Spyder: scrape, analyse,
validate.

About

Spyder aims to find patterns, strategies, and insights from data to provide an edge in investing, answering the two questions that matter: what stocks to buy, and when to buy them. The process starts with collecting the latest, accurate, and up-to-date data, analysing it to form a strategy, then testing and validating that strategy in the Sandbox before repeating the cycle.

Spyder login screen
01 · Login

Django admin authentication, restricted to users with granted access.

02 · Fundamental Screener

A multi-factor scoring system scores companies against different criteria on the fly, weighing both latest and historical data with a decay rate. Selecting a financial year of a company will display the full income statement, cash flow, and balance sheet behind that score.

Spyder technical screen
03 · Technical Screener

Cached intrinsic value calculations based on the latest TTM figures using DCF analysis, with trend analysis using SMA and EMA. A chart displays five years of technical data by default for an overview.

04 · Sandbox

The screener can be wound back to any historical date to select stocks as they looked then and spin up a new backtest experiment. Saved experiments track CAGR, portfolio value, and realised and unrealised profit and loss, with day-by-day controls to step the simulation forward or back.

05 · Data Completeness

Tracks which of the 500+ companies have complete fundamental and technical data for each year, making gaps in the dataset easy to spot and backfill.

Spyder admin screen
06 · Admin

Django admin for managing companies, scoring configs, and the daily market data ingest jobs.
