The excitement continues to grow at FirstRain. This morning Fidelity has announced that it has selected FirstRain integrated into its new Stock Research Center on Fidelity.com which they launched last week and are announcing today.

You can see FirstRain’s spike and volume detection technology at work for yourself if you go here – look for the section shown below on the right hand side and you can navigate your way through new ideas being generated as a result of FirstRain’s search and analytics capabilities.

FirstRain’s research engine is continuously identifying and highlighting trending economic and industry content from the web and then identifying the companies being impacted by these trends. So then, once a user gets interested in an idea, the UI takes him/her straight to the Fidelity fundamental research about the company to help them decide whether to trade on the idea.

The smarts FirstRain is putting to work here are the research engine’s ability to detect spike and directionality in any one of the thousands of business topics they have built into FirstRain. The topics are all associated with industries so FirstRain can quickly pick out what’s hot in any one area like Technology or Energy for Fidelity users. FirstRain is continuously processing millions of documents and storing the derived patterns and so can distinguish quickly when a spike is occurring in contrast to the normal levels of content about any particular topic.

If you want to try the FirstRain research engine yourself you can request a trial here and enter AltSearchEngines as the referral code.
