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

Most low-float setups should be ignored.

A setup can qualify technically.
The stock underneath it can still fail the trade.

Nice Stock Scans filters for structure, participation, and momentum first.

Rapid DD then checks what can undermine the setup underneath.

You do not need this scanner to find momentum. This workflow is built for speed, selectivity, and cleaner execution.

Free tools can still identify trend, volume, and basic price action.

The objective is not to watch everything.

The objective is to narrow the field to a smaller set of setups worth reviewing in more detail.

Step 1 of 2

3-Gate Momentum Filter

Find alignment first. Exclude everything else.

The scanner qualifies setups using 3 gates.
If one breaks, the setup is removed.

No exceptions. No overrides.

01 Structure
Is it already trading up?
5m / 15m / 60m above 200 SMA.
02 Participation
Is there real demand behind the move?
30% float turnover + 5m volume spike.
03 Ignition
Is momentum present right now?
5m RSI ≥ 50 and 15m RSI ≥ 70.

How it looks in practice

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

Step 2 of 2

Rapid DD

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

Rapid DD is the second layer of the workflow. It checks what can damage the trade before capital is committed.

Rapid DD checks for

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

The scanner qualifies the setup.

Rapid DD checks what can break it.

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

Less searching.

Faster review.

Stronger disqualification.

What This Workflow Is

This is a filtering and risk-review workflow for traders who want:

  • faster filtering
  • float turnover visibility
  • real-time stats
  • a more structured review process
  • fewer weak setups reaching the watchlist

This is not:

  • a chat room
  • a signal service
  • an alert feed
  • a winner-only highlight reel

This is about efficiency, not dependency.

The goal is honest pattern review — not cherry-picked winners.

Trade Ideas is only required to run the scanner inside the platform.

FAQ

Do I need a Trade Ideas subscription?

Yes, if you want to run the scanner inside Trade Ideas. The framework, examples, and review materials can be accessed without one.

Is this a signal service?

No. This is a filtering workflow and review process. It is not a real-time alert room.

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 value is in seeing the pattern honestly. The framework is more credible when stronger outcomes, weaker follow-through, and failed continuation are all visible.

Transparent by design.

Built for traders who want cleaner filtering, sharper review, and more selective decisions.
