The screen on this site ranks stocks against several published trading frameworks. These guides explain what those frameworks actually say, why their rules exist, and where they break down — so the rankings are something you can evaluate for yourself rather than take on faith.
Everything here is educational. None of it is advice, and none of it should be treated as a reason to buy or sell anything.
How to Read the Screen
What the two lists mean, how to interpret the detail view, and — importantly — the specific conclusions this data does not support. Start here.
Read the guide →Minervini's Trend Template
All eight criteria explained individually: what each one measures, the market behavior it is designed to filter out, and why a partial score is often more informative than a pass or fail.
Read the guide →O'Neil's CANSLIM Framework
What each of the seven letters stands for, the reasoning behind each factor, and an honest account of which parts an automated screen can and cannot assess.
Read the guide →Momentum vs. Value
Two genuinely different theories of what makes a stock worth owning, why each works, how each fails, and why this site publishes a separate list for both.
Read the guide →Glossary
Every term used in the screen defined in plain language — moving averages, RS Rating, ADR, PEG, overhead supply, episodic pivots, and the rest.
Read the guide →Methodology & Limitations
Exactly how the scan works: data sources, refresh cadence, how each score is computed, known approximations, and what the screen cannot do.
Read the methodology →Suggested reading order
If you are new to this style of screening, the guides build on each other in this order:
- How to Read the Screen — orients you to what you are looking at and, more importantly, what it does not tell you.
- The Trend Template — the primary ranking factor for both lists, so understanding it explains most of what drives the order.
- CANSLIM — where the fundamental factors come from and why they sit alongside technical ones.
- Momentum vs. Value — the philosophical difference between the two lists.
- Glossary — reference material to return to as needed.
