How to Use HillSignal
A beginner-friendly guide to tracking Washington's money trail, copying committee overseers, and finding high-conviction market catalysts.
1The Core Idea: Flowing with Capital
Normally, when people buy stocks, they look at corporate earnings or technical patterns. But there is a massive force that drives stock prices even more: government policy decisions.
Every single day, the U.S. government makes decisions that shape winners and losers in public markets:
- ✦Bills & Laws: Congress votes on rules that direct billions in capital to sectors (like green energy, infrastructure, or aerospace).
- ✦Federal Procurement: Government agencies award large contracts directly to public parent companies.
- ✦Political Disclosures: Members of Congress buy and sell stocks, often with information asymmetry gained from committee seats.
2The Public Dashboard Feed (Getting Started)
A. The Signals Feed
A clean, live feed mapping bills, contracts, and executive orders directly to public tickers. Every entry features a 15-word "So What?" take, allowing you to instantly assess bottom-line market implications.
B. Congressional Ledgers
Lists all PTR stock trades filed by politicians. We assign a proprietary T.A.C.T. Score (1–10) measuring trade suspicion. A score of 7+ flags trades occurring suspiciously close to committee hearings or bill sponsorships.
C. GICS Sector Cards & Indexes
Under the Sectors tab, you can view the momentum, signal counts, and performance metrics of our 14 custom GICS Sector Indexes. Toggle through different time horizons (30d, 60d, 90d, 120d, 180d) to review active relative alpha trends.
3The Pro Terminal Workstation
Premium users unlock the Pro Terminal: an integrated, multi-pane financial workstation built for active policy research.
Signal Explorer (Left Panel)
A fast navigation tree allowing you to browse sector metrics, watchlists, PAC campaign contributions, and NAICS capital funding flows.
Interactive Charts (Center Panel)
Includes robust TradingView price tracking charts, structural stock heatmaps, and a daily Technical Sentiment Gauge.
Three Intel Panels (Center-Bottom)
A structured console displaying correlated background data: detailed Congressional filings, SEC Form 4 Corporate Insider records, and verified procurement contracts.
Signal Profile (Right Panel)
Maps out the specific causal mechanism of the policy, shows connected signal networks, and features an Uplink button to run deeper AI-generated intelligence reports.
4The Intel Widget: Your Personal AI Analyst
The easiest way to assemble information is through the Intel Widget. Located inside your chat workspaces, it operates like a standard message box.
Use Thinking Mode: For complex questions involving multiple databases, switch the lane to Thinking. This runs DeepSeek R1 to deeply cross-reference and verify information.
Query Specific Tickers: Type requests like "Are there any bipartisan trades in $NVDA?" or "What is the C-Score breakdown for defense primes?"
Access the Platform Glossary: Confused by complex terms? Ask "Explain capital surge" or "What is a genesis arc?" to immediately pull definitions and live examples.
5Compiling Research into Dossiers & Reports
HillSignal lets you compile complex legislative trails into a single document before trading:
- While using the Intel widget, look for the checkbox next to any high-value message, chart, or list.
- Check the box for each piece of evidence you want to compile.
- Click Compile Report / Save to Briefcase.
- Open your briefcase to view, edit, or export the resulting research PDF or Dossier.
