1 — What is NeuralStocks?
NeuralStocks is an AI-powered stock screener built specifically for short-term swing trading. It continuously monitors all S&P 500 stocks and surfaces the three setups with the strongest momentum at any given time — with a defined entry, stop-loss, and two profit targets for a 0–5 day hold period.
The system runs on a 15-minute cycle during market hours. Every cycle it evaluates all tickers across multiple dimensions — price momentum, volume behavior, volatility, and AI-driven news sentiment — and presents the strongest overall setups based on signal quality and market context.
NeuralStocks screens all ~500 S&P 500 constituents every 15 minutes using 15-min OHLCV data — the broadest and most liquid universe for US momentum trading.
Manual stock screening is slow, inconsistent, and limited by the number of charts a trader can review. NeuralStocks runs a fully automated, AI-calibrated multi-factor scoring engine across all S&P 500 stocks simultaneously, applies NLP news sentiment analysis as a contextual filter, and updates on every 15-minute bar. The result: you see only the setups that score highest right now — with all the supporting data already surfaced.
- Momentum scoring: RSI, MACD histogram, ATR slope, volume delta, Bollinger Band distance — combined into a single composite AI score
- NLP news sentiment filter: Financial news is analyzed by a large language model trained on financial text; negative-sentiment stocks are automatically excluded from the Top 3 — how it works →
- Volatility-based SL/TP levels: Stop-loss and profit targets are calculated from each stock's Daily ATR — scaled to its actual volatility, not fixed percentages
- Market Regime engine: Five market-wide dimensions (VIX, trend, breadth, momentum, credit spreads) determine whether conditions favor momentum trades at all
- Order flow analysis: VWAP distance, buying pressure, and cumulative delta give entry timing context beyond the score
- Full performance history: Every signal ever generated is publicly visible with D1–D5 forward returns, max gain, and exit outcome — fully auditable track record
2 — Trading Decision — When to Trade
Before looking at individual signals, always check the Trading Decision panel at the top of the dashboard. This is the single most important filter in the whole system.
The regime engine aggregates five market-wide conditions and maps them to one of four verdicts:
Each dimension is individually assessed and combined into a unified regime assessment. VIX direction independently contributes to the overall score — a shifting volatility environment carries signal value even before the raw level changes significantly.
| Verdict | What It Means | Signal Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| TRADE | Conditions are broadly constructive — upside momentum, manageable volatility, healthy breadth. | Signals assessed at standard scoring thresholds. |
| EARLY RECOVERY | Market is stabilising after a pullback — some signals are turning positive but conditions aren't yet fully confirmed. | Signal conditions improving — each setup assessed individually against tightened criteria. |
| SELECTIVE | Mixed conditions. Elevated uncertainty with no clear directional edge. | Only highest-scoring signals qualify — fewer signals pass the filters. |
| NO TRADE | Risk-off. High volatility, broken trend, or poor breadth. | Signal output is reduced. System monitors for regime recovery. |
The regime panel also shows the current status of the NYSE (09:30–16:00 ET). The display updates on every page load and shows whether the market is open, in pre-market, after-hours, or closed for the weekend, along with the time remaining until open or close.
2b — Market Overview
The Market Overview panel sits below the Trading Decision and provides four independent views of the broader macro environment. None of these directly influence signal scoring — they give context for understanding which parts of the market are leading or lagging, and whether the current regime is supported by consistent macro conditions.
Shows 1-day, 5-day, and 1-month returns for all 11 S&P 500 sectors, sorted by today's flow from strongest to weakest. The Flowing in chips highlight the three sectors with the highest 1-day gain; Flowing out shows the three with the largest 1-day decline.
Click any sector row to expand the top 3 winners and bottom 3 laggards within that sector for the day — useful for quickly identifying which specific stocks are driving the sector move.
Compares performance of Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap indices over the same 1d / 5d / 1m timeframes, sorted by today's return.
Tracks 1-day and 5-day returns for three classic safe haven assets: Gold, Long-Term Government Bonds, and the US Dollar index.
