Social Market Analytics (SMA) the leader in predictive social media data feeds has added the ‘Crypto Fast’ to its suite of API data feeds. SMA’s S-Factor and Activity Cryptocurrency data feeds have been in production since December 2017. “Clients asked for a bespoke feed for a shorter baseline with 1-Hour price projections. Although clients can create their own baselines and metrics with our Activity Feed, clients wanted SMA to do the development work and produce and support the product which has been named ‘Crypto Fast’.”
The SMA Crypto Fast Feed provides faster moving signals than the SMA S-Factor feed. The S-Factor Feed is a 24H lookback with a 20 baseline with decay which supports intraday out to 2-3 trading days. SMA’s Activity Feed is in isolation of what happened in each minute, which can be narrow to HFT or customized to any period including W, M, Q.
Like the calculation of SMA’s S-Score, the ‘Crypto Fast’ is a normalized sentiment score with a shorter 1H lookback period with a 12H baseline to better take into account the high volatility in the cryptocurrency market. For each crypto asset, SMA makes a 1-hour price projections based on its Crypto Fast and price momentum. SMA provides a projected return, as well as a projected range on the return with a 95% confidence interval. The accuracy field reflect how often the subsequent return has fallen within the projected return range historically.

Most of my blogs center around the predictive nature of Social Market Analytics data. This blog is different.  At Social Market Analytics we are continuously expanding and improving our technology.  These innovations sometime lead to such unique technology that a patent application is warranted.  As many of you know this is a lengthy and challenging process.  We are proud to announce SMA recently received our second patent as an extension of our original patent.  SMA now has two granted U.S. Patents.

Patent

Our first Patent was on our three-component system for extraction, evaluation and publication of metrics on social media feeds. The high-level diagram with Twitter as an input is below.

process

Each process above uses SMA created technology.  Extractor allows for the rapid ingestion of data.  Evaluator filters noise on both the author and content level and Calculator creates custom predictive metrics for multiple time frames and purposes.  As our processes evolve we apply for patents to protect this unique technology.  Our second granted U.S. Patent revolves around publication of metrics and alerting customers to breaking information available through our Twitter metrics and other sources. Although, we are exciting about our 2nd U.S. Patents, we already have our 3rd patent application in preparation!
