📊 Stock Scoring Guide

PRO RULES-BASED FMP DATA  A quick-check scoring tool for well-known stocks — honest, data-driven, no fake AI.

🌿 TradePro Honesty Principle

Stock Scoring is a rules-based multi-factor scoring tool. It uses real-time market data to calculate a score from 0–100. There is no machine learning, no training data, and no predictions. Scores reflect today's market signals only — use them as a starting point, not a recommendation.

🔑 What You Need

Stock Scoring requires a Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API key to fetch live data. Without one, scores cannot be calculated — but you can still see Pattern-only scores if you've visited the VWAP chart in the same session.

Add your FMP key under Settings → API Configuration → API Keys.

🚀 How to Use

1
Enter a ticker symbol in the search box (e.g. AAPL, NVDA) or click any stock in the Featured Stocks list.
2
Choose Analysis Depth:
  • Quick — fast snapshot, lower confidence
  • Comprehensive — balanced (recommended)
  • Deep — most thorough, slightly slower
3
Choose Scoring Weight to emphasise what matters to you:
  • Balanced — equal weight across all signals (default)
  • Technical — momentum and price action focused
  • Fundamental — valuation and profitability focused
  • Institutional — market structure and liquidity focused
4
Click "Analyze with AI" — results appear in two cards: the main score breakdown and the AI Verdict card.
5
Use "Open Top 5 in Detail Analysis" to send the top 5 Featured Stocks directly to Batch Processing for a deeper multi-stock analysis.

🔬 What Is Actually Scored

All scores are calculated from real-time FMP /quote data: price, change%, volume, market cap, P/E, EPS. Three equal pillars:

📈 Technical Signals (33%)

  • Daily price momentum (change%)
  • Intraday position vs day high/low
  • Raw volume activity
  • Market cap stability tier
  • Trend strength (magnitude of move)
  • Pattern boost (if VWAP chart visited)

📊 Fundamental Signals (33%)

  • P/E ratio valuation bracket
  • EPS profitability (positive / negative)
  • Market cap tier (large / mid / small)
  • Volume-to-market-cap liquidity ratio
  • Daily change as growth proxy

🏢 Market Structure Signals (33%)

  • Market cap as accessibility proxy
  • Volume as institutional activity proxy
  • Price stability (low volatility preference)
  • P/E alignment with fundamentals
  • Liquidity threshold (volume > 1M)

⚠️ What is NOT scored

The following require additional FMP endpoints (paid tier) and are not yet implemented: ROE, Debt/Equity, Cash Flow, 13F filings, insider trading, analyst consensus, revenue growth. These may be added in a future update.

💡 Tips

Get better scores with pattern data

Visit the Market Pattern Recognition page and load a VWAP chart for your symbol first. Then come back and analyze — the pattern score will be included as a boost/penalty on top of the FMP-based score.

Use Batch Analysis for comparison

Score several stocks via "Refresh + Open Top 5" to quickly compare how different sectors are performing today relative to each other.

Scores are today-only snapshots

Scores change every day as market data changes. A high score today does not mean a high score tomorrow. Always combine with your own analysis before making trading decisions.


Stock Scoring is a rules-based tool — not financial advice. Always do your own research.
