Using the Screener

The screener is where the Trifecta Signals record becomes searchable. Every signal the screen has produced sits in one list, and the filters narrow that list along the dimensions traders actually ask about: what kind of setup it was, how large the company is, whether it was confirmed, and which indexes it belongs to. This guide walks through each control and what it does.

Signal groups

Each signal is tagged with one of three flagship groups, or none:

• Washout — A quality company sold down far below its long-term trend. The business is intact; the price isn't.
• Capitulation — A washout where the selling climaxes — volume spiking as the last holders give up, and forced selling burns itself out.
• Exhaustion — A washout where the decline itself runs out of sellers — the rarest of the three.
• Uncategorized — Signals that don't meet the requirements for any of the three groups.

The group pills act as toggles: all four start on, showing every signal. Tap a group off to hide its signals, tap again to bring them back. Groups are tags for reading and ranking the record — a signal's presence in the list never depends on its group. Signals carrying a track-record caution (a previous signal on the same name that failed from a higher entry price) are counted under Uncategorized for filtering purposes.

Category: Quality and Junk

Separate from the groups, each signal carries a category judged on the company's most recent fundamentals: Quality or Junk. The Category control is single-select — choosing Quality shows only Quality signals, choosing Junk shows only Junk, and All shows both. A signal with no current category label appears only under All.

Market cap

The market cap pills — Mega, Large, Mid, Small — filter by the company's size when the signal fired, not its size today. The buckets are Mega cap ($200B and above), Large cap ($10B to $200B), Mid cap ($2B to $10B), and Small cap (under $2B). This control is multi-select: tap one bucket to solo it, tap more to add them, and selecting all four (or tapping All) returns to the full list. Measuring size at signal time keeps a company's bucket as it was on the day that matters, even if its value has moved substantially since.

Status

The Status control filters by where a signal stands. Confirmed signals have met the screen's follow-up condition after their early signal; signals still awaiting that follow-up read as Early Candidates (shown with an "Awaiting confirmation" label while their window is open). The status pill on each row carries the confirmation date for confirmed signals, with the return since the signal on the line below.

The Index filter

The Index row filters by index membership: S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq-100, and Russell 2000. It works like the market cap control — multi-select, All by default, tap to solo one index or combine several. Membership is current membership, applied to every row: a stock added to an index this year carries that index's tag on its older signals too. Because memberships overlap (every Dow stock is also in the S&P 500, for example), selecting two indexes shows the union of both.

Combining filters, and the other views

Filters combine across rows: a signal must satisfy every active control to appear. The sticky summary bar above the list restates the active combination and the resulting count, so the effect of each tap is visible. The same screen hosts the Index Heat Map — a toggle switches between the list and a market-map view of the major indexes — and each stock links to its own page with its full signal timeline and chart. The Watchlist collects the names you're following into one view, with the same signal data attached.

Who sees what

The screener's aggregate statistics — headline figures and track-record summaries — are public. The signal rows themselves, the stock-level detail, and the full filter set are member content: signed-in members with access see the complete record, while public visitors see the aggregates. Members who want to go further than browsing can build filtered exports in Custom Reports; the terms used throughout are defined in the Glossary.
