What is stock screening?

A stock screener filters a large universe of stocks down to a short list based on rules you define โ€” like momentum, price trend, or sector. TradePilot runs this automatically and ranks the results so you don't have to.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Understanding momentum

Momentum measures how much a stock has moved relative to its recent range. A 52-week momentum of 80% means the stock is near the top of its yearly high-low range โ€” often a sign of sustained buying pressure.

How scores work

Each screened stock receives a score from 0-100 based on a combination of momentum, trend direction, and relative strength. Higher scores reflect stronger alignment with historically profitable conditions.

๐Ÿ“

The 52-week range

The 52-week range shows a stock's lowest and highest price over the past year. When a stock trades near its 52-week high with strong volume, it often signals institutional interest and continued upward momentum.

๐Ÿ”€

What is a Golden Cross?

A Golden Cross occurs when a stock's 50-day moving average crosses above its 200-day moving average. It's widely watched as a long-term bullish signal. TradePilot highlights these automatically for higher tiers.

Why rankings matter

Pro

Ranking stocks relative to each other rather than against a fixed threshold helps surface the strongest opportunities at any market condition. This relative ranking approach is used in quantitative funds and is a core part of TradePilot Pro and above.
