Frequently asked questions
Plain answers about what the system is, what you get, and how to use it day to day. Still stuck after this? Reach me directly →
What you get
What am I actually paying for?
You are paying to skip the grind. Every night after the US close, the system reads the whole US market, 12,000+ names, and ranks the handful that fit a tested setup. Then experienced traders cut that down to what is worth your attention, so a short, ranked list is waiting on your dashboard before the open. Each name comes with the reason it showed up and the price level where the idea is wrong. You still pull the trigger.
How is this different from free stock tips on Twitter or Reddit?
A Reddit tip is one person, one stock, on a good day. You get no reason you can check and no idea what happens when they are wrong. Here, every name comes out of the same scan run across the entire market every single day, and it arrives with the setup, the risk, and the price level that kills the trade. You can pull up the chart and check the reasoning yourself before you risk a dollar.
Is it just an algorithm, or does a human decide?
Both, doing the part each is good at. The machine scans the whole US market, 12,000+ names, and ranks the roughly 6,600 liquid enough to actually trade each session, which no person could do by hand. Then experienced traders go over what it flags, throw out the noise the numbers miss, and decide what is worth your attention. You get the reach of software with the judgment of people who have traded through real markets.
How do I know it works?
You do not take my word for it, and you should not. Behind it sits a proprietary ranking model fed by premium, paid market data, the same grade of feed the desks use. Every setup is backtested over years of history, including stretches it never saw while it was being built, before it is allowed to flag a name. Every idea basket is then tracked in the open, winners and losers, so you can watch how they age with your own eyes. This gives you a disciplined way to find ideas worth your research. It will not hand you easy money, and anyone who promises that is lying. Judge it on what you see, then size every trade for your own risk.
Using it day to day
How many ideas do I get, and how often?
The list refreshes every morning, before the open, so you start each trading day with a fresh, ranked shortlist. Some days a setup jumps off the page. Some days nothing is worth the risk, and sitting on your hands is the trade. You are never pushed to act, and the list never runs dry.
Is this day trading or swing trading?
Swing trading. These are mostly swing setups, the kind you hold from a few days to a couple of weeks. The rankings are rebuilt after each close and prices stay live through the day, so it suits someone who checks in once a day rather than someone living on a one-minute chart.
What markets and instruments does it cover?
US stocks and their options. The engine scans the full US equity universe, and where an idea fits an options trade you get the levels to play it. No crypto, no forex, no penny-stock noise.
Will you tell me when to take profits or cut?
Every idea is framed around risk first: where you are wrong, and the reward against that risk, before the upside. Paste your holdings into the Positions tab and you get a read on each one, trim, hold, add or cut, with levels. The final decision stays yours.
Do I need a big account or a special broker?
No. Any standard brokerage works, and the ideas scale to whatever size you trade. Position sizing is part of the read, so a smaller account can follow the same logic with smaller bets.
Is this for beginners?
It is written in plain English and explains the why behind every name, so a motivated beginner can follow along and learn fast. It does assume you will do your own homework on each idea. If you have never placed a trade, start small and read the Method page first.

How fresh is the data?
The dashboards reflect the last completed session and update after each market close, so the ranked list and every setup are ready before the open. The price feed stays live through the trading day, and the green "Live data" badge shows the last refresh time so you can see it is current. If a run ever falls behind, the badge turns red on its own, so you never act on stale numbers without knowing. More on the method →
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a research tool to think with. It is not personalized advice, so always check the chart and size every trade for your own risk.
