ADR low is only interesting if relative strength is high. This list filters to the top RS quartile first, then sorts ascending — these are the names quietly coiling on top of a stage-2 run. A tight ADR inside a strong RS stock is a tell that institutional players are not distributing; they are holding and accumulating in a controlled, low-volatility consolidation. The risk-reward on entries improves dramatically when range is tight, because stops can be placed more precisely. Tight-range leaders in the top RS quartile are the classic "coiling spring" setup: relative strength confirms the prior trend, and low ADR signals that sellers have stepped aside. The roster filters to 1-month RS percentile above the 75th percentile across the eligible universe, then ranks ascending by ADR% so the tightest names appear first. Cross-reference these names with near 52-week high proximity and volume dryup for the highest-conviction setups.

ADR low is only interesting if relative strength is high. This list filters to the top RS quartile first, then sorts ascending — these are the names quietly coiling on top of a stage-2 run. A tight ADR inside a strong RS stock is a tell that institutional players are not distributing; they are holding and accumulating in a controlled, low-volatility consolidation. The risk-reward on entries improves dramatically when range is tight, because stops can be placed more precisely. Tight-range leaders in the top RS quartile are the classic "coiling spring" setup: relative strength confirms the prior trend, and low ADR signals that sellers have stepped aside.

Top RS quartile first, then sorted ascending by 20-day ADR%, capped at 50.
The primary receipt is "ADR %". See the dedicated essay at /reads/average-daily-range for the full definition and how to read it in context.
Daily after the US market close, around 17:00 ET. The footer of each shortlist shows the exact "computed at" timestamp for the most recent refresh.
50 names balances actionable density against noise: below the cap the receipts get marginal and above it the list stops being a shortlist.
