What these signals mean
RSI(14) — Relative Strength Index
Momentum oscillator from 0–100. Classic interpretation: below 30 is oversold (potential bounce), above 70 is overbought (potential cool-off). We calibrate the thresholds per stock using its own 1-year RSI distribution (10th and 90th percentile, clamped). Currently 31.7, below the calibrated oversold threshold of 35.2.
Composite buy / sell score (0–100)
Combines RSI, earnings yield vs Treasury (ERP), P/E percentile vs 5-year range, golden/death cross, distribution days, macro regime flags, and market-cap headroom into a single 0–100 number. We surface a buy candidate at ≥50, strong buy at ≥70, sell at ≥70.
Suggested entry / sell target
Entry = the higher of the 52-week low and -10% from current (we don't ask you to wait for a crash). Sell target = the higher of 52-week high or a 3-year CAGR projection if the stock is in a confirmed uptrend, then capped if the implied market cap would exceed $10T.
Risk rating
Combines annualized volatility, beta vs S&P, and 5-year max drawdown. "Low" stocks have predictable behavior; "Very High" stocks can swing 50%+ in months. Use this to size positions, not as a verdict on whether to own.
