Rolling over today — still pays when you hold to the red dot — 73% rose. Three-quarter size.

Favourable odds are a tilt, not a promise — four in ten still lose even in the best weather, which is why every pick carries its exits.

Earnings week4 names

Earnings week, played honestly. Nobody can tell you which way a stock jumps on its report — anyone who claims to is selling something. What we CAN show: who reports soon, how hard it usually moves, and whether informed money positioned itself beforehand. Then two disciplined ways in — including our favorite: let the overreaction come to you.

Scout Report — what to do today

The backtested dot signals, each with its plan already attached — the size for a 30% hole, the big red dot exit, the day-126 cap. The list is at most twelve a day: the strongest dot in a stock trading $50M+ a day, clear of earnings, and at least 30% below its 52-week high — the deepest discounts first. An empty page IS the answer on a day nothing qualifies. The informed-money engine has its own tab: Whales.

The plan, in plain words
1Size it for a holeThere is no stop. Buy an amount where a 30% hole only costs what you can shrug off — the size is the safety.
2Sell on the first big red dotThe overheated sell signal on the daily chart. When it fires, the plan sells at the next open — up or down, no debate.
3Or on day 126Whichever comes first. Half a year is the longest any pick rides; nothing is held on hope.
4Check in on day 21A look, not a trigger: down at the check-in was normal in the history, and most of those still finished green. Whales carry their own plan, shown on their tab.

Whales — follow the big money

1 more discounted names are still loading their fundamentals — a few fill in each day: COIN

How to read this page — and how it can fool you

The arrow is the whole trick. Every card compares the price-to-earnings ratio today with what it becomes on next year's forecast earnings. Arrow falling (green): profits are expected to grow into the price — the discount may be a sale. Arrow rising (red): analysts expect profits to shrink, so the stock looks cheap against earnings it isn't going to repeat. That single line separates a bargain from a decline better than any other number here.

Cheapest is usually cheap for a reason. On the day this page launched, the lowest P/E of all 100 names scored last on its checks — shrinking sales, growth already priced in. A low multiple is where the search starts, never where it ends.

Where the numbers come from. Prices and discounts update with every scan. Fundamentals (P/E, margins, analyst targets) refresh weekly on a rotating schedule — each card shows its own age, so a week-old number is labelled a week old.

What this page is not. It is a reading list, not a buy list. It is separate from the daily dot system — that system is tested and graded on short holds; this page is fundamentals research for the patient, and it is not backtested. DotScoutTM never places a trade for anyone; every decision stays yours.

Crypto — the same dots, a different market

Funding, dominance, market cap and all-time-high distance read live at 16:48 — those are market state, not the nightly close.

What these columns mean, and why they are not the stock ones

The stock tabs lean on Congress filings, insider buys and fund flows. None of that exists for a token — so this board uses the things crypto publishes and equities never do.

1Crowd (funding)Perpetual futures charge a fee every few hours to whichever side is crowded. Above the baseline, longs are paying to stay long; well below, shorts are. It is the closest thing this market has to seeing the other side's hand.
2Tracks BTCMost alts are Bitcoin with leverage attached. A number near 1.0 means owning it alongside Bitcoin is not diversification — it is the same bet, twice.
3vs BTCBeating Bitcoin is the actual bar here, because holding Bitcoin was always the alternative. A coin up 20% while Bitcoin is up 25% lost ground.
4From highUnlike most stocks, crypto revisits its old highs. How far below one a coin sits is a real position in the cycle — and a reason to ask what broke, never a reason on its own to buy.
5What is deliberately missingEvery other crypto site leads with 24-hour volume. We do not show it. A study presented to the SEC found roughly 95% of reported spot volume was fake, and a later review of 157 exchanges still put more than half of it as non-economic. A number that can be invented is not a number we will rank anything by. There is also no score and no grade here — the stock side earned those with a backtest, and this side has not run one yet.
What this tab does not doEvery stock pick on this app ships with an exit rule that survived three years of testing. These dots carry no such rule here — not yet. The signal engine is the same one, but it has never been tested on 24/7 crypto candles, and crypto swings several times harder than equities, so the stock exit numbers almost certainly do not transfer. Until that test exists this tab is a watchlist, not a plan: no entry price, no stop, no target. Nothing here is sized, and nothing here is traded by the practice account.

My Picks — your personal scoreboard

A practice list, not a brokerage. Education, not advice — prices update once daily after the close.

Hype Check — scout it before you buy it

Someone pitching you a stock — a friend, a TikTok, a "can't-miss" tip? Type the ticker. DotScoutTM checks its momentum, whale activity, volatility, and history in one second — and tells you in plain English whether the data backs the hype. Built for the moment right before you spend a dollar.

