The same rules, for every stock, every day.

1. What we scan

About 2,000 US stocks listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq. For the daily picks, a company must be worth $2 billion or more, trade at least $20 million a day and cost $5 or more. Day trades need bigger, busier stocks: $10 billion or more, $100 million a day, and a normal daily swing of 2% or more. Search also covers companies from $300 million, marked Small company.

2. The checks

Each stock gets the same checklist for each style: is the trend pointing up, has a clear setup formed, is trading normal or busier, is the price near a sensible buy zone, and does a confirming signal agree. Day trades need two different confirming signals. Swing and long term also check that the market is not falling hard; day trades need at least half the market in an uptrend.

Each card also shows an entry timing read from three daily indicators: trend strength (ADX 14: under 20 is choppy, 25 or more is a strong trend), RSI 14 (above 70 is overbought and chasing risk; 45 to 65 is healthy), and a volume reclaim (back above the 20-day or 50-day average on 1.2x normal volume or more). Timing helps you choose the moment; it never changes the label.

We also measure how far each stock sits below its 1-month, 3-month and 1-year highs. Green means 50% or more below, yellow 20 to 50%, orange less than 20%. Deep drops that start to turn up feed the long-term rebound list and the dip board.

3. What the labels mean

• ✓ Buy setup Every check passed. We show the price range to buy near and the price where the idea is wrong.
• ○ Wait Not ready yet. We show the first thing it is waiting for; other checks may also still need to pass.
• × Skip for now The checks argue against it today. It stays searchable so you can see why.
• ↻ Recheck The prices are old. Wait for a fresh update before acting.

Long-term picks are one of two kinds: a steady grower (a large company up 10% or more in a year, above its 200-day average, and not much jumpier than the market) or a rebound (40% or more below its high, with the trend turning back up).

4. When lists refresh

Every few minutes while the market is open. After the close, the lists are based on that day's closing prices and stay put until the next open. Each list shows when it was last updated.

5. What we never do

We never tell one member something different from another, never promise a result, never pick penny stocks, and never hide a Wait day behind a Buy label. A stock shows up in only one style a day, so you never get two answers for the same name.

Data

Prices may be delayed. Always check the live price with your broker before you trade.

Limits: we do not check earnings dates, news, economic releases or minute-by-minute intraday patterns. A check with missing data never counts as passed, and a stock's place in a list is not a chance of profit.

Rules changes

1. Sep 27, 2026 · Entry timing. Every card shows trend strength (ADX), RSI and a volume reclaim, read together as Good timing, Stretched, Choppy or Trend is down. Labels are unchanged. Day trading is marked for experienced traders; new investors start with swing or long term.
2. Sep 26, 2026 · Rules v7. Swing and long-term Buy setups now need one confirming signal and normal trading (day trades still need two signals and 1.5x trading). Market direction still has to line up; sector and volatility now rank picks instead of blocking them. Long-term picks follow the steady-grower and rebound rules above. Each style shows its top 10, one stock per style, at most 2 from any sector.
3. Sep 25, 2026 · Rules v6. A Buy setup needs two different kinds of signal.
