Speed Signal AI is screening and analytics software, not a broker-dealer or investment adviser. Scores, phases, and screening results are data outputs and research candidates, not investment advice, recommendations, trading signals, or a buy list. Always do your own research.
What you see

Scores update once per day, after the US market closes. Everything you see reflects the most recent completed trading session, not live intraday prices. The only live element is the candlestick chart on a ticker’s detail page.
The KPI row
Four cards sit above the table and count how many names fall into each group in the current session:| KPI | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Best Today | The session’s highest-Conviction names. |
| Near Trigger | Names trading within about 5% of their trigger level. |
| Early Setups | Names in the Pre-Ignition phase. |
| Confirmed Breakouts | Names trading above their pivot with volume behind the move. |
“Best Today” groups the highest relative Conviction of the session, not an objectively good or recommended list. See Phases & Conviction for why Conviction resets each day.
Filter with the themed chips
A row of eight single-select chips sits above the table. Selecting one narrows the board to that theme; selecting it again clears it. Only one chip is active at a time.| Chip | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Highest Conviction | Names at High Conviction today. |
| New Liftoffs | Names that moved into Liftoff within the last few sessions. |
| Near Pivot | Names trading just below their pivot level. |
| Quiet Accumulation | Coiling names that still rank at Medium or High Conviction. |
| Strong RS | Names with high relative strength versus the market. |
| Low Earnings Risk | Names with no confirmed earnings event on the near horizon. |
| Small/Mid Cap | Smaller companies by market capitalization. |
| Large Cap | Larger companies by market capitalization. |
Advanced Filters
The “Advanced Filters” button, at the end of the chip row, opens a drawer with the deeper controls:- Conviction pills (Low / Medium / High) to keep or hide names by Conviction level.
- Status, Tier (Large / Mid / Small), and Risk Flags pills to include or exclude names by phase, size band, or anomaly.
- A Top N cap that limits the list to the highest-ranked names.
- The eligibility thresholds, each with an inline help icon (see below).
- Clear All to reset every filter.
- A compact comparison table at the bottom of the drawer with tighter columns: Ticker, Conf, Status, Tier, Exchange, Price, Chg %, Vol X, and MCap. Here the Conviction level is shortened to Conf.
There is no sector filter on the Signal Board. Sector context lives on the Daily Brief as the Sector Strength card.
Adjust the eligibility thresholds
Before scoring, every stock must pass a set of coverage filters so the board stays focused on liquid, tradable US equities. In the Advanced Filters drawer you can adjust most of these thresholds yourself, and each field has an inline help icon explaining what it does:| Threshold | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Min Price $ | Minimum stock price, to filter out very low-priced, volatile names. |
| Min Liquidity $M | Minimum average daily dollar-volume, so there is enough trading activity. |
| Min MCap $B | Minimum market capitalization. |
| Max Gap Down % | Disqualifies names that opened far below the prior close. |
| Large-Cap Earnings Cutoff $B | The market-cap line that decides whether a name uses the large-cap or mid-cap pre-earnings window (it is an earnings rule, not a size filter). |
| Mid-Cap Pre-Earnings Days | Excludes mid-caps this many trading days before a confirmed earnings date. |
| Large-Cap Pre-Earnings Days | Excludes large-caps this many trading days before earnings. |
| Post-Earnings Days | Excludes names this many trading days after they reported. |
Why isn’t my ticker here?
If a stock you expect is missing, it usually failed one of the filters above, most often price, liquidity, market cap, or the earnings buffer around a confirmed report date. It may also simply be in the Below phase (not in an active setup right now) rather than filtered out. Loosen the relevant threshold in the Advanced Filters drawer to check.How to read the results
- Lead with the Phase badge (where the setup sits) and the Conviction level (how it ranks today). They are separate axes: a Coiling name can be High Conviction and a Liftoff name can be Low.
- Use the Advanced Filters drawer’s compact table (Conf, Status, Tier, Exchange, Price, Chg %, Vol X, MCap) as extra comparison context, not as a verdict.
- Risk flags such as Extended, Elevated VIX, or Pre-Earnings Run are informational; they do not change the score. See Anomalies.
- Select any row to open its preview panel (a side panel on desktop, a bottom sheet on mobile) with the key facts, then use “View Full Analysis” to open the complete detail page.
Limits & common mistakes
- The board reflects the last completed session. Nothing here updates intraday.
- A high Conviction is relative to today’s pool, not a rating of the company. It can change tomorrow because the market changed, not because the stock did.
- Loosening every threshold widens the list but not its meaning. The filters exist to keep the scan on liquid, tradable names.
- The themed chips are single-select. Only one is active at a time. A Daily Brief drill-down clears the active chip (and vice versa); the Advanced Filters drawer coexists with the active chip.
