What Is the Strategy Hub?

The platform has three built-in strategies, each with its own dedicated dashboard:

The Strategy Hub summarizes all three in one place. Instead of visiting each dashboard separately, you see every top pick side by side. Additional pattern strategies from the database may also appear when they match the current market conditions.

VIX Signal /volatility
Inside Day /inside-day-chart
Strength List /stocks
Strategy Hub All top picks in one view
Key insight: When multiple strategies point to the same ticker, that's a confluence signal — the strongest type of confirmation you can get. Click any strategy name on the dashboard to jump to its full dedicated page for deeper analysis.

Market Context Panel

The top section shows the current market environment. These metrics help you decide whether to trade at all, before looking at individual picks.

Market Diagnosis

Overall market regime: Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral. Derived from the combination of VIX, breadth, and trend data. Green = favorable for longs, red = caution.

VIX Level

The CBOE Volatility Index — measures expected S&P 500 volatility. Below 15 = calm, 15-20 = normal, 20-30 = elevated fear, 30+ = panic. Lower VIX generally favors long entries.

ADX (Trend Strength)

Average Directional Index measures how strong the current trend is (not direction). Below 20 = no trend (choppy), 20-40 = trending, 40+ = strong trend. Higher ADX = more reliable breakout signals.

Breadth Health

Are most stocks participating in the move? "Healthy" breadth (many stocks advancing) supports bullish signals. "Weak" breadth (narrow rally) suggests caution even if indices look strong.

Advancing %

Percentage of NYSE stocks advancing vs declining. Above 60% = broad rally. Below 40% = broad selling. This is the raw breadth number behind the "health" label.

MCO (McClellan Oscillator)

A breadth momentum indicator. Positive MCO = more stocks advancing (bullish). Negative MCO = more declining (bearish). Extreme readings (>100 or <-100) often precede reversals.

Hot Sectors

The top-performing sectors right now. Strategy picks from hot sectors carry extra weight — you're trading with the strongest part of the market.

Reading Strategy Cards

Each card represents one strategy's top pick. Here's what every element means:

Strategy Name

The screening method used (e.g., "Holy Grail", "TTM Squeeze"). Some names link to their dedicated dashboard where you can see more detail.

Ticker Symbol

The stock that passed the strategy's screen. This is the strategy's top candidate — the best match it found in today's market.

Direction

Long = bullish setup (buy candidate). Short = bearish setup (short/put candidate).

Confidence

High Strong pattern match. Medium Decent setup. Low Marginal signal.

Rationale

A short explanation of why this ticker was picked — which indicators triggered and what the setup looks like.

Filtered Badge

Means the result was narrowed by your personal watchlist or preferences. The strategy found this pick within your configured universe, not the broad market.

Active vs Inactive Strategies

Active strategies (top section) have found a candidate ticker today. They ran their screen and something passed the criteria.

Inactive strategies (collapsed section) ran but found nothing that met their criteria today. This is not a bug — many strategies are designed to be selective. A strategy like "San Ku (Three Gaps)" might only trigger a few times per month. Fewer active strategies can actually mean a cautious, selective market.

Reading the ratio: If most of your strategies are active, the market has broad setups available. If only 1-2 are active, conditions are narrow — be more selective with your trades.

Summary Banner & Ticker Leaderboard

The banner at the top shows the top ticker — the stock that appeared in the most strategy screens. The counts (Bullish / Bearish / Total) tell you the overall market bias across all strategies.

For example, if the banner shows "AAPL — 4 strategies", it means four independent strategies all picked AAPL as their top candidate. That convergence from different analytical approaches is a strong confluence signal worth investigating further.

How to Use This Page

  1. Check market context first. If the diagnosis is bearish with high VIX and weak breadth, be cautious with any long signals — they're fighting the tape.
  2. Look for confluence. If the same ticker shows up in 2+ strategy cards, that's your strongest signal. The summary banner highlights this automatically.
  3. Check confidence and direction. High-confidence longs in a bullish market = highest conviction. Low-confidence signals in a neutral market = lower priority.
  4. Click through for detail. Cards with "Dashboard" or "Guide" links take you to the strategy's dedicated page where you can see the full analysis, charts, and historical context.
  5. Use The Agent for the full picture. This dashboard shows a subset of strategies with no AI synthesis. For the full 44-strategy analysis with personalized AI recommendations, visit The Signal page.
