Feature
Themes Lab
Themes Lab classifies the market into narrative themes — Memory, Foundry, AI Infrastructure, Connectivity Semiconductors and more than 180 others — ranked by relative strength, so you can spot rotation into a theme before it shows up at the sector level.
More granular than sectors
Themes Lab classifies every stock into a mega-theme, a theme, and one or more secondary tags — a hierarchy narrower than the 11 GICS sectors. Instead of one broad "Technology" bucket, you see Memory, Foundry, Semiconductor Equipment, Connectivity Semiconductors and AI Infrastructure as separate, independently ranked themes, each with its own relative-strength rank and leading names.
That granularity catches rotation earlier: a handful of themes inside a sector can be breaking out while the sector average still looks flat, or a sector can look strong while leadership is concentrated in just one or two of its themes.
An AI-synthesized read of what's rotating
An AI Insights summary sits at the top of the dashboard with a one-line, risk-on/risk-off read of the day's theme action — for example, calling out which themes are broadening leadership versus coiling near support. Below it, a Leading Themes rail surfaces the top-ranked themes by relative strength, each with its top constituent tickers, and separate Setting Up and Lagging rows flag themes forming bases versus falling behind.
It's a synthesized starting point, not a black box: every AI Insights call is backed by the same relative-strength data in the table below it, so you can verify the read before acting on it.
Drill into leaders and send them to a watchlist
The Theme Breakdown table lists every tracked theme (180+ at any given time) with a 30-day trend sparkline, its top 5 leaders and top 5 setting-up names by relative-strength rank, and returns across 1-day, 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year windows. Sort by any column, filter to leaders-only, or switch to Hierarchy view to drill from mega-theme down through theme to individual constituents in a detail panel.
When a theme is worth trading, send its entire constituent list to a new or existing watchlist in one action instead of adding tickers one at a time.
Who it's for
- Traders who want theme-level granularity — narrower and more responsive than broad GICS sectors
- Traders who want an AI-synthesized read of rotating leadership before drilling into the data behind it
- Anyone who wants to act on a leading theme immediately by sending its full constituent list to a watchlist
Frequently asked questions
What is Themes Lab?
Themes Lab is TradersLab's theme-classification tool. It groups the market into mega-themes, themes and secondary tags — narrower than GICS sectors — and ranks each by relative strength, with an AI-synthesized summary of which themes are leading, setting up or lagging.
How is Themes Lab different from sector rotation?
Sector rotation ranks the 11 broad GICS sectors and market-cap sub-markets. Themes Lab is more granular — it ranks narrower, narrative-driven groups (like Memory or AI Infrastructure) that sit inside those sectors, so you can catch rotation into a specific theme before it moves the whole sector average.
What does the relative-strength rank in Themes Lab mean?
Each theme, and each stock within it, gets a relative-strength rank versus the rest of the market. Themes and constituents ranked near 99-100 are the market's strongest current leaders; the Theme Breakdown table sorts by this rank so leadership is visible at a glance.
Can I send a theme's stocks to a watchlist?
Yes. Select a theme's leaders or its full constituent list and send them to a new or existing watchlist in one action, rather than adding tickers individually.
How many themes does TradersLab track?
Themes Lab tracks 180+ themes at any given time, organized under a smaller set of mega-themes, each with its own relative-strength rank, leaders and setting-up names.
