A self-hosted trading cockpit that scans pre-market gappers, intraday breakouts, HOD/LOD reversals and short-side edge — then sizes, executes and protects every position with broker-side stops. Backtested. Auditable. Yours.
Pulled directly from the live trade journal. Nothing curated, nothing hidden.
Every signal flows from real-time data → ranked list → position size → order → broker-side stop → journal entry. No spreadsheets. No copy-paste.
Pre-market gappers ranked by gap %, dollar volume, float, and short interest. Surfaces the names worth watching at the open.
Intraday continuation breakouts above pre-market high — entry rules, stop levels, and risk-adjusted size already calculated.
Quantified short-selling edge: hold-time bands, entry-hour heatmaps, and price-range performance from 4 years of historical fills.
Stocks printing fresh highs of the day or lows of the day, filtered by relative volume and proximity to the level.
Names that opened green and rolled negative — the classic morning fade setup, automated and ranked by velocity.
Detects unusual relative-volume spikes and previous-day-low breaks the moment they print, not five minutes later.
Every working position gets a GTC broker-side stop. If a stop ever goes missing, StopGuard places one automatically.
Replay 4 years of intraday data through every strategy. Equity curve, drawdown, hold-time and entry-hour analytics.
Eight independent strategies poll live data on a sub-minute cadence and stream candidates to the cockpit.
