Methodology

What a setup is

Before the open, the premarket scan reads gapping, high-volume stocks and scores each one on nine components. Core: gap size, volatility (ATR), VWAP structure and market regime. Enhancers: relative volume, options activity, short availability, news and the symbol's own history. Missing data doesn't drag a score down; it lowers the data-coverage figure shown next to it. Each setup carries its composite score and data coverage; the morning list takes the high-score band, the watchlist the medium band. No tier name promises an outcome.

Each setup has three published levels: the decision level (where the idea is entered), the invalidation level (where it is wrong) and the next level (the objective). They never change after publication.

What gets published

• The morning list is every setup issued by 8:15 ET whose levels are consistent with its direction and that carries no exclusion. The free picks are the highest-scoring long and short in it.
• Setups issued after 8:15 appear for Pro as intraday additions with their own time.

What we don't claim

Nothing on this site is a promise or a prediction. The tools describe where structure, positioning and flow sit; they do not say what price will do.
