Getting started

Pick your market at the top — US Stocks or Crypto — and the whole site re-scopes to it. Start on the Dashboard for the big picture, use the Screener to filter, and open any ticker for its full deep-dive. The single most useful number is conviction (0–100): how much evidence supports the setup. Everything else explains why.

The signals

The 8 operator phases

Every asset is placed on the accumulation → markup → distribution cycle. You want to buy in Loading / Fully Loaded — before the run — and avoid Distributing.

Conviction & Buy Score

Conviction (0–100)
How much evidence supports a setup: the signal pattern, unusual volume, the asset's own ignition history, trend alignment, accumulation, relative strength and (for stocks) fundamentals — blended into one number. 75+ is strong, 55–75 is worth watching, below 40 is weak.
Buy Score
A weighted blend of entry timing (60%) and conviction (40%) — the single number the pick engine ranks by. It also gates out chases: no buying a fresh spike or a name at its high.
Trap risk
How often this asset's past breakouts reversed. LOW means breakouts tend to hold; HIGH/EXTREME means they often fail — use a tighter stop, or wait.
