, see the sentiment for your entire watchlist in one place. 💰 Why we're here We want to help the next generation of investors trade with data, not dopamine. We’ve built this for the person who wants to stay informed without the anxiety. I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on the sentiment engine. We’re just getting started and your feedback is the "Alpha" that helps us improve! 🚀
