Stage Analysis

Most trading mistakes are stage mistakes. Buying a Stage 4 chart hoping for a turn, holding a Stage 3 top that already rolled, missing a Stage 2 because it broke out without you. The framework Stan Weinstein published in 1988 is built around a single discipline: classify what stage a stock is in before doing anything else.

Sector Rotation

RS in Corrections

A high RS reading in a correction often means a stock is falling less than the index, not rising. Reading the leaders board correctly during a drawdown means reading it against the regime, not in isolation.

VIX & Volatility Regime

Most retail traders read the VIX as a one-axis fear gauge: high VIX scary, low VIX safe. The actual relationship between volatility and regime health is U-shaped. Both tails warn. The middle is where sustained trends live, and the math the dashboard uses says so explicitly.

Trading Above the 50-Day Moving Average

No single line decides a trade, but if you had to keep one, the 50-day moving average would be a strong candidate. Institutions watch it, and the distance between price and the line tells you whether a stock is supported or getting stretched.

52-Week Highs and Why Proximity Matters

The crowd is taught to fear buying at the highs. The leadership schools read it the other way: a stock pressing into its 52-week high is showing demand the rest of the market has not yet earned. What matters more than a fresh high today is how close a stock sits to its high and how it got there.

Power vs RS Rating

A relative rank always has a top 1%, even in a bear market. An absolute rating does not. That single difference is the reason a stock can read 95 on one strength number and 40 on the other, on the same day.

New Highs Minus New Lows

When the index makes a new high, how many stocks come with it? New highs minus new lows nets the count of stocks at fresh 52-week highs against those at fresh lows. It turns the whole market's participation into one number you can read against the tape.

The Hindenburg Omen

Most breadth warnings fire when the new-low list swamps the new-high list. The Hindenburg Omen is stranger: it fires when both lists are long at the same time, in a rising market.

What Actually Happens After a Follow-Through Day

The Follow-Through Day has been argued about for fifty years on anecdotes: 2009 worked, 2008 didn't. We ran the rule over every session of S&P 500 index data from 1996 to 2026 and measured what actually followed — the returns, the failure rate, the timing of the failures, and which parts of the rule pull their weight.

Concept

What a Base Is and Why Stocks Pause

Half of what a stock does is go nowhere. Those flat stretches are not dead time; they are the market resolving a disagreement about price. Learning to read a base, its depth, its length, and whether it is going quiet, is learning to read the pause before the move.

Updated Jun 4 · 6 min read
Concept

Undercut and Rally

Sometimes the cleanest tell at the bottom of a base is the moment price breaks the floor and then refuses to stay there. An undercut and rally is that failed breakdown: a dip beneath support that flushes the nervous holders, reclaims the line, and leaves the lows with less stock left to sell.

Updated Jun 5 · 6 min read
Concept

Failed Breakout

A breakout is supposed to clear the top of a base and keep going. A failed breakout does the first part and not the second: price pierces resistance, then slips back inside the range it just left. The tell is usually volume, and the reason is usually supply.

Updated Jun 6 · 6 min read

Distribution Days

Tops are quiet. Bottoms are loud. Distribution Days are the one rule that tries to read the change while price still looks fine, by counting the heavy-volume sell-offs the chart pretends are noise.

Guide

What Is a Low-Float Stock? Why Share Supply Drives Explosive Swing Moves

Every stock carries two share counts, and only one of them decides how far a dollar of buying pushes the price. Shares outstanding measures the whole company; float measures what is actually free to trade tonight, and the gap between the two is where the amplifier lives. A thin float means less supply standing between a buyer and the next tick up, which is why the same catalyst produces a mild drift in one stock and a vertical move in another. This is the hub for reading that supply side of the tape: what float is, how it is built from shares outstanding, why it cuts both ways, and the ten specific screens the tickerstance terminal runs on top of it.