When safe havens are rising alongside falling equities, institutional capital is actively rotating out of risk assets. When safe havens fall alongside rising equities, the risk-on signal is more genuine — capital isn't just rotating between asset classes.
Shows the spread between the 10-year Treasury yield and the 3-month T-bill yield.
| Shape | Spread | What it typically means |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Positive (+) | Long-term rates higher than short-term — the standard baseline. Healthy economic expectations. |
| Inverted | Negative (−) | Short-term rates exceed long-term — historically one of the most reliable recession indicators, typically 6–18 months in advance. |
The direction indicator (steepening / flattening) shows whether the spread is widening or narrowing over the past week — useful for identifying turning points before the shape fully flips.
Signal Quality Filters
Beyond the regime score, two automatic filters refine which candidates make it into the Top 3. Both are visible as small badges on each signal card.
Stocks with earnings reports in close proximity are automatically excluded from the Top 3. Holding a position through an earnings announcement introduces binary gap risk that is incompatible with the system's short-term swing strategy.
Stocks with earnings slightly further out are not excluded but receive a score adjustment due to elevated event risk and display an amber badge (⚑ Earnings in Nd). Signals that clear the filter entirely show no badge.
| Earnings Proximity | Action | Display |
|---|---|---|
| Imminent | Signal excluded entirely | Never shown |
| Near-term | Score adjusted downward | Amber badge: ⚑ Earnings in Nd |
| Not a factor | No change | No badge |
For US signals, each candidate's recent return is compared against the broader market. Stocks that are outperforming tend to continue outperforming over short timeframes — this is the relative strength effect in momentum trading.
| RS vs SPY | Score Adjustment | Badge |
|---|---|---|
| Outperforming | Positive adjustment | RS vs SPY: +X.X% |
| In line with market | No change | RS vs SPY: ±X.X% |
| Underperforming | Negative adjustment | RS vs SPY: −X.X% |
3 — Reading the Active Signals
The dashboard shows the three most recent valid signals. Each is a card with a five-tab interface. The header gives the quick summary:
| Element | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Ticker + Company | Stock symbol and full company name. |
| Sentiment Pill | AI-assessed news sentiment at signal time: Positive Neutral. Signals with negative sentiment are filtered out before selection. |
| Timestamp | When the signal was generated (UTC). Helps judge whether price has moved significantly since entry. |
| Entry Price | The reference price at signal generation — not an order fill. |
| Max Gain | Highest percentage gain observed since the signal was generated. Updated in real time. |
| SL / TP1 / TP2 | SL = Stop-Loss TP1 = first profit target TP2 = full target. Dynamically calculated from each stock's Daily ATR — wider for volatile stocks, tighter for calm ones. The percentage next to each price shows the distance from entry. These are reference levels — adjust them at your broker to fit your risk tolerance. |
| Trade Status | Swing Trade Active — the trade window is still open (up to 5 trading days). Swing Trade Closed — the window has closed (target hit, stop-loss, or max hold time reached). |
Below the risk/target tags, each card has a small chart showing D1–D5 daily performance bars plus a line for cumulative price movement relative to entry. SL, TP1, and TP2 are overlaid as dashed reference lines. This gives you an instant visual read on how the setup has evolved since signal generation.
Below the SL/TP tags on every live signal card, a small slider lets you scale the stop-loss and profit targets proportionally. Drag left to preview a tighter risk profile (e.g. 0.75×), drag right for a wider one (e.g. 1.25×). All three levels and the chart reference lines update instantly. This is a display-only tool — it does not affect signal generation, scoring, or any stored data.
4 — Signal Tab — Score & Indicators
The Signal tab evaluates the individual scoring components that made this stock rank in the top 3.
5 — Order Flow Tab — Buying Pressure & Delta
The Order Flow tab evaluates who is currently in control — buyers or sellers — and whether price moves are supported by real demand. This is the most actionable tab for timing entries.
