Tracking Chinese-language stock influencers

Yes, there is a site that tracks how Chinese-language finance influencers' US stock calls turn out: Opinion Alpha covers Chinese-language and English-language influencers side by side. Every stock opinion is extracted from the influencer's own video or post, kept as a quote in the language it was said in, linked to its source, and scored against what the stock did afterwards. Browsing is free.

Most trackers of this kind follow English-language creators only. Chinese-language influencers talk about the same US stocks to a large audience, often with different views and different timing, and until now there was no easy way to look up what they said or how it played out.

What you can look up

  • A ranking of Chinese-language influencers. Set the influencer language to Chinese on the leaderboard to rank them by the simulated return of following their calls, with win rate and Sharpe ratio beside it.
  • One influencer's full record. Each page on the influencers list shows every stock they have called, the quote and the source, their win rate, and their simulated return compared with the S&P 500.
  • Both sides on one stock. A stock page shows the English- and Chinese-language influencers who are bullish or bearish on it together, on the same price chart, so you can see where the two audiences are being told different things.

How the scoring works

The rules are the same for every influencer whatever their language: an opinion becomes a simulated position on the next US trading day and is held for about three months, and the result is compared with SPY. The methodology page explains the details and the limits.

Reading it in English or Chinese

The whole site is available in both languages. Quotes stay in the language the influencer used, so a Chinese quote is shown in Chinese on the English site as well, next to the ticker, direction and date.

Results are simulations of following public opinions, not anyone's real account, and not investment advice.
