Low-Float Momentum Scanner
(Sub-30M Float)

An uptrend shows structure, but structure alone is not enough.

This workflow uses 3 gates to filter for momentum trades.

167 setups logged publicly Every winner. Every miss.

Here’s how it works.

Step 1 of 2

Step 1: The 3 Gates

If one breaks, the setup is removed from scan view.

01 Structure
Are we uptrending?
To catch an uptrend, you need to be in an uptrend.
5m / 15m / 60m above 200 SMA.
02 Participation
Is there real demand behind the move?
Filters weak, low-commitment moves.
30% float turnover + 5m volume spike.
03 Ignition
Is momentum actually there right now?
Momentum must be present, not assumed.
5m RSI ≥ 50 and 15m RSI ≥ 70.

Not hundreds. About five.

Historical recap snapshot shown for educational review only. Outcomes varied widely, and many qualified setups did not follow through.

Why this matters

The goal is not to catch every stock that moves. It is to narrow the pool to those capable of making big moves.

  • Cut the list down fast.
  • Focus on setups with cleaner alignment.
  • Spend less time sorting.
  • Spend more time verifying.

The 3 gates are built to surface the few setups worth reviewing.

How it looks in practice

The 3 gates qualify the setup. They do not guarantee the outcome.

The scan narrows the field to only the stocks meeting all 3 gates. It does not replace judgment.

Most traders stop at the chart.

Always check for underbelly risk before executing any trade.

Step 2 of 2

Step 2: Rapid DD

A setup can pass the 3 gates and still fail underneath.

That is why the workflow does not stop at the chart.

  • Dilution
  • Offerings
  • Cash problems
  • Compliance issues
  • News risk
  • Halt risk

That is what turns good-looking momentum into garbage fast.

The 3 gates qualify the setup. Rapid DD checks what can break it before it costs you.

Less guessing. Faster decisions.

Enter a ticker and pull filings, borrow data, compliance checks, and key risk links fast.

No hunting around. Just get to the risk quicker.

What this is not

• Chat room
• Signal service
• Highlight reel of only big winners

The point is to track the pattern honestly — including winners, weaker follow-through, and failure.

Before you start

Do I need a Trade Ideas subscription?

Yes — if you want to use the scanner inside Trade Ideas.

The tools, framework, examples, and recap materials can be accessed without one. The scanner itself is used within the Trade Ideas platform.

Is this a chat alert service?

No.

The scanner runs inside Trade Ideas and surfaces setups currently meeting the 3-gate framework.

Do setups get removed?

Yes.

If a setup fails any one of the 3 gates, it is removed from the scan view. That’s the protection.

Why show both stronger examples and weaker ones?

Because the point is not to pretend every qualified chart becomes a home run. The point is to show the pattern honestly and help you focus on setups that deserve deeper review.

Transparent by design.

Built for traders who want to filter first, verify second, and waste less time.
