How it works
Trend → Momentum → one strategy → Risk
This screen looks for an upward trend. Trend is the close above the 50-day. Momentum is RSI in the band and the MACD line crossing up. A strategy is optional: Trend Strength, Breakout Readiness, or Pullback Setup. If none is on, that test is left out. Risk is beta, a coming earnings report, and room under a ceiling.
Two setups
Not investment advice. These checks only narrow a list. They do not find a winning stock, and they are not a reason to buy.
A starting setup
- Above 50-day, on
- RSI 45–70, on
- MACD cross within 3 sessions, on
- Trend Strength, on. Leave Breakout Readiness and Pullback Setup off.
- No report within 5 days, on
- Beta 0–3, on
Buying the dip
Above the 50-day, then the pullback back toward it. Leave the other strategies off.
- Above 50-day, on
- Pullback Setup, on
- Trend Strength and Breakout Readiness, off
Clear of resistance can stay off. A name is listed only when every check that is on passes. The exact rules are on the methodology page.
What happens after the scan?
The Android app is the same screen, opened full screen. The list is names that match the checks that are on.
Scan → Open the chart → Read the checks
A row shows the daily chart and which checks passed. The screen does not say what to do next.
