How Farlens works
Every market day ends with an explanation written to fit the number. Farlens does the opposite: twelve separate measurements are read on each name you follow, and the reading reports which factor is most consistent with the move — with the case for and the case against, and the arithmetic published.
1. Pick the names you follow
Search about 42,000 listed names — stocks and crypto, across the US, the Gulf and 27 additional markets — and follow the ones you are tracking. There are no minimums and nothing to import. At launch, newly followed names are targeted for measurement within about fifteen minutes and inclusion in the nightly run. Data coverage differs from service availability: the paid service is not yet available and is intended at launch only for adults aged 18 or over in the United States and GCC states.
2. Twelve measurements, read every night
Each name is measured twelve ways: price trend, money flow, on-balance volume, momentum, sector rotation, advance/decline pressure, short volume, volume surge, market chatter, crypto derivatives positioning, distance from the 200-week average, and geopolitical exposure. They combine into a single reading between −100 and +100.
Every weight is published — including the ones that undercut our own reputation. Price trend carries the most at 12.9%. The geopolitical overlay, Farlens's signature measurement, is 6.9%: the most distinctive of the twelve, and never the whole score. Crypto-specific measurements are 19% between them, which is why crypto has been first-class since day one. The full table is on the signal stack.
Not every measurement applies to every instrument — short volume is US-only, some are crypto-only — so coverage varies by name, and the reading says which ones were used rather than quietly averaging the rest.
3. See which factor contributed — and both sides
The reading breaks down into its parts, so you can see which measurement is most consistent with the day rather than being handed a number. Alongside it sits the financial picture of the company itself — cash generation, debt load, margins, valuation, growth — as context, never as an input: nothing on that panel feeds the reading, and missing data is shown as missing rather than as a zero.
And every read arrives as an argument rather than an answer: the bull case and the bear case, side by side. A single event can support one line of analysis while challenging another, and a tool that shows you only one side is doing your thinking for you. Farlens deliberately doesn't.
What's open and what requires an account
Explanation, methodology, and history are public — the event guides, the twelve published weights, the full description of how the composite is built, and the first lesson of the Twelve Measurements course. Live daily readings and related account features are planned for eligible account holders at launch; they are not currently available, and no payment is taken pre-launch.
Frequently asked
What does Farlens actually do?
It reads twelve separate measurements on each stock or crypto asset you follow and reports which factor is most consistent with the day's move. Every weight is published. It is an informational analytical tool for self-directed investors, not a research report, trading signal or investment advice.
Does Farlens tell me what to buy or sell?
No. Never. Every read presents both sides, and every decision remains yours.
Is Farlens a geopolitics product?
No. Geopolitical exposure is one of twelve measurements and carries 6.9% of the reading. It is the most distinctive thing Farlens measures, and it has never been the whole score — which is why every weight is published.
Does it cover crypto?
Yes, from the start. Two of the twelve measurements exist specifically for digital assets and carry 19% of the composite between them.
Where does the data come from?
Farlens is designed to combine public data and third-party data licensed where applicable with its own scoring, exposure mapping, and historical analysis. Features that depend on unresolved third-party rights remain planned and will not be activated until those rights are verified.
Is the methodology public?
Yes — see the methodology page, including the WEAK walk-forward grade and the limitations of the test.
Do I need to connect a brokerage account?
No. Farlens never takes brokerage access and never executes trades — a permanent design position, not a missing feature.