Where the current price sits relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the last 20 candles.
| Reading | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Positive (above VWAP) | Buyers in control. The average participant is profitable — reduces selling pressure. Higher follow-through probability. |
| Near zero | Balanced. Often a decision point — watch for a directional break. |
| Negative (below VWAP) | Sellers in control. Be cautious entering long signals trading below their intraday VWAP. |
Where each candle closes within its high-low range, averaged over recent bars (0–100%).
| Zone | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ≥ 60% | Candles closing in upper half of range. Buyers absorbing every pullback — strong directional commitment. |
| 40–60% | Mixed. No clear bias. Watch for resolution. |
| ≤ 40% | Candles closing in lower half. Sellers taking over — distribution pattern. |
Net buying vs. selling pressure over the last 10 candles — the running score of the buyer/seller battle.
- Positive / green: Sustained net buying. Supports the upside case.
- Negative / red: Net selling despite a price up-move. This divergence is a warning — the move may lack genuine demand and could reverse.
The Delta Bar Chart shows the last 10 candles as green (net buying) or red (net selling) bars. 7–8 green bars suggests sustained accumulation; alternating colors = indecision.
6 — Full Chart Tab — Technical Analysis
Interactive multi-panel chart with 5d / 1m / 3m range selectors and an ↕ Invert button.
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 5d | Last 5 trading days — intraday structure, recent supply/demand zones. |
| 1m | Last month — broader trend context and swing highs/lows. |
| 3m | Last 3 months (default) — full setup context including Bollinger Band position. |
| ↕ Invert | Flips the price axis upside down. Useful for viewing the chart from a short-seller's perspective — a downtrend becomes visually a breakout pattern, making it easier to assess the directional strength of a move against a long signal. |
Candlestick chart with Bollinger Bands. Entry, SL, TP1, and TP2 are shown as dashed lines so you can instantly see where the stock trades relative to your reference levels.
| BB Zone | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Near lower band | Statistically cheap relative to recent volatility. Strong long setups often begin near the lower band. |
| Crossing middle band (20 SMA) upward | Classic momentum entry zone — trend shifting up with room to run to the upper band. |
| Near/above upper band | Extended. Can continue in strong trends ("riding the upper band"), but mean-reversion risk increases. Consider partial profit near TP1. |
| Band squeeze (narrow bands) | Low-volatility consolidation — often precedes a sharp directional move. A breakout from a squeeze with high volume is a high-conviction setup. |
- High volume on up candles: Buying conviction — institutional participation.
- High volume on down candles: Selling pressure or distribution — potential headwind.
- Volume spike on breakout: Confirms the move. The single most reliable volume signal.
- Declining volume into consolidation: Normal, healthy pause before continuation.
| Indicator | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| RSI (orange) | Target entry in 55–72. RSI crossing 50 upward = early momentum signal. Above 75 = potential exhaustion. RSI divergence (price new high, RSI lower) is a warning. |
| MACD Histogram (bars) | Growing positive bars = accelerating momentum. Shrinking positive bars = topping. Cross from negative to positive = early trend change. Best entries: histogram positive and growing. |
7 — How to Use NeuralStocks for Swing Trades
NeuralStocks narrows 500 stocks to 3 high-probability setups and gives you the data to make an informed decision. A practical decision process:
- Check the Market Regime. NO TRADE = signal output is reduced. SELECTIVE = stricter scoring thresholds apply. More signals qualify in TRADE or strong SELECTIVE regimes.
- Scan the three signal cards. Check sentiment and the performance chart. Is the stock still near Entry, or has it already moved significantly? Far above Entry = less favorable risk/reward.
- Open the Signal tab. Score strong? RSI 55–72? MACD positive? Volume Δ elevated? Rank the three signals — focus on the cleanest profile.
- Check the Order Flow tab. VWAP positive? Buying Pressure ≥ 60%? Delta green? Order flow confirms or denies what the score suggests. High score + negative order flow = flag.
- Open the Full Chart. Price above 20 SMA? Recent breakout with volume? RSI rising through 55–60? Are you buying strength or chasing an extended move?
