Research and screening · Not investment advice

Honest research on your watchlist. No signals. No hype.

TickerEdge Labs analyzes your watchlist with three independent research lenses — multi-factor momentum scoring, intraday timing patterns, and long-dated options screening. Transparent factor methodology. Statistical significance flagged. No one telling you what to buy.

Why this exists

The retail trading research market is broken.

Signal services pretend to be research.

"Buy AAPL at $189, exit at $215, stop at $176" isn't research — it's an unregistered investment-advisory service in a Discord. Most dodge regulatory scrutiny with footer disclaimers, but the SEC and state regulators look at substance over labels.

Black-box scores tell you nothing.

A 4-star rating doesn't help you understand why, let alone notice when the underlying logic has changed. You're left trusting a number without the means to verify it.

Hype crowds out methodology.

The serious retail trader — the one who reads 10-Ks, sizes positions carefully, and wants to know how a number was calculated — is poorly served by a market optimized for whoever clicks "join Discord" fastest.

TickerEdge Labs exists for the third type of trader. The methodology is published. The factors are weighted transparently. The output is descriptive, not prescriptive. If you want signals telling you exactly what to buy, this is the wrong product. If you want statistically grounded research on the tickers you actually trade — with no one trying to sell you a course or a trade copier — welcome.

Three research lenses

Three products. One brand promise. Each stands alone.

Different decisions need different time horizons. We've built three research modules that share one methodology — factor-based, statistically grounded, descriptive only — but answer different questions. Subscribe to one, two, or all three.

Module 01 · Daily

Momentum Lab

$69 / month

"Which Russell 1000 names show genuine momentum today — and which are decaying?"

A morning report that sorts every Russell 1000 stock into five tiers based on how much momentum it's actually showing right now. Tier 1 means a stock is in a strong, accelerating uptrend — beating the broader market, holding above key moving averages, with recent gains building on prior ones. Tier 5 means no momentum at all. Tiers in between catch stocks that are early in a move, developing, or starting to fade. Your watchlist is tracked across reports, so you see when a stock changes tier — and we explain what's driving each move.

Module 02 · Weekly

Timing Lab

$29 / month

"When during the week and day does this stock tend to move?"

Every stock has its own rhythm — days and times of day when it tends to move up, and others when it doesn't. We pull 90 days of intraday price data on every name in your watchlist (up to 100) and show you those patterns as a clear heatmap. We're upfront about which patterns hold up under testing and which ones are just noise — the weak ones are flagged, not hidden. Useful for swing traders, day traders, and options sellers thinking about when to enter.

Module 03 · Daily

LEAPS Screen

$59 / month

"Which long-dated call setups score well today?"

LEAPS — long-dated call options — can give you stock-like upside with capped downside, but only if you pick the right underlying. Every trading morning, we screen Barchart's top 100 stocks on the six things that matter for LEAPS: trend, relative strength, momentum, entry quality, volatility, and risk. You see which stocks score well today, which specific contracts pass our liquidity and pricing filters, and which setups are getting weaker over time.

Module 01

Momentum Lab — tiered scoring on the Russell 1000.

$69 per month

Most "best momentum stocks" lists online are really just leaderboards — a sorted view of what's already gone up the most. That's hindsight, not research. Momentum Lab does something more useful: every morning, it ranks every stock in the Russell 1000 into five tiers based on how much momentum it's actually showing today. Tier 1 is the strongest — a stock in a clear, accelerating uptrend, outperforming the broader market and holding above its key moving averages. Tier 5 is the weakest — no momentum at all. Tiers 2 through 4 step down between them, flagging stocks that are early in a move, building strength, or just starting to fade. Your watchlist names are tracked across reports so you see when a stock changes tier — and we explain what factor would need to shift for the tier to flip.

Multi-factor composite

Each ticker is scored on trend posture (EMA crossovers, distance from key averages), relative strength against multiple benchmarks, multi-window returns, momentum quality (volatility-adjusted), and entry conditions. Factors blended into a single 0–100 composite with documented weights.