Updated Jul 11 · 9 min read
Guide

How to Find Every Leader With a Low Float

Two conditions, one board: relative strength above the 90th percentile, and a float under 40 million shares. `leaders rs>90 float<40m` runs both at once, and what comes back is the part of the market with the least supply to absorb whatever demand shows up next. Some of those names carry a full year of strong readings behind them. Others are too young to score half their columns. The list also hides a dollar-volume trap worth catching before you trust it, and on this particular close, a name that had no business being there at all.

Guide

How to Scan for Low-Float Breakouts (Without Chasing Illiquid Junk)

A stock closing up 4% or more on rising volume is loud by design. That is the whole point of the scan. Floor that same list to floats under 25 million shares and the loud names get louder still, because a thin share count lets one dollar of buying travel a lot further. Some of those loud days are the first print of a new leader. Some are the last gasp before a stock is finished. `bo float<25m` puts both on one fifty-row board, and reading it well comes down to telling them apart before the size of the move fools you.

Guide

Float Rotation Explained: When a Stock's Entire Supply Turns Over

Volume tells you how many shares traded today. Float rotation asks a longer version of the same question: over the last three months, how many times has that volume added up to the entire float. A reading past 2x means the whole tradeable supply turned over twice in that stretch, and whether that is heavy accumulation or aimless churn depends on what relative strength is doing at the same time. The tickerstance terminal screens for the combination directly.

Micro-Cap Leaders: Screening the Smallest Names for Relative Strength

Market cap and float measure two different things about the same stock: how big the company is priced, and how many of its shares can actually move. Most of the time the two drift together, small companies tend toward thin floats, but that is a tendency, not a rule, and a screen needs a rule. `captier=micro` sizes a screen by market cap alone, six tiers running nano to mega, and paired with `rs>90` it turns up the smallest companies by price posting the strongest relative strength: a different list from any float screen, even on the nights the two overlap.

Guide

Low Float, Still Liquid: The Dollar-Volume Filter Every Float Screen Needs

A stock can carry every mark a float screen is built to find (thin share count, strong relative strength) and still be a name you cannot fill without moving the price against yourself. Float measures supply; it says nothing about whether anyone is actually trading that supply. `dollarvol` closes the gap. One command, `screen float<50m dollarvol>10m rs>85`, and the untradeable rows disappear before you find out the hard way.

Float Percent vs. Shares Outstanding: The Ratio That Actually Matters

Two companies can carry wildly different share counts and still hand the market the same number of tradeable shares. Shares outstanding is the number on the cover page; float percent is the fraction of it that founders, insiders and lockups have not already spoken for. The tickerstance terminal screens for the ratio directly, so a low percentage does not hide behind a big headline count.

The Low-Float Coil: Spotting a Spring-Loaded Setup Before It Fires

Thin supply and a tightening range are two separate facts about a stock. Screen for both on the same name and you get a specific shape: not many shares left to sell, and a price that has stopped moving much either way. Whether that shape resolves into a move, and which direction, is a different question than whether it exists tonight.

Updated Jul 11 · 6 min read
Guide

High Float, Heavy Supply: Why These Stocks Rarely Explode

Every rule about thin float has a mirror image. Hand the market a battleship-sized share count instead, 500 million shares or more, and the same demand that would explode a small float barely dents the price. `screen float>500m rs<40` finds that pairing: heavy supply next to weak relative strength. Reading why those names grind instead of gap is the fastest way to see what thin float buys a stock.

Save a Low-Float Screen Once, Reuse It Every Trading Day

A screen only pays off if you actually run it again, and running it again should cost about two seconds, not a fresh retype from memory. Type `screen rs>90 float<40m | save $lowfloat` once tonight, and the terminal hands back tonight's answer, then quietly files that same filter under a one-word handle. From then on, typing `$lowfloat` alone re-runs the identical rule against whatever the market just closed, night after night, with nothing left to retype. That is the whole trick: reading a screen once versus running it as a habit.

Tracking a Low-Float Breakout Cohort: Does the Signal Actually Hold Up?

