Step-by-step
-
One engine, many pages
All pre-built scanners use the same nightly NSE pass. Each page keeps rows that pass its own rules (base shape, breakout state, patterns, etc.).
-
Result cards
Each card shows a score ring, signal label, tags, and short notes. These describe what the model saw — not what you should do.
-
Total score
0–100 blend of Base Q, RS, volume participation, and failure-risk penalties. Higher = stronger match to that scanner’s ideal row.
-
Signal bands
Very Strong down to Weak map to score ranges — quick shorthand on the card ring.
-
RS rank
Percentile vs every other symbol in that night’s scan. 80+ is top quintile; compare across cards on the same date only.
-
Filter pills
All, Strongest, F&O, Vol Confirmed, Leading RS, and pattern pills hide rows client-side. Underlying saved list unchanged.
-
F&O pill
Keeps symbols on the NSE F&O list — liquid names with derivatives. List source: exchange F&O universe.
-
Guest vs signed in
Guests see a preview count of cards. Sign in for full lists, watchlist, and terminal.
