DeepTicker Guide
Learn to use DeepTicker and analyse stocks with sharper judgement
The DeepTicker guide brings together everything you need to understand the platform step by step: how to read the market, how to use the Stock Screener, how to interpret a company profile, how to measure your portfolio, how to follow the news that matters and how to practise in the Official Competition.
You will also find core investing concepts explained clearly: fundamentals, valuation, P/E, ROIC, moat, drawdown, Sharpe, ETFs and the DeepTicker Score.
This is not loose theory. Every concept is tied to real DeepTicker tools so you can move from the explanation to practice: open a profile, compare companies, review the market, measure your portfolio or test ideas in the competition without risking real money.
Where to start
DeepTicker is built to help you invest with sharper judgement, not to tell you what to buy.
To get started, the most useful path is to follow this order:
- Open the Market Dashboard to understand what is happening today.
- Use the Stock Screener to find and analyse companies.
- Open a company profile and review its fundamentals, valuation and DeepTicker Score.
- Save companies to your watchlist to keep an eye on them calmly.
- Use My Portfolioto measure your real performance against the S&P 500.
- Practise in the Official Competition with $50,000 in virtual cash and real prices.
- Check the glossary whenever a metric is not clear to you.
As you go, you will come across terms like P/E, ROIC, DCF, moat, TWR or drawdown. They are all explained in the DeepTicker Score page and across the platform, with simple examples connected to the tools you actually use.