- Read the AI Analysis tab. Plain-language summary of technical and sentiment picture. Use as a sanity check.
- Define your trade. Use the signal's SL as your risk reference. Size so that the SL represents an acceptable loss for your account — many traders target 0.5%–1% account risk per trade.
- Monitor via Signal History. After entering, track D1–D5 performance in the history table. The exit status shows whether TP1, TP2, SL, or a timed exit was eventually reached.
| Level | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| SL | Hard stop reference. Price at SL = thesis invalidated. Exit in full or tighten stop before this level. Never move stops further away to "give it more room." |
| TP1 | First profit target. When TP1 is reached, the standard approach is to trail the stop to break-even — protecting the position at no risk while giving it room to reach TP2. |
| TP2 | Full target. Remaining position runs to TP2 or until the system's time-based exit — whichever comes first. |
8 — Options Tab — Call Suitability Analysis
The Options tab answers a specific question: "Is this signal also a good candidate for a call option trade, or is the stock itself the better vehicle?"
A stock can be a valid long setup and still be a poor options trade — due to timing, extension, volatility costs, or market regime. The Options tab evaluates this as a separate layer without changing the signal generation or ranking logic.
Each signal receives a Call Score from 0 to 100, computed from five factors. The score drives a three-way decision:
| Decision | Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Call Conditions Met | ≥ 70 | Conditions are sufficiently supportive for call options to be a reasonable vehicle alongside or instead of the stock. |
| Stock Preferred | 50–69 | The setup may be valid, but option timing is less favourable. The stock itself offers better risk/reward than leveraged exposure right now. |
| No Leverage | < 50 | Market and setup conditions do not support leveraged trades. Avoid options entirely for this signal. |
Every factor is scored on a continuous scale, not just on/off. This means the bars reflect actual conditions, not just whether a threshold was crossed.
| Factor | Max | What it measures & how it's scored |
|---|---|---|
| Market Regime | 30 pts |
Combines the macro verdict with the actual VIX level — because TRADE mode at VIX 14 is very different from TRADE mode at VIX 28.
TRADE + VIX < 18: 30 — Ideal. Low volatility, trend confirmed. TRADE + VIX 18–24: 25 — Supportive. Normal conditions. TRADE + VIX 24–30: 16 — High VIX. Options are getting expensive. TRADE + VIX ≥ 30: 8 — Very High VIX. Premiums elevated, caution required. EARLY RECOVERY: 15 — Market stabilising, not yet confirmed uptrend. SELECTIVE: 8 — Mixed conditions, elevated risk for leveraged trades. NO TRADE: 0 — Hard block. No call positions regardless of other factors. |
| Signal Freshness | 25 pts |
Two dimensions: how far price has moved from the entry level, and how old the signal is. An option loses value over time (theta decay) — entering an old signal means paying for time that has already elapsed.
Extended (> 3% from entry): 0 — Too far gone. Option entry timing is poor. Slightly Extended (1.5–3%): 5 — Limited room; stock preferred. Within range + < 6h old: 25 — Just Entered. Ideal timing. Within range + 6–24h old: 18 — Fresh. Still a good window. Within range + 1–3 days old: 10 — Active. Entering late; reduce size. Within range + > 3 days old: 4 — Ageing. Most of the time value opportunity has passed. |
| Momentum Quality | 20 pts |
Four sub-signals, each scored by magnitude — not just positive/negative. Strong momentum reduces the probability of the move stalling while the option decays.
Momentum slope (0–8 pts): The rate of change in the composite momentum signal. Strong upward slope (+0.02) = 8 pts. Mild positive = 3–5 pts. Flat or negative = 0. MACD histogram (0–6 pts): Positive histogram = price momentum confirmed by MACD crossover. 6 pts if positive, 0 if negative. Volume surge (0–4 pts): Above-average volume confirms the move has institutional backing. > 50% above average = 4 pts. 15–50% above = 2 pts. ATR slope (0–2 pts): Expanding Average True Range signals that volatility is building into the move rather than contracting. 2 pts if positive. |
| Volatility Environment | 15 pts |
Uses the live VIX level directly. VIX drives implied volatility (IV) across the market — low VIX means options are cheap to buy; high VIX means you pay a large premium and can still lose money even if the stock moves in the right direction (IV crush after a spike).
