Every term below matches a label you'll see in the app. Definitions describe what the tool measures or shows, not what to do with your money. ## Alert An optional notification the app sends when the dashboard changes for the tickers or conditions you chose. Alerts can arrive by email, push, or in-app, and they respect your quiet hours. They are informational, not trade recommendations. See [Alerts](/dashboard/alerts). ## Anomaly A move that falls outside the canonical breakout setup, surfaced in the Anomalies tab. The app labels seven kinds: **ATR Spike**, **Volume Climax**, **MF Divergence**, **Sector Outlier**, **Gap Extreme**, **Pre-Earnings Run**, and **Piotroski Mismatch**. Anomalies are context flags, not scores. See [Anomalies](/dashboard/anomalies). ## Below A [Phase](#phase) label meaning a ticker is not in any active setup phase right now: it does not currently meet the setup criteria. In the dashboard tables this phase is shown as **"No Setup"**. ## Coiling A [Phase](#phase) label for compressed volatility and tight price action that meet the model's base-formation criteria. An early stage where a quiet base is building. ## Conviction How a ticker's 0–100 number ranks against the rest of the market in the same session, grouped as **Low**, **Medium**, or **High**. On a ticker's detail page it appears as **Conviction NN/100** plus the level; in tables it sits under the **Conviction** column (shortened to **Conf** in the Advanced Filters drawer table and the Anomalies table). Conviction is relative and resets every day. See [Phases & Conviction](/scores/phases-and-conviction). ## Daily Brief The home view of the dashboard. It opens with a **Market Snapshot** (an overall regime read plus four clickable KPIs: New Liftoffs, Pre-Ignition Upgrades, Near Pivot, and Failed Setups), then a **Top 10 Daily Setups** table, a short **Signal Story** summary, **Sector Strength**, and a **Recent Setups** list. See [Daily Brief](/dashboard/daily-brief). ## Eligibility The set of coverage filters a ticker must pass before it is scored: price, liquidity, market cap, free float, trend, gap, and an earnings buffer. See [Data & coverage](/scores/data-coverage). ## Liftoff A [Phase](#phase) label for the strongest active phase, where price and participation conditions are most aligned in the data for this methodology. ## Phase The label that describes where a ticker sits in the life cycle of a breakout setup. Every ticker has exactly one: * **Coiling**: compressed volatility and tight price action; an early base. * **Pre-Ignition**: momentum and accumulation conditions starting to show in the data. * **Liftoff**: the strongest active phase, where conditions are most aligned. * **Below**: not in any active setup phase right now. Phase is a separate axis from [Conviction](#conviction). See [Phases & Conviction](/scores/phases-and-conviction). ## Pillar One of the three groups of conditions the model scores: **Base "Stealth Coil"**, **Accumulation "Demand Profile"**, and **Ignition "Participation Expansion"**. Each is scored 0–100, and the three combine into the single number the app shows as Conviction. See [How scoring works](/scores/how-scoring-works). ## Pivot A technical reference level a setup is built around, roughly the breakout point the model watches. On a ticker's detail page it anchors related reference levels such as the breakout range. The pivot is descriptive context for your own analysis, not an instruction to buy, sell, or place an order. ## Pre-Ignition A [Phase](#phase) label meaning momentum and accumulation conditions are starting to show up in the data. An earlier-stage candidate. ## Reference levels Descriptive price points the methodology computes the same way for every ticker so setups can be compared on a common footing: the [Pivot](#pivot), **Trigger**, **Risk Stop**, **Invalidation**, **Breakout Range**, **Price Target**, and **R:R Ratio**. They describe the geometry of the tracked pattern and are reference data only, not stop-loss orders, price forecasts, entry or exit signals, position sizing, or a recommendation to act. See [Ticker detail](/dashboard/ticker-detail). ## Risk flag A context label that highlights a condition worth knowing, for example **Extended**, **Bearish Market Regime**, **Elevated VIX**, or **Pre-Earnings Run**. Risk flags do not change the 0–100 number; they add context to read alongside it. See [Phases & Conviction](/scores/phases-and-conviction). ## Sector Strength A section of the Daily Brief that shows how the market's sectors are performing relative to each other, as context for where setups are clustering. See [Daily Brief](/dashboard/daily-brief). ## Setup A recurring technical pattern where a stock has been quietly compressing and then starts to expand. Speed Signal AI organizes tickers by the state of their setup. A setup is context to research, not a forecast that a move will continue. ## Signal A ticker that met the model's screening criteria on a given day: a research result, not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold. ## Watchlist Your personal list of tickers to track over time. It starts empty; you add the names you want to follow, and the app shows how it classifies them each day. See [Watchlist](/dashboard/watchlist). ## Next steps The three pillars behind the 0–100 number. How phases and Conviction levels work together.
