What We Check & Why It Matters

Seven categories of analysis, explained simply for new investors.

Momentum Oscillators

This category utilizes RSI (Relative Strength Index), Stochastic Oscillators (%K/%D), Williams %R, and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to determine if a stock is technically overbought or oversold. By also calculating the 20-day Rate of Change (ROC), we can identify if the speed of a price move is sustainable or if a reversal is likely, helping you avoid "chasing" a stock at its peak.

Volume Analysis

We compare recent 10-day trading volume against the 50-day average to detect institutional interest. The script tracks On-Balance Volume (OBV) to see if capital is flowing in or out of the stock, and calculates the Up-Day vs Down-Day Volume Ratio. True price breakouts require "volume conviction"; if price rises while volume drops, the move is often a trap.

Volatility Measures

Using Bollinger Bands, we measure price standard deviation to identify "Squeezes" (periods of low volatility often followed by explosive moves) and overextensions. We also calculate ATR% (Average True Range as a percentage) and 21-day Historical Volatility. These metrics quantify the daily "swing" of the stock, allowing you to understand the risk-to-reward profile of the current price action.

Price Structure

A healthy stock should exhibit a "staircase" pattern of higher highs and higher lows over a 20-day window. The script specifically scans for these structural patterns and measures the exact percentage distance from both the 52-week high and 52-week low. This helps distinguish between a stock that is "on sale" at a support level versus one that is in a structural breakdown.

Fundamental Health

This is a deep dive into corporate efficiency and valuation. We check the P/E, P/B, P/S, and PEG ratios to see if you are overpaying for growth. We analyze Free Cash Flow yield, YoY Revenue Growth, Net Profit Margins, and Return on Equity (ROE) to ensure the company is profitable. Additionally, we check the Current Ratio for liquidity, Debt-to-Cash levels for solvency, and compare the current price to the average Analyst Consensus target.

Risk & Sentiment

The script flags upcoming Earnings dates, which can cause extreme overnight price gaps, and calculates Beta to measure sensitivity to market crashes. We also analyze Short Interest to gauge market pessimism and track Insider Activity - monitoring whether company executives are buying or selling their own shares. High insider ownership and low short interest typically signal strong internal confidence in the company's future.

How the Score Works

85–100 → Strong Buy

The majority of indicators are positive across trend, momentum, and fundamentals. Broad-based strength with few red flags. A reasonable entry point for a long-term investor.

70–84 → Buy

More indicators are positive than negative. Some yellow flags exist but the overall picture is constructive. Consider position sizing down if risks are notable.

50–69 → Hold/Neutral

Mixed signals. The stock isn't clearly bullish or bearish. It may be a decent long-term hold if already owned, but probably not the best new entry right now.

35–49 → Caution

More indicators are negative. Not an ideal time to buy - wait for conditions to improve or for the stock to show more convincing signals before entering.

0–34 → Avoid

The majority of indicators are bearish. This is not a recommended new position. Patience is a strategy - wait for a better setup.

Important: This Is a Tool, Not a Crystal Ball

No indicator or score predicts the future. These signals help you make a more informed decision, not an infallible one. Always invest only what you can afford to lose and diversify across multiple positions.
