01
Scan the whole watchlist
Every symbol that has ever qualified stays on the list. Each run re-screens the full accumulated watchlist — thousands of names — not just today's movers.
The alpha funnel
Every stock we're watching, re-screened every single day.
An 11-stage research engine turns a growing watchlist into a short, evidence-backed list — Leading Alpha, Early Discovery, Re-accumulation — so you know exactly why a name qualified, not just that it did.

Qualified for Leading Alpha
Qualifying means a stock may be worth further research — not that it will go up or down.
Why this exists
We built an algorithm. Now we're sharing what it finds.
Every day, it runs the complete NASDAQ — roughly 5,000 stocks — through the same technical, fundamental, and stage analysis behind the returns we post. We publish the results here so you can take them further yourself.
How the funnel works
From a whole watchlist to a short, explainable list
02
Score 11 research stages
Liquidity, trend structure, the catalyst behind the move, fundamentals, valuation, and risk are each checked and recorded — so a result is explainable, not a single opaque number.
03
Classify by evidence
Leading Alpha, Early Discovery, Re-accumulation, Speculative. A name's label moves as the evidence moves — the same stock can graduate, or drop back, on the next run.
04
Decide with a full workspace
Entry and exit mapping, intrinsic and relative valuation, full financial statements, and a risk-and-catalyst breakdown turn a classification into an actual plan.

The layer most screeners skip
Timing matters as much as the pick
The same breakout means something different depending on where the overall market sits and where a stock sits in its own price cycle. Alpha Funnel checks both before a single fundamental question gets asked.
1 · Market regime — measured from how many stocks hold above their trend averages
Aggressive
Broad participation across the market. New evidence carries more weight.
Constructive
More stocks holding above their trend averages than not — a reasonable backdrop for new entries.
Cautious
Participation is thinning. Evidence needs to be stronger before it's convincing.
Defensive
Most stocks are below their long-term trend. New entries need to clear a higher bar, or wait.
2 · Each stock's own stage — a four-stage price cycle, not just up or down
Stage 1 · Base
Price is contained and the 200-day trend is flat. A breakout here gets a first watch, not a buy.
Stage 2 · Advance
Price holds above rising 50- and 200-day averages. Continuation setups belong here — the trend is already established.
Stage 3 · Distribution
Still near the highs, but the 50-day average is lost or heavy down-volume is showing up. Evidence needs to get stricter, not looser.
Stage 4 · Decline
Price sits below both averages in a falling trend. The job here is capital protection, not a bargain hunt.
3 · How they combine
A Constructive market plus a stock moving from Stage 1 Base into Stage 2 Advance on a credible catalyst is a reason to investigate a breakout — not a reason to buy automatically. The 11-stage funnel still has to confirm liquidity, growth, valuation, and risk before anything qualifies. A good stage never overrides a hard funnel failure.
What you get on every ticker
Built for the decision, not just the pick
A two-tranche entry plan
Not one target — a first entry, a deeper second entry that needs its own buyer confirmation, an invalidation price built from structural support plus an ATR buffer, and a reward-to-risk ratio for each.
Valuation, two ways
A DCF intrinsic-value estimate sits next to a confidence-scored relative valuation against sector peers, so a rally can be checked against the business and its peer group, not just the chart.
Automatic risk gates
For example: new Alpha entries pause within seven days of earnings and freeze after two recent high-volume down days — the setup holds itself back before you have to catch the problem.
Financial statements, drilled down
Full statement history and analyst estimates are one click away — every number traces back to a source, never just a ratio with nothing behind it.
Risk & catalyst breakdown
Dilution risk, float, short interest, and volatility sit next to the catalyst that triggered the move — what could break the thesis is listed, not buried in fine print.
A model portfolio held to its own standard
Aggressive and balanced paper-trading profiles run against the funnel's own output — a way to see the method graded on what it actually surfaces, not just described.
A real example · AppLovin · February 2024
AppLovin moved fast. The evidence helped explain why.
AppLovin kept running into the same $47 ceiling for months. Earnings on February 14, 2024 changed the picture — price cleared the range on heavier volume, and the fundamentals backed it up: revenue up 36% year over year, $340M in free cash flow.
Before earnings
$38–47 range
A repeated ceiling made the level to clear obvious ahead of time.
The breakout
Feb 16 · +29.2%
Price gapped above the range on heavier trading volume.
Six months later
$85.58 · +42.9%
Measured from the breakout close — a look back, not a live signal.
The part most tools skip
What Alpha Funnel deliberately is not
Not a stock-tip service
The homepage shows the funnel's aggregate results, never a single featured pick. A hero card elevating one ticker is the one thing this product deliberately refuses to be.
Not a black box
Every classification traces back to which of the 11 research checks passed, failed, or is still unresolved — in plain language, not a hidden score.
Not a promise
Qualifying for Leading Alpha means a stock may be worth further research — never a guarantee, and never a signal to buy right now.
Not selling urgency
A breakout is treated as an invitation to investigate, not a reason to rush. The evidence is still there tomorrow.

Questions worth asking
How does the funnel actually work?
Every completed run re-screens the whole accumulated watchlist against the same 11 research stages — liquidity, trend structure, the catalyst behind the move, fundamentals, valuation, and risk — and classifies each name by how much evidence has arrived so far.
Does qualifying for Leading Alpha mean I should buy?
No. Qualifying means a stock met the criteria worth researching further — never a signal to buy, and never a promise of what happens next. Every setup still needs your own entry price, invalidation level, and exit plan.
Do you publish a track record or performance chart?
The funnel itself doesn't market a manufactured performance chart — the case study on this page is a retrospective illustration, not a live signal. What we do disclose plainly is our own trading results, because we trade this method ourselves.
Is this built for beginners or experienced traders?
Either, if you're willing to look at the evidence yourself. There's no guided "buy this now" path — the product's job is to explain why a name qualified; yours is to decide what to do with it.