A breakout scan answers one question: who fired on tonight's close. Floor it to `float<25m` and the list skews toward names that move fastest on thin supply, but it is still one night's answer. `bo float<25m | track 1m` asks the harder question: does this group actually hold up? It freezes the exact cohort the screen returns and follows every one of those names forward, faders included, and reports the group's aggregate health instead of the one ticker you happen to remember. That is how you check whether a signal works instead of collecting an anecdote.

Newly Public, Thin Float: How to Screen Recent IPOs

Right after a company lists, most of its stock is still locked up, so the shares that can actually change hands sit near a lifetime low. That makes a fresh IPO the most supply-constrained corner of the whole low-float universe. `ipos 6m float<40m rs>80` finds the recent listings that are thin and already leading. It also hands you a column of blanks, and those blanks are the terminal being honest that the history does not exist yet. Here is how to read the whole thing.

Thin Float, Wide Range: Screening High-ADR Momentum Leaders

A thin float is an amplifier. It does not create a move; it makes whatever move arrives bigger, because there is less supply standing in the way. ADR is the reading that tells you whether that amplifier is turned up right now. `screen float<40m adr>8 rs>80` finds thin-supply names whose daily range is already wide open, the loud phase, the deliberate opposite of a low-float coil sitting quiet. Just be clear-eyed about what a wide range is: it cuts both ways, and it is the reason this screen needs a liquidity floor more than most.

Thin Float in a Stage 2 Uptrend: The Amplifier Pointed Up

A thin float amplifies whatever demand shows up, but it does not tell you which way the stock is already moving. That is a separate reading, and the terminal keeps it in a separate field. `screen float<40m stage=2 rs>80` stacks thin supply on top of a confirmed Weinstein uptrend, so the names that come back are not just lightly floated, they are lightly floated and already trending up. It is the deliberate opposite of a raw breakout scan, which fires on a single loud day without ever checking what stage the stock is in.

How to Find Relative Strength Leaders

The stocks that lead the next advance are rarely a surprise. They are the names that held up while everything else fell, then broke out first. The hard part is telling durable relative strength from a dead-cat bounce. A ranked leaders board, read the right way, does most of that work for you.

How to Find Small-Cap RS Leaders

A small float is thin supply: fewer shares to satisfy demand, so price travels further when buyers show up. Screen the field for a thin float and a top-of-field relative-strength rank at once and the terminal returns the names that are both, then profiles what they are made of. The catch is that relative strength is a rank, not absolute thrust, and the profile shows exactly how few of these names carry both.

Finding Strong Stocks That Sit Quiet

The best entries often arrive before the crowd notices, while a strong stock is sitting dead quiet. Stockbee called this anticipation.

How to Find Leaders With Accelerating Earnings

Price leadership and earnings acceleration are the two halves of the same trade, and most screens hand you one without the other. `rs>90` finds the stocks the market is already lifting; `epsacc=1` finds the ones whose earnings are inflecting underneath the price. The tickerstance terminal puts both on one screen, then shows the fundamentals beside the leadership so a big number off a tiny base cannot fool you.

How to Find Momentum Leaders You Can Trade in Size

A pure relative-strength screen returns strong names of every size, including thin microcaps you cannot get in or out of without moving the price yourself. Adding a dollar-volume floor keeps the strength and drops the names you cannot work in size. The tickerstance terminal does both in one line.

How to Compare Relative Strength Across Timeframes

Relative strength is not one number, it is a term structure.

How to Find Calm Stocks at New Highs

Not every stock at a new high is the same. A name pressing its 52-week high while barely moving each day is quietly absorbing supply; one that rocketed there on a huge daily range may be blowing off. The tickerstance terminal separates the two with a single range filter, on one screen.

How to Build a Self-Updating Watchlist of RS Leaders

A watchlist built from a screen goes stale the moment leadership moves on. The fix is to save the question instead of the answer. The tickerstance terminal lets you file a screen away under a $handle, so calling it back re-runs the rule against the latest close and the list rebuilds itself.

How to Find Stocks Up 80% Off Their Lows

A stock up 80% off its low has either climbed into a real institutional uptrend or been squeezed off a broken bottom. The Double Trouble screen finds both in one command, and the DT number read next to the relative-strength rank and the Weinstein stage tells you which is which.

