How Setup Detection Decides

The methodology behind the nightly sweep: what it measures, why it runs on daily bars after the close, and what it deliberately does not attempt.

This guide is part of Stock Alerts + Tools.

What Is in This Guide

  • Detection runs on completed daily bars after the close, not intraday.
  • Each setup is expressed as measurable conditions rather than as shape matching.
  • A liquidity floor is applied before anything else is evaluated.
  • Detection identifies conditions; it does not rank, score or predict.
  • Stability and reproducibility are chosen over intraday immediacy.