VIX < 16: 15 — Ideal. Options are inexpensive relative to expected moves. VIX 16–20: 12 — Low. Good conditions for directional calls. VIX 20–25: 7 — Moderate. Premium is acceptable; size accordingly. VIX 25–30: 3 — Elevated. Options expensive; reduce size. VIX ≥ 30: 0 — High Risk. IV crush potential too high for long calls. |
| TP1 Range | 10 pts |
TP1 is set at 0.5× the daily ATR from the entry price. A wider TP1 means more room for the option to gain intrinsic value before the position is evaluated — tight targets leave very little margin for the option to be in-the-money before time works against you.
> 2.5% to TP1: 10 — Wide. Plenty of room. 1.5–2.5%: 7 — Good. Standard conditions. 0.8–1.5%: 4 — Moderate. Workable with tight strike selection. < 0.8%: 1 — Tight. Very limited move needed to just break even on the option. |
When the decision is Call Conditions Met, the tab also shows structural guidance for selecting an appropriate contract. These are not specific contract recommendations — they are directional guidelines based on the current signal conditions.
| Characteristic | Options | Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Strike | Slight ITM / At-the-Money | Fresh setup (signal < 24h) with strong momentum (quality ≥ 14/20) → slight ITM, 1–2 strikes below current price. Higher delta captures more of the move with less theta drag. Otherwise ATM for balanced delta and liquidity. OTM calls are not recommended for a 3–5 day swing trade — they need too large a move to be profitable. |
| Expiry | 14–21 days / 21–28 days | NeuralStocks signals have a 3–5 day trade window. The expiry recommendation adds a buffer above that. Strong fresh setup → 2 weeks is sufficient. Moderate conditions or ageing signal → 3–4 weeks gives the trade more breathing room. Never use weeklies (0–7 DTE) — theta decay is too aggressive for a setup that may need 2–3 days to develop. |
| Premium | Favourable / Moderate / Elevated | Driven directly by the VIX level. VIX < 20 = Favourable (options competitively priced). VIX 20–25 = Moderate (standard sizing). VIX ≥ 25 = Elevated (size down or wait for IV contraction). This matches the Volatility Environment factor so there are no contradictions between score and guidance. |
A small badge on each signal card gives you the call decision at a glance — without having to open the Options tab:
| Call Conditions Met | All key conditions are met. Call options are a reasonable vehicle for this signal. |
| Stock Preferred | Valid setup, but option conditions are less favourable. Direct equity exposure is assessed as the lower-risk vehicle. |
| No Leverage | Options conditions are not met. Leveraged exposure is not supported for this signal. |
9 — Performance Tracking & Exit Framework
NeuralStocks tracks how real market prices evolved after each signal was generated. This is not a backtest with simulated executions — it uses actual observed prices.
- Percentage change at the close of each of the 5 trading days after the signal (D1–D5)
- Maximum price reached at any point during the 5-day window
- Maximum percentage gain relative to Entry Price
- Date and time when the maximum gain was observed
A rule-based exit framework enables consistent, unbiased comparison across all signals. All time-based exits happen at end of trading day — only trading days count, weekends are skipped. Entry day = Day 1; Friday entry → Monday = Day 2 → Tuesday = Day 3.
