One Scanner, Six Lenses

Each playbook reshapes how TradeMe weights its scoring factors. The same ticker can score differently under different playbooks — because what makes a great momentum trade isn't what makes a great mean reversion trade.

Momentum Breakout

Designed for stocks breaking above key resistance with volume confirmation. RSI rising, MACD crossing bullish, volume surging, and trend structure turning. The classic day trade setup.

Boosted: Volume Spike, RVOL, Trend Strength
Reduced: Day-over-Day, IV Percentile
Best in: Trending markets with strong breadth
🔥

Squeeze Fire

Catches the explosive move when a TTM Squeeze fires after compression. Bollinger Bands tighten inside Keltner Channels, then pop — momentum shifts from coiled energy to directional expansion.

Boosted: Momentum, Volatility Expansion, Price Action
Reduced: Relative Strength, VWAP
Best in: Consolidation periods about to break
🚀

Gap & Go

Targets pre-market gaps that continue in the opening drive. High RVOL at the open, price holding above VWAP, gap not filling — these are the morning rocket plays that set the tone for the session.

Boosted: Day-over-Day, RVOL, VWAP Position
Reduced: Trend Strength, Float Rotation
Best in: First 30 minutes of the session
🔄

Mean Reversion

Fades the overextended move. RSI below 30 (oversold) or above 70 (overbought), price stretched far from VWAP, reversal candlestick forming. These are the snapback plays that exploit statistical extremes.

Boosted: Price Action, VWAP Position, Momentum (inverted)
Reduced: Volume Spike, Trend Strength
Best in: Range-bound or choppy markets
🐋

Unusual Options

Follows the smart money. Abnormal call or put volume relative to 30-day averages, large single-order anomalies, and gamma exposure shifts that suggest institutional directional conviction. Pairs with the GEX Analyzer to read dealer regime.

Boosted: IV Percentile, Volume Spike, Float Rotation
Reduced: Day-over-Day, Price Action
Best in: Any market condition — smart money trades regardless
📰

Earnings Play

Exploits the IV expansion and contraction around earnings catalysts. Straddles, directional volatility plays, and post-earnings drift setups. The implied move vs historical move analysis tells you if the options market is overpricing or underpricing the event.

Boosted: IV Percentile, Volatility Expansion, Catalyst bonus
Reduced: RVOL, Relative Strength
Best in: 1–5 days before earnings announcements
