Where do users come from?
Traffic estimate last month: the top channel is direct (29.81%), with organic search about 52.6% of traffic (estimated from rank) and referrals about 10.5%; there are only 5 search terms, about 75% of them brand keywords (mad dog alpha, mad dog ai, mad dog alpha 疯狗投研), and the only non-brand term is "0981股價" (SMIC's Hong Kong stock code). The founder did not fill in a channel on Revenue record; the only publicly findable launches are two HN posts on 2026-03-30 and 04-01 (2 points each) and a Product Hunt page (2 votes, 1 comment, #160 of the day). Last month's visit count is empty in the input data. Existing users come back through alerts and the daily market brief (stated on the site; whether they actually pull users back is not verified).
