How We Score Setups
Every condition on the scanner receives a Quality score (0–100). Higher scores mean more independent signals align — not a buy recommendation, but a measure of setup strength.
Scoring pipeline
- 1. Daily OHLCV + indicators computed for each stock
- 2. Pattern rules detect conditions (EMA cross, RSI expansion, volume breakout, etc.)
- 3. Each condition scored 0–100 using the factors below
- 4. Scanner surfaces top setups; track record shows how past signals performed
