X Most low-float setups should be ignored.

X Nice Stock Scans filters for structure, participation, and momentum first.
X Rapid DD then checks what can undermine the setup underneath.
X 167 qualified setups logged publicly. Every winner. Every miss.
X 27% expanded 20%+. Average: about 5 qualified alerts per day.

Step 1: 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.
***************************
The framework identifies the setup.
It does not guarantee the outcome.
The scan narrows the field.
It does not replace judgment.
****************************
Step 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
The purpose is to review the pattern honestly, including stronger follow-through, weaker follow-through, and failure.
Every expansion and every breakdown.
That is what makes the framework credible.
What This Adds to the Live Workflow
Free tools can still find momentum.
*******************
What this workflow adds:
faster filtering
float turnover visibility
live stat updates
more efficient review
less manual sorting
That matters when the task is not simply to find a moving stock.
It matters when the task is to identify it earlier, evaluate it more cleanly, and spend less time on lower-quality setups.
This is about efficiency, not dependency.

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.
Why show both stronger outcomes 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.
