Research terminal
The evidence behind a stock, in one terminal.
TellHawk Terminal lines up filings, insider trades, fund holdings, short interest, macro data and news for any US-listed stock. Every block names its source and the date it describes, so you can check it.
- 24 research and screening tools
- Every block sourced and dated
- Research only: it places no orders
What it is
TellHawk Terminal, explained.
TellHawk Terminal is a web-based research terminal. It collects the public record on a company (SEC filings, insider Form 4 trades, 13F fund holdings, short-interest reports, macro releases and news) and puts it on one screen, with each block labelled with its source and the date it describes.
Alongside the research tools sits the Strategy Lab, where you can test an idea against years of history after costs. The Terminal does not place orders or connect to a brokerage; that is what TellHawk Trader is for.
Who it is for
Investors who read primary sources
You want to see the filing behind the headline: who sold, which funds added, what the company just told the SEC.
Analysts who hand work to others
Ticker, sector, country and rates reports can be exported (CSV, PDF, HTML) with their sources attached.
Rule builders
You have an idea and want to know if it survives costs and years it was never tuned on, before any money is involved.
Key features
What it does today.
Morning Brief: market posture on one screen
Start the day with volatility, the yield curve, credit conditions and how speculators are positioned in futures, each with its official source and the date it describes.
- Futures positioning from weekly CFTC reports
- Every block is dated; nothing is presented as live when it is not
- Free on every plan
Ticker Report: one company, every block sourced
Price and 52-week range, momentum, insider activity, institutional holders, short interest, fundamentals and news for a single ticker, laid out as blocks you can read in order.
- Core sections are free; full reports are part of Pro
- Reports export to CSV, PDF or HTML (Free exports are a 25-row preview)
- Each block shows where its data came from
News with what the market did next
Filings, press releases, headlines and official releases in one filterable feed, with counts by source, the tone split, and how the stock moved afterwards.
- SEC 8-Ks, press releases, third-party news headlines and official releases
- Reactions measured against the index, so a market-wide move is not mistaken for a company one
ETF Overlap: how concentrated is the basket?

- Flags concentration risk across the funds you hold
- Part of Pro

Limits
What to know before you use it.
- Data is refreshed by a nightly pipeline. It is not a live quote feed, and blocks say what date they describe.
- The Terminal is research only. It does not place orders; nothing in it is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.
- Prices, bars, volatility and FX series come from third-party market data. Anything built on filings alone (SEC, FRED, BLS, Treasury, CFTC) is what the Pro-only sections use.
- Backtests in the Strategy Lab replay history; they do not predict the future.
