Stocks in this sector (BOPS)

Biggest % gain over the latest interval (Oct 17, 02:39 UTC → Oct 17, 13:13 UTC, 10.6h), among products whose previous traction was 5+ (below that, 2 → 6 votes would read as +200%). 0 matches. Spam giveaways excluded.

No product with a previous traction of 5+ gained in the latest interval for this filter.

Traction = current votes (PH) / points (HN) — early-adopter attention, not downloads or usage. Gained = traction gained between the two latest daily ingest runs; Gain % only when the previous traction was 5+. Buzz = comments gained in that interval. “frozen” = no longer tracked, so no current gain. How it works
