Scores describe how a move is set up (volume, catalyst, VWAP/high hold, trend, dilution risk). They are research signals, not recommendations.

How the score works

Every pre-market, regular-session and after-hours gainer of at least +5% across NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE American (small and micro caps included) gets a continuation score from 0 to 100. The points come from:

Calibrated on daily history (75 points): relative volume, time-of-day adjusted (15); dollar volume (10); move size, where moves above +100% are treated as extended (5); holding the move, meaning VWAP (8), distance from the high of day (12) and holding the gap or open (5); trend, meaning 50- and 200-day averages, 52-week high and a 20-day breakout (15); and SPY/sector tape (5).

Judgmental (25 points): real catalyst in the last 24 hours (15). An 8-K, earnings, FDA news or a deal counts as real; market-move recaps and soft PR don't. Size and float (10).

Risk deductions: an offering on file (S-1, F-1 or S-3 shelf) or a recent prospectus; new shares issued (8-K 3.02); a reverse split in the last 12 months; trading under $1; a listing deficiency notice; a late filer or restatement; under 12 months of cash; and float rotation above 20x. LULD halts are shown.

The squeeze score uses short % of float, days to cover, the short-interest change since the prior report, float size, and price/volume ignition. Short interest is FINRA's bi-monthly report, about 2 weeks old. Borrow fee and utilization aren't available from free sources.

Backtest (2016-01-04 to 2026-10-19, 123,569 gap-up/gainer days across 4,787 stocks): across all events, 43% closed higher the next day and 43% were higher 5 days later. Low bucket: 37% / 35% (n=36,613). Mid bucket: 44% / 44% (n=30,546). High bucket: 46% / 47% (n=28,938). Top bucket: 48% / 49% (n=27,472). Short interest (FINRA, point in time, since 2018): gainers with 5+ days to cover closed higher the next day 46% of the time (n=36,205), against 40% under 2 days (n=31,742). That's a modest edge, and adding price/volume ignition didn't improve it. The universe is today's listed survivors, which flatters small-cap results. Intraday factors are tested through daily-bar proxies.

These are research signals that describe a setup. They are not recommendations to buy or sell.