What it checks

1Is it overheated?Hype usually arrives AFTER the move. We check if the excitement already happened.
2Are whales in it?Insiders, Congress, contracts, funds. Hype with no informed money behind it is the classic pump pattern.
3How wild is it?Typical daily swing, distance off its high — how much pain a wrong buy could bring.
4Is it even visible?Too small for our ~6,000-stock scanner = exactly where pump-and-dumps live.

The whale check reads Congress filings, insider buying, contracts and fund flows supplied by Quiver Quantitative.

Learn — how DotScoutTM works, in plain English

DotScoutTM exists for regular people — the ones usually sold hype, jargon, and guaranteed-riches promises, then left holding the bag. Here there are no promises: just evidence, exits, and plain English. Five minutes on this page and the whole app makes sense. No finance degree required.

A five-minute briefing

One setup, taught properly.
Odds before the trade, the result after.

DotScout™ teaches the oversold snapback: which stocks are in it this morning, what history says about setups like that, what kind of market you are in — and every evening, what actually happened. Research and education, never advice. Swipe, or use the arrow keys.

The problem

Everyone tells you what to buy.
Nobody tells you when to get out.

That is where beginners actually lose money — not on the pick, but on having no plan for the pick going wrong. A tip with no exit is a coin flip with your money on it.

So every idea in this app arrives with its plan already attached.
The idea

A good stock, sold down like a stretched spring

When enough people panic-sell, a stock becomes oversold. The green dot fires the moment it starts turning back up. That is the whole signal.

That research is the evidence this app offers — there is no live performance record here, and any number claiming to be one deserves suspicion.
The weather

A good setup has bad months

Three years of A-grade signals, each run through the same exit plan on every card. Under the index’s 200-day average — a washout — nearly three in four rose; in a calm uptrend the same signal was a coin-flip that averaged nothing. The Market Weather card says which kind of day this is, so you can size down or sit one out.

Odds are a tilt, not a promise: four in ten still lose even in the best weather.
The plan

One exit: the big red dot

You sell the morning after the daily gauge turns down from the overheated zone — the big red dot. Until then you hold, through the dips: on three years of history the ride averaged +8.4% a trade with 72% green, and adding a 20% stop made it worse, because the trades that dipped on the way were the ones that paid. A day-126 cap ends anything that never got there. The risk is handled by size: buy an amount where a 30% hole is a shrug.

Reading the app

The Activity column: who actually showed up

Every pick shows how busy it is against its own normal day. A dot on heavy volume has real buying behind it; the same dot on a quiet day is a few traders moving a sleepy stock.

A liquidity floor sits under every pick: a stock must trade $50M+ a day before it can count as an A-grade here or make the picks list; thinner names that fire wait in the full list. A setup you could not comfortably get out of is not a setup.

The second engine

What the chart says × what informed people are doing

Company insiders, members of Congress, government contracts, lobbying, fund flows — all public, all scattered, gathered nightly and ranked. One group can be wrong; several agreeing on the same stock is the signal.

The rules we hold ourselves to

One list. The same for everyone.

DotScoutTM is a research publication, not an adviser. Everyone opening the app on the same morning sees the identical report. It does not know your situation and never asks, so it cannot tell you what you should buy — and it will not, in the app or by email.

A signal only gets one turn: once the system has traded a dot, that dot is finished. A genuinely new signal later is a new idea.

No promises. No guaranteed returns. Losses are part of the arithmetic.
How to use it

Size it so a wrong pick costs a shrug

Many people risk about 1% of their account per idea. With a 30% hole as the realistic worst case, that means a position about 3% of the account — $500 on $15,000. Every card shows the maths at $1,000 so you can scale it.

Practice on paper first. Watch it for a month without spending anything, until holding through a dip feels normal. Research and education — never investment advice.

That is the whole idea

Now go and use it.

Everything above is running already. The tabs along the top are where it lives:

  • Today — what fired this morning, in one glance.
  • Scout — today’s picks with the full plan and exits.
  • Whales — what insiders, Congress and funds are buying.
  • Hype Check — look up any ticker before you buy it.

The big idea (30 seconds)

When lots of people panic-sell a stock, it gets "oversold" — stretched down like a spring. A green dot fires when a stretched-down stock starts turning back up. We tested this on 3 years of market history (55,000+ signals): dots that fired from deeply oversold went on to rise over the next 1–2 weeks noticeably more often than normal days. Dots from the "middle" zone were no better than chance — so we grade everything, and every card shows its receipt: the real historical numbers for that exact flavor of signal.

Tip: every ticker (underlined, with a ↗) links to a live chart on TradingView so you can see exactly what the stock is doing right now. On your phone, tap any dotted word to see what it means.

