I did Sentiment Analysis on Reddit(Yes, that includes r/Stocks!)

(A repost/update from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/wrlxiy/i_did_sentiment_analysis_on_reddityes_that/)

Sentiment analysis is the quantifying of how positive, negative, or neutral a given text is. I've recently been applying this kind of analysis to various financial subreddits as a source of alternative data in an effort to create a trading algorithm. Finding if a strong correlation exists between sentiment and market movement is the first step. I thought it could be beneficial to everyone share the results here. I've organized the data in this website: https://sentimentlytics.herokuapp.com/

Any sort of discussion is welcome, but I'm specifically interested in these areas of discussion:

• Has anyone else applied sentiment analytics to reddit and tried to find correlation between that and the markets? Were your results similar?
• Is there a better open source model than VADER for this kind of text corpus?
• My background is in Data, so my UI skills are lacking. Let me know what I can improve.
• At the moment I've only included a bunch of the most common stocks/etfs I've seen. Additional recommendations for tickers that might be of interest would be appreciated.

Results TDLR: Long term(3 Months+), correlation between market and sentiment outputs are low. Short term there might be space to use specific search terms as markers for features.

I applied the Industry Discussion flair, but I'm not entirely certain if that's the appropriate one. Let me know if it isn't please.
