About The Alpha Ledger

The Alpha Ledger is a nightly stock research brief. After the market closes, it screens actively traded stocks and ranks the clearest setups for the next session.

The goal is simple. Help traders focus their research on a smaller group of stocks.

How the Ledger works

The screening process reviews five factors.

• Price action: how a stock moves over time.

• Trading volume: how many shares change hands.

• Volatility: how sharply the price moves.

• Chart structure: the pattern formed by price and volume.

• Risk and reward balance: how much could be gained compared with how much could be lost.

The Ledger usually lists 8 to 15 stocks when enough names meet the rules. The list may be shorter when market conditions are weak.

What the rankings mean

Each setup receives a conviction rank. Conviction measures how well the setup meets the screening rules. A higher rank does not mean that a trade will work.

Why a stock may leave the Ledger

A stock may leave for three reasons.

• Its move has advanced beyond the early stage.

• Its price action, volume, or volatility has weakened.

• Another stock now ranks higher.

Removal does not predict what the stock will do next. It means the stock no longer has a place in the current list.

What the Ledger is

• A stock screening and ranking service.

• A nightly research list for the next market session.

• A tool for traders who make their own entry, exit, and risk decisions.

What the Ledger is not

• A real time alert service.

• Personal financial advice.

• A portfolio management service.

• A forecast or guarantee.

• A substitute for your own research and risk plan.