| Condition | Outcome |
|---|---|
| TP2 price is reached | Full target hit. Managed exit at TP2. TP2 ✓ |
| TP1 reached, TP2 not reached within the hold window | TP1 hit — stop moved to break-even. Managed exit at end of Day 5. Day 5 |
| TP1 not reached by end of Day 3 | No target reached — managed exit at Day 3 close to protect capital. Day 3 |
| SL price is reached | Stop-loss triggered — managed exit that caps downside. SL |
| KPI | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Data Age | How recently signals were updated. Green = fresh (<20 min). Important during volatile sessions — stale data is less actionable. |
| Avg Max Gain | Average ceiling the system tends to reach. Use to calibrate TP expectations. |
| Win Rate | Percentage of signals where the stock moved above the entry price at any point within the 5-day window (gain > 0%). Shows how often the direction was right. |
| TP1 Hit Rate | Percentage of signals that reached the first profit target or better — includes all TP1, TP2, and Day 5 exits. Since TP2 requires passing TP1 first, this is the umbrella target metric. |
| TP2 Hit Rate | Percentage of signals that reached the full profit target. A subset of TP1 Hit Rate — every TP2 also counts as a TP1. |
| SL Protected Rate | Percentage of signals where the stop-loss was triggered — a managed exit that caps downside before it escalates. No price target was reached in these cases. |
| Day 3 Exit Rate | Signals where no target was reached by end of Day 3 — closed as a managed capital protection measure. Outcome is typically flat or a small move from entry. |
| Day 5 Exit Rate | Signals where TP1 was hit (stop at break-even) but TP2 was not reached — closed as a managed exit at end of Day 5. Outcome typically between 0% and TP2. |
10 — Signal History & Track Record
The Signal History is the full archive of every signal ever generated. Use it to:
- Verify the track record of a specific ticker before acting on a current signal in that stock
- Study which setup types (high vs. low RSI, positive vs. neutral sentiment) performed best historically
- Understand typical signal behavior per day — is most of the move on D1, or does it develop over D2–D3?
- Audit any individual signal via the "+" expand button for the full performance chart, chart tab, and exit details
Use the search box to filter by ticker — the × button on the right clears the filter instantly. Use the page size selector to load more signals for pattern research.
Each ticker name may show a small ×N badge indicating how many times that stock has appeared in the Top 3 across all history. A gray badge (×2–×3) marks a repeat pick; a yellow badge (×4–×7) signals a recurring trend with sustained momentum; an orange badge (×8 or more) signals a strong, long-running trend — worth extra attention when the stock appears again. Click any ×N badge to instantly filter the table to that ticker. Click again to clear, or use the × button in the search field. This lets you quickly see all past appearances of a stock and assess whether the current setup fits into a larger momentum trend.
Some live signals may also show an orange ⚛ Exit Alert badge. This means the system's momentum model detected a significant score degradation for that signal while it was still in profit: the momentum score dropped below 70 % of its entry value, the MACD histogram turned negative, and the position was still at least +0.5 % above entry at the time of detection. This is an experimental feature — treat it as a prompt to review the trade manually, not as an automated exit instruction. Expand the row with the + button to see the full signal card and current indicator readings.
Click the + button on any history row to expand it into a full signal card. What you see depends on the signal status:
| Signal Status | What the expanded card shows |
|---|---|
| LIVE (blue left border) | Live signal card with real-time price, Order Flow tab, Analysis tab, and Full Chart tab — identical to the Current Signals section. |
| Closed / historical | Signal tab with score & indicators, Analysis tab, and a Full Chart tab showing up to 3 months of price history — candlestick chart with Bollinger Bands, Volume, RSI, and MACD. Entry, SL, TP1, and TP2 are overlaid as dashed lines so you can see exactly where the stock moved relative to the trade levels after signal generation. |
11 — Frequently Asked Questions
A signal is a stock that ranked in the top 3 from the entire screened universe based on a composite momentum score at a specific point in time. It comes with a reference Entry Price and pre-calculated SL, TP1, and TP2 levels. Think of it as a screened setup delivered to you — a starting point for your own analysis, not a trade order.
More signals mean more noise. NeuralStocks is designed around the idea that one well-analyzed trade is worth more than ten half-researched ones. Showing only the top 3 forces selectivity and keeps the track record clean and comparable. When a new signal is generated, the oldest is retired into Signal History — where it remains fully visible.
