The platform

See how Nordlight works

Nordlight is the research platform for self-directed investors. Every trading day you see which stocks in the US and Europe stand out, where the market stands, and what that means for your own portfolio. The decisions stay yours.

  • Updated every trading day after the close
  • Stocks in the US and Europe, from a week to a quarter ahead
  • You decide: no advice, no trades on your behalf

What you do with it

Answers to the questions you ask as an investor

Every screen in Nordlight answers one question. These are the six you will use most.

Which stocks deserve a closer look?

Every trading day, five Top Stocks and five Stocks at Risk per region and horizon — week, month or quarter — chosen by our return models, with fixed rules so you only see well-tradable, well-spread names. Behind them sits the full ranked list, and Radar picks out situations worth a second look.

Where does the market stand?

The likely direction of the market over the coming week, whether turbulence is heading up or down, and an early warning for market stress — for the US and Europe separately. Plus which sectors are gaining or losing strength.

What does the outlook for this stock look like?

For every stock: an expected outcome for a week, a month and a quarter, the range it usually falls within, the chance of a gain, the Nordlight Score — where the stock stands against every stock we follow — and the key company figures.

Can I follow a fixed strategy?

Model Portfolios follow a fixed, published method. If you build a copy, you see per position which buys and sells bring it back in line with the model, and you get a notice the day before each scheduled rebalance.

How do I keep up without checking every day?

Put stocks on your watchlist, get notified about your portfolio in the app, and read a short market brief every week.

How it works

From market data to a clear picture, every day

Each evening, after the markets close, we collect prices, company figures, filings and market data, check them, and run our models, each built for its own question. What comes out lands on your screens the next morning.

Most models consist of many decision trees that together estimate an outcome with its range. Where a simpler model measures better, we use that.

Nordlight supports research. The platform does not execute transactions or provide personal investment advice.

You see not only what is expected, but also its range or probability. So you decide with the complete picture.

Why you can rely on it

Transparent about how, and about what it is not

Only what was known at the time

Our models learn and are tested only on information that was already public on that day. No hindsight.

Measured against reality

We hold our forecasts against what actually happened afterwards. Once signed in, you see under Models › Validation how each list performed on data the model had never seen.

Checked data, hosted in the EU

Prices, company figures and filings are checked for freshness, gaps and errors before any model uses them. Your data stays in the EU.

You decide

Nordlight is not a broker and gives no personal investment advice. We never trade for you and never hold your money: you research, you decide, you place your own orders.