1 · Market
The Market Dashboard is the first screen of the day. It brings together indices, sectors, ETFs, commodities, crypto, Spain, Europe, Canada, the UK, Australia and other global markets in a single view.
It is there to answer one question fast: what is happening today and what could affect your decisions.
Market pulse
At the top you will see key indicators such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow, IBEX 35, Euro Stoxx, VIX, the US 10-year Treasury, EUR/USD, gold, oil, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Each card includes a short explanation so you understand what it means and why it might matter.
DeepTicker market reads
Throughout the session, DeepTicker publishes structured market reads: the European open, the Wall Street open, mid-session, the European close and the US close.
These reads summarise what is moving, which sectors are leading, what the market regime looks like and which signals are worth watching.
Breadth and regime
DeepTicker summarises whether the market is in risk-on, cautious or risk-off mode.
To work it out, it combines indicators such as the VIX, advancing versus declining stocks, the percentage of the S&P 500 above its 50- and 200-day moving averages and sector leadership.
Trending on DeepTicker
Shows the stocks most viewed by the community over the last few days. It is a quick way to see which companies are drawing the most interest inside the platform.
Tap any ticker to open its profile.
Maps: S&P 500, sectors and ETFs
The dashboard includes heatmaps so you can see at a glance where the money is moving: the full S&P 500, sectors and thematic ETFs.
You can spot rotations into technology, healthcare, energy, gold, bonds, specific countries or investing styles.
Gainers, losers and the day's news
DeepTicker shows the biggest gainers and losers during the session, along with related news when it is available.
It helps you understand sharp moves without jumping between several websites.
Spain, Europe and global markets
The Market Dashboard integrates the IBEX 35, the main Spanish stocks, pan-European leaders and key markets such as the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia and other global markets.
They are not an afterthought: they are part of the same market read.
Events calendar
Quarterly earnings, relevant events and upcoming IPOs, organised so you can anticipate moments of potential volatility.
2 · Screener
The Stock Screener is there to find listed companies and analyse them with context.
You can search by ticker, by name or use the screener to filter companies by fundamentals, valuation, quality, solvency, profitability, growth, momentum and DeepTicker's own metrics.
Search by ticker
Type the stock symbol, for example AAPL, NVDA or MSFT, and open its profile directly.
Search by name
If you do not remember the ticker, type the company name. DeepTicker will show candidates with ticker, market and currency so you can pick the right one.
Screener with 140+ filters
The screener lets you combine fundamental, technical and DeepTicker-specific filters.
You can filter by sector, country, market cap, P/E, EV/EBITDA, ROIC, debt, margins, growth, the DeepTicker Score and many other metrics.
Full profile
Each result can open its full profile: price, chart, fundamentals, DeepTicker Score, valuation, risks, peers, news, dividends, insiders and events.
Global coverage
The Screener covers thousands of stocks from the markets available in DeepTicker, including the United States, Spain, Europe, Canada, the UK, Australia, China and other global markets.
3 · My Portfolio
My Portfolio lets you record your real trades manually and measure your progress with more useful metrics than a broker usually shows.
You do not have to connect your account or share passwords. You record buys, sells, deposits, withdrawals and fees. DeepTicker works out the rest.
Capital and movements
Before recording trades, add a first deposit. From there, DeepTicker calculates available cash, invested capital, total value, fees and returns.
Adding trades
Tap “Add trade” and enter the ticker, type of movement, number of shares, price, date and fee.
Every trade is saved in your history.
Currency converter
If you trade stocks in different currencies, you can use the built-in converter to record your movements consistently.
Key metrics
My Portfolio shows data such as: economic gain · TWR · return versus an equivalent S&P 500 investment · Sharpe · maximum historical drawdown · current drawdown · the S&P 500 MaxDD over your period · win/loss ratio.
Your portfolio vs the S&P 500
DeepTicker compares your portfolio against an equivalent investment in the S&P 500 using your same deposits and withdrawals.
That way you can know whether you are really beating the market or only appear to be.
Year-by-year results
You can review each year separately: return, comparison against the S&P 500, best trade, worst trade, fees, deposits, withdrawals and number of trades.
Open positions
A table of your current positions: ticker, shares, average price, current price, P&L and weight in the portfolio.
Trade history
All your buys and sells are ordered by date. If you make a mistake, you can correct it using the available options.
Watchlist
You can also save companies to your watchlist without buying them. It is useful to track ideas, check what would have happened and train your judgement before putting in real money.
4 · News
The News section organises headlines and summaries around what you actually follow inside DeepTicker.
It is not a generic feed of the whole market. DeepTicker groups news by portfolio, watchlist, competition and free search.
My Portfolio
News related to the companies you have recorded in My Portfolio.
Watchlist
News for the tickers on your watchlist. Useful for keeping an eye on companies you have not bought yet.
Competition
News for the stocks and ETFs that are part of your virtual portfolio in the Official Competition.
Free search
Type a ticker or company name to look up recent news related to that company.
From the headline to the profile
From any piece of news you can open the company profile to review data, valuation, the DeepTicker Score, fundamentals and context.
5 · Competition
DeepTicker's Official Competition is free forever and requires no card.
You get $50,000 in virtual cash to practise with real market prices, compete against other users and measure your decisions without risking real money.
How to join
Go to the Competition section and join the active edition. There are no deposits and no broker: just a virtual portfolio with the same rules for everyone.
A $50,000 virtual portfolio
Every participant starts with the same amount of virtual capital. You can trade the stocks and ETFs available within the competition universe.
Each trade is recorded with date, ticker, quantity and fee.
Minimum activity for prizes
To be eligible for prizes, each participant must make at least 1 valid trade per month.
A valid trade is a buy or sell executed for a minimum amount of $1,000.
Concentration limit
You cannot make a buy that would leave more than 50% of your portfolio's total value invested in a single ticker.
The limit is checked when you buy.
If a position rises above 50% because it went up after you bought it, you are not forced to sell. But you will not be able to buy more of that ticker while it stays above the limit.
Prize status
DeepTicker always shows whether you are eligible for prizes or not. Possible states:
- ✅ Eligible for prizes — You meet the requirements of the active edition.
- ⚠️ Action required — You are missing a monthly trade, you have an over-concentrated position or you need to complete some requirement.
- ⛔ Not eligible for prizes — You can keep playing and appear in the ranking, but you will not be able to receive prizes in that edition until you meet the rules.
A single ranking
Everyone appears in the same Official Competition ranking.
Users who are not eligible for prizes may appear dimmed and with a clear label. If a non-eligible user finishes in a prize position, the prize passes to the next eligible participant.
Header with your status
The top of the competition shows your return, ranking position, days remaining and prize status.
My competition portfolio
Your open positions, available cash, total value, P&L and weight per asset. From there you can add trades or schedule orders when they are available.
Trades
Trades are recorded at a price validated by the system, not at a price typed in manually by the user. This prevents cheating and discrepancies.
Advanced metrics
The competition shows metrics such as drawdown, historical MaxDD, concentration, best trade, worst trade, win rate, number of trades and fees paid.
Chart vs the S&P 500
You can compare your virtual portfolio against the S&P 500 over the period in which you take part.
Market information
Inside the competition you can check market data, maps, sectors, gainers, losers and relevant tickers to help you make decisions.
Competition chronicle
The 🤖 DeepTicker AI narrates the competition with daily chronicles: leaders, comebacks, standout portfolios and notable moves.
This is where it makes sense to talk about the DeepTicker AI, because it is part of the Official Competition experience.
Ranking with full data
A table with position, user, portfolio value, return, the highest-weight ticker, trades made, assets and prize status.
View other participants' portfolios
You can open other participants' public portfolios within the tournament to observe different styles and learn from their decisions.
Prizes
Each edition may include prizes for the best participants and rewards for beating the 🤖 DeepTicker AI.
Always check the full rules and the terms of the active edition to see dates, prizes, conditions and requirements.
Private Leagues
Beyond the Official Competition, you can create Private Leagues with friends, communities, classes or investing groups.
Each participant starts with $50,000 in virtual cash and competes in their own ranking. Private Leagues are for practising and comparing styles, but they do not change your Alpha DeepTicker from the Official Competition.

7 · Suggestions
The Suggestions section is a direct line to the DeepTicker team.
Use it to send ideas, report bugs, request improvements or explain something that is not clear.
How to send a suggestion
Write a clear subject and describe what happens, where it happens and what you expected to see. The more specific you are, the easier it is to review the case.
Which suggestions help most
Specific suggestions work best: “I want to see dividend yield on the company profile” is actionable. “Improve the app” is too general.
What to do if you find a bug
Tell us the screen, the device, the browser and the steps you followed. If you can attach a screenshot, even better.
Who reviews it
The DeepTicker team reads suggestions and uses them to prioritise improvements, fix bugs and spot confusing points on the platform.
8 · Company profile
The company profile appears when you open a ticker from the Screener, Market, My Portfolio, News or Competition. It is the centre of the analysis for every stock.

Fundamentals
Metrics on revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, debt, solvency and growth.
Valuation
Multiples such as P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/Sales, P/FCF, EV/FCF and other metrics to understand whether the price looks demanding, reasonable or potentially at a discount.

9 · Metrics glossary

52-week range, distance from highs, beta, yearly change and recent behaviour.

A bank, a REIT, a biotech, a utility and a tech company should not be read by the same rules.