Check three things: (1) how much the stock has moved relative to Entry (see Max Gain and the performance chart), (2) where it sits on the Full Chart relative to BB levels and SL/TP lines, and (3) whether Order Flow still shows buying pressure. If price already tagged TP1, the easy money may be gone. Still near Entry with strong order flow? The setup remains relevant.
Positive = news backdrop is supportive at signal time. Neutral = no strong directional sentiment detected. Stocks with negative AI sentiment are filtered out entirely before selection — so a Negative pill will never appear on a signal.
Covers: why general-purpose NLP underperforms on financial text · phrase-level vs. document-level sentiment · how the sentiment layer integrates into the 15-minute scoring pipeline · what the model reads and its limitations.
TRADE. In this state, broad market conditions are constructive — trend is up, breadth is healthy, volatility is manageable. In SELECTIVE, only the highest-scoring signals qualify. In NO TRADE, signal output is reduced.
Bearish divergence. Price rising while delta is negative means the move is happening on net selling pressure — potentially short-covering or thin liquidity, not genuine buying. This type of move is more likely to reverse. Wait for delta to turn positive before entering, or skip the signal.
TP1 is the first price objective. When it is reached, the typical approach is to trail your stop to break-even — protecting the trade at no risk while letting it run toward TP2. If TP2 is not reached within the 5-day window, the system closes the position at the end of Day 5. If TP1 is not reached by end of Day 3, the system exits early. Optional for broker automation: some traders additionally take partial profits at TP1 (e.g. sell half the position) — this is a valid risk-management technique but is not the default signal logic shown on the dashboard.
No. NeuralStocks generates analytical reference points and tracks how real market prices evolved afterward. No orders are placed on your behalf. Your broker account is never accessed.
No. A traditional backtest applies a strategy to historical data. NeuralStocks generates signals in real time and then observes actual market prices going forward. The track record reflects real price behavior after real signal generation — no look-ahead bias, no simulated fills.
No. The model continuously adapts to changing market conditions, meaning factor influence is not static. A factor that is highly predictive in a trending market may carry less weight during high-volatility or range-bound periods. This is by design — a fixed-weight model breaks down precisely when market conditions shift.
No. NeuralStocks is an analytical tool to support your own research and decision-making. Nothing on this platform constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any security. All trading involves risk. Past signal performance does not guarantee future results.
SL, TP1, and TP2 are derived from each stock's Daily ATR (Average True Range over 14 days) — a volatility measure that reflects how much the stock typically moves in a full trading day. The multipliers are applied at signal time: SL is placed below entry by a fixed ATR multiple, TP1 and TP2 above entry by their respective multiples. This means a volatile stock like a semiconductor name gets wider levels than a low-beta utility — appropriately sized to its actual behavior, not a one-size-fits-all percentage.

Each notification contains the ticker, entry price, stop-loss, and both profit targets so you can evaluate the setup immediately.
NeuralStocks sends five distinct notification types, each covering a different phase of the trade lifecycle:
| Notification | Trigger | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| New Signal | A new top-3 pick is published | Review the signal — ticker, entry price, SL, TP1, and TP2 are in the message |
| TP1 Reached | Price hits the first profit target | Consider moving your stop-loss to break-even (entry price) and optionally reducing position size — this locks in profit while keeping exposure open toward TP2 |
| TP2 Reached — Full Exit | Price hits the second profit target | Full exit level reached — consider closing the remaining position |
| Day 3 Exit | Signal held 3 trading days without reaching TP1 | The setup has not moved toward its first target within the expected window — consider closing to redeploy capital into the current top signals |
| Day 5 Exit | Signal held 5 trading days without reaching TP1 | Maximum holding period reached without hitting TP1 — exit the position |
A sixth notification — the Exit Signal — fires when the momentum score of an open position drops significantly while MACD turns negative and the position is still in profit. This is a model-generated early-exit suggestion, not a hard rule, and is marked as experimental.
After subscribing, your notification access details are included in your welcome email. Install the messaging app on your phone (available for iOS and Android), follow the join link, and you will receive all future signals automatically. No configuration needed beyond the initial setup.