How to Find Strong Recent IPOs

Many of the biggest momentum runs start in stocks that only just listed. A recent IPO has no cohort of trapped buyers from years of higher prices, so it can trend cleanly once demand shows up.

Which Stocks Are Breaking Out on Volume Today

A breakout is an event: a stock closing up at least four percent on heavier volume than the day before. Whether it matters depends on who is breaking out. The tickerstance terminal puts every one of today's breakouts on one screen, then lets you keep only the ones a leader owns.

How to Track What Happens to a Screen's Cohort

A stock screen answers one question: who clears the bar tonight. It says nothing about what happened to that group of names afterward. `bo | track 1m` freezes today's breakout cohort of 50 names and reports how the group's aggregate health moved across the month, so you can see whether a screen's names actually go anywhere as a group instead of trusting the one anecdote that worked.

How to Find the Tightest Coiled Stocks

Coil is a single number for how tightly a stock has wound up: 100 is the tightest range on the tape, 0 is loose. The catch is that tightness alone does not tell you whether a name is coiling under strength or just dead. This is how to screen for the tight ones and keep the ones that matter.

Which Sectors Are Leading Right Now

Rotation is capital changing its mind about where the growth is. It shows up as a change in relative-strength rank, not as a single loud day. The tickerstance terminal puts that rank change on one screen, so you can see which groups are gaining ground and which are quietly bleeding it.

Updated Jul 5 · 7 min read

Which Themes Have Momentum Right Now

A theme is a curated basket of stocks that share a story, not a sector code. Because the money chasing a story is spread across several sectors at once, a rotation is often visible at the theme level before the sector board catches up. The tickerstance terminal ranks those baskets by momentum on one screen, so you can see which stories capital is accelerating into and which it is abandoning.

Window Returns: How Far, and How Safely, a Stock Has Run

A single percentage return compresses three different questions into one number: how far did the stock actually move, how far did it move at its best moment, and how rough was the ride getting there. tickerstance answers all three with one grammar: pick a metric, `ret` for the close-to-close move, `maxup` for the intraday run-up, `maxdd` for the peak-to-trough drawdown, and a window, any length up to a year, and the terminal computes it on the fly across the whole universe. `screen ret21d>=25 maxdd21d>-8` is what that looks like typed out: a month of real gain, held without much of a scare along the way.

Stocks Up 50 Percent in 3 Months: Why the Ruler You Pick Changes the List

Search "stocks up 50 percent in 3 months" and the list you want feels obvious: the names that ran the hardest over the last quarter. What's missing from the phrase is where you're supposed to measure from and measure to. `maxup3m` answers it one way, the highest a stock reached against where it started; `ret3m` answers it another, the close-to-close return. Add an `rs` floor and the list narrows from "ran hard once" to "ran hard and is still running." The tickerstance terminal screens for exactly that combination.

Shallow-Drawdown Leaders: Strong Stocks That Hold Their Gains

Going up is half the job. A stock can gain 20% in a month and still take a normal stop out twice on the way, or make the same 20% while barely dipping below where you bought it. `maxdd21d` measures the difference: the worst peak-to-trough slide inside the trailing 21 bars, checked against a running high rather than the entry price. Screening for a shallow reading turns up leaders worth holding: the ones that never traded far below their own recent high.

Monthly Gainers Still Trending: Separating a Real Leg Up From a Bounce

Every finance site runs some version of the monthly gainers list: whatever stock is up the most over the last several weeks, ranked biggest move first. Most of what lands on it is not a trend: a dead-cat bounce off a multi-year low, or a short squeeze in a name that is otherwise falling apart. Sometimes it is nothing more than a headline that spiked the stock for a day and mostly faded before the month closed. `ret21d` is the close-to-close return over the trailing 21 trading sessions, about a calendar month, and `stage=2` keeps only the names the model classifies as an ongoing Stage 2 uptrend rather than a bounce inside a downtrend. The tickerstance terminal screens the pair directly.
