Track WallStreetBets Momentum to Telegram
Every 4 hours on weekdays, scans r/WallStreetBets for top tickers, sentiment, short squeeze candidates, and options plays — delivered to Telegram.
What It Does
Every 4 hours on weekdays, this workflow monitors Reddit's r/WallStreetBets for the most discussed stocks, dominant sentiment, and trending options plays. It delivers a structured retail sentiment snapshot to your Telegram covering the top 5 mentioned tickers, the hottest discussion thread, the community mood, any short squeeze candidates, and the options play getting the most attention.
Why It Matters
WallStreetBets moves stocks. GameStop happened because enough retail traders coordinated fast. Short squeezes, gamma squeezes, and meme rallies form in hours, not days. By the time it hits financial news, early movers have already made the trade.
Checking WSB every 4 hours manually means 6 tab opens a day. This workflow does it for you and delivers the signal directly to Telegram.
