How it works

From algo scan to trade card
in under 6 hours

Every S&P 500 stock. Four signals. One conviction score. Full options trade card in your inbox before the market opens.

01

The algo runs at 4:00 AM ET

Every trading day before dawn, the QuantConnect-powered scanner pulls live price data, options chains, and volume across all 500 S&P constituents. No human curation — purely algorithmic.

Every stock is scored 0–100

Four signals are weighted and combined into a single conviction score: EMA alignment (trend), RSI momentum, Relative Strength vs SPY, and volume surge. Only setups above the threshold qualify.

Options contracts are selected

For each qualifying setup, the algo selects the optimal contract using IVR classification (Low / Medium / High), delta targeting, and expiry selection. Entry mid, stop, and target are calculated automatically.

The scoring model

Four signals. One score.

Each signal is weighted and combined into a 0–100 conviction score. Only setups scoring above the threshold make it into your brief.

EMA Cross30%

Price above both 8 and 21 EMA with the short crossing over the long. Confirms the trend is intact and accelerating.

RSI Momentum25%

RSI in the 55–75 zone — strong momentum without being overbought. Filters out exhausted moves.

Relative Strength25%

Stock outperforming SPY on a 10-day rolling basis. We want leaders, not laggards.

Volume Surge20%

Intraday or recent volume exceeding the 20-day average. Confirms institutional participation.

Common questions

Good questions. Straight answers.

Is this a signal service or a newsletter?

Neither exactly. It's an algorithmic scanner that generates structured trade cards — not human commentary or opinion. Every setup is scored the same way every day.

Do I have to act on every setup?

No. The Morning Brief is a menu, not a mandate. You choose which setups to trade based on your account size, risk tolerance, and conviction.

What market experience do I need?

You should understand how options work — buying calls, reading a chain, and managing stops. The algo handles the scanning and contract selection; you handle execution.

Are these backtested or live results?

Live results only. Every setup delivered since launch is logged and published on the Results page — wins, losses, and open positions.

What time does the brief arrive?

By 9:30 AM ET on every US trading day. Pre-market (Elite tier) delivers an additional scan at 8:45 AM.