What the grades mean

  • A — the proven signal PLUS extra good things stacked on top (whale activity, a rising weekly tide). The Scout Report is built from these.
  • B — decent; reasonable if you go smaller.
  • C — watching only. Not a trade idea, shown for completeness.
  • MID / SMALL-INTL / WATCH — company size tags. Smaller companies move more in both directions; our own full-year replay showed small-cap signals were harder to profit from, so treat those with extra care.
  • CONFLUENCE — a buy dot AND whale activity on the same stock at the same time. Rare, and the strongest evidence the system produces — so when several setups compete on the same day, these are listed first.

A liquidity floor sits under every pick. A setup you could not comfortably get out of is not a setup, however good the chart looks — so a stock has to be trading real money, $50M+ a day, before it can count as an A-grade here or make the picks list. Thinner names that fire wait in the full list to watch, and the list itself is at most twelve a day: the deepest discounts, at least 30% below their 52-week high, first.

Reading the Activity column

Every pick shows how busy it is compared with its own normal day — 1.0× is average, 2× means twice the usual crowd showed up, 0.5× means half. That multiple is the useful part: a dot firing on heavy volume has real buying behind it, while the same dot on a quiet day is a few traders moving a sleepy stock. Beside it is roughly how many dollars trade in that stock daily, which is what tells you whether you could get out easily.

Why "roughly": our market-data feed sees only part of the total market tape. The multiple is exact — both halves come from the same feed — but the dollar figure is scaled, so it carries a ~ instead of pretending to a precision we don't have. Prices update live while the market is open, and the header always stamps how fresh they are.

Why the exits matter more than the picks

Beginners don't lose money because their picks are bad — they lose it by having no plan for what happens next. Every DotScoutTM setup ships with the same plan: hold it until the big red dot — the morning the daily gauge turns down from the overheated zone — or until day 126, whichever comes first. There is no stop, by design: on three years of history a 20% stop made the plan worse, because the trades that dipped on the way were the ones that finished green. The risk is handled by size instead — buy an amount where a 30% hole is a shrug. That discipline — not any single pick — is the whole edge.

Down at the check-in is normal. At day 21 the average ride was up about 2% and just over half were green; the rides that were underwater at day 21 still finished green more often than not. The plan asks for patience it has earned in the history, not patience on faith.

The same list for everyone, every day

DotScoutTM is a research publication, not an adviser. Everyone opening the app on the same morning sees the identical report — it is not tailored to you, your account, or your goals, and it never will be. It doesn't know what you own, what you earn, or what you can afford to lose, so it cannot and does not tell you what you should buy. It reports what the data says and shows its working; every decision is yours. We don't answer "what should I buy?" — not in the app, and not by email.

A signal that already had its turn doesn't come back for another: once the system has traded a dot, that dot is finished. A genuinely new signal on the same stock later is a new idea, and is treated as one.

How much money to use

Decide your amount so that a 30% hole costs only what you can shrug off — there is no stop, so the size is the safety. Many people keep any one name to about 10% of their account — with a $5,000 account, that is $500 a name, so a 30% hole is $150 and even a wipe-out is survivable. The worked example on each card shows the math at $1,000 so you can scale it to your own number. Never trade money you may need soon, and practice on a paper (pretend-money) account first.

The honest fine print

What the evidence is — and isn't. The method was built from three years of historical testing across 55,870 signals. You will not find those historical odds printed on the picks, and that is deliberate: a backtest is not a live record, and quoting one on every card dresses research up as results. There is no live performance record here, and none is promised: DotScoutTM is research and education. The odds are shown before the trade, labelled as history; what a pick does afterwards is graded against its plan on My Picks every evening. The honest thing is to show you the reasoning, the odds, the exits — and what kind of market you are in.

Universe: every S&P 500/400 company plus a nightly sweep of liquid US-listed small caps and international names (ADRs included). Stocks trading only on foreign exchanges with no US listing aren't visible to it.

Is this financial advice?

No. DotScoutTM is research and education — the same screening a professional desk does, made readable. It publishes one impersonal report on a schedule, identical for every reader. It is not an investment adviser, is not registered as one, and gives no personal recommendations: it doesn't know your situation and never asks. It shows what the data says, with the evidence attached, and every decision stays yours.

Can it guarantee I make money?

No, and run from anything that says otherwise. An edge means better odds over many trades, not certainty on any single one. Plenty of A-grade setups still lose — the size you buy is what keeps those losses survivable, since the plan has no stop and holds to the big red dot or day 126. Past results never guarantee future returns.

Why show your losing trades?

Because a track record with the losers removed is a lie. Losing picks are graded by the same rules as winners — in My Picks, a pick that fails is graded to its big red dot or its day-126 cap like every other, not quietly forgotten.

What should a beginner do first?

Read this page, watch the app for a week or two without buying anything, then practice the routine on a paper-trading account until the plan feels automatic. Only then use real money, starting small.