Theme-cohort adjustments

Tickers are mapped to themes (Cybersecurity, Cloud Software, AI Semis, Mega Cap Tech, Consumer Momentum, Fintech/Crypto, Growth Platforms). Each ticker's score is adjusted by its cohort's average factor profile — strong themes lift their constituents, weak themes don't.

Market regime overlay

SPY, QQQ, and IWM trend posture (EMA-21/50/200 alignment + 20/50-day returns) compute a market-regime label. The label is descriptive — and applied as a small adjustment to all composite scores, so risk-on regimes don't artificially inflate scores during chop.

What the tiers actually mean

Tier 1 — Trend Acceleration: the strongest names. A stock in a clear uptrend, beating the broader market, gains building on gains. Tier 2 — Early Momentum: stocks just starting to move, where the setup looks real but isn't yet confirmed. Tier 3 — Developing: middling, building strength but not decisive. Tier 4 — Early Setup: bottoming or basing, early signs of life. Tier 5 — Below Threshold: no momentum. For every ticker on your watchlist, we also tell you which specific factor would need to change for the tier to shift.

What you don't get: "buy this momentum name" picks, entry prices, position sizing, profit targets, or any explicit recommendation to trade. Tiers are descriptive — they describe where a ticker sits in today's factor evaluation. Whether and how you act on that is your decision.
Module 02

Timing Lab — when, not what.

$29 per month

Most retail trading content tells you what to buy. Almost none of it answers a more useful question: when does this stock actually move? Timing Lab pulls 90 days of intraday price data on every name in your watchlist and shows you — at a glance — which days of the week and times of day each stock tends to rally, and which it tends to sag. We test every pattern to separate the real ones from random noise, and we tell you which is which.

Pattern heatmap

For each ticker in your watchlist, a 5×13 grid showing the percentage of 5-minute bars that close green at each day-of-week × 30-minute block. Green cells indicate upward bias; red cells indicate downward bias. Cells with statistically significant patterns are flagged distinctly from cells that are just noise.

Out-of-sample validation

We hold back 30 days of data from each ticker and re-test every pattern that appears in the in-sample period. Patterns that don't replicate get called "noise" — and we tell you so. This is the part of the methodology nobody else publishes.

Score sensitivity

For each ticker's strongest patterns, we tell you which factor changes would flip the bias. If a stock's "Monday-bullish" pattern has historically depended on positive earnings revisions, we say so — so you know when the pattern's underlying logic has changed.

Pattern stability tracking

Patterns drift. We track week-over-week stability for each ticker so you can see when a long-standing pattern is decaying and when a new one is forming. The historical view is as important as the current snapshot.

Timing Lab — every Sunday before the open
  • Up to 100 active tickers on your watchlist
  • Adjust your watchlist freely — no swap limit
  • Statistical significance flagged on every cell
  • Out-of-sample validation on 30 held-back days

What you don't get: intraday alerts, "trade this now" notifications, scalping signals, or anyone telling you when to enter or exit a specific position. The report is descriptive — what patterns the data shows. You decide what to do with it.
Module 03

LEAPS Screen — daily research on long-dated calls.

$59 per month

LEAPS — long-dated call options — can give you stock-like upside with capped downside, and time enough for a thesis to actually play out. They're also expensive and unforgiving if you pick the wrong underlying. Every trading morning, LEAPS Screen runs Barchart's top 100 stocks through six factors that matter for LEAPS: trend, relative strength, momentum, entry quality, volatility, and risk. You see which stocks pass the screen, which specific call contracts have the right liquidity and pricing, and which setups are getting weaker over time.

Factor score breakdown

Six factors scored independently on every ticker: trend (25 pts), relative strength vs SPY/QQQ (20 pts), momentum (15 pts), entry quality (15 pts), volatility (10 pts), risk penalty (–20 pts). Two parallel models — Balanced (conservative) and Aggressive (momentum-leaning) — both scored, both reported.

Eligible contract characteristics

For each candidate, the LEAPS calls that pass our screening filters: 10–15 month days-to-expiration, delta band, open interest floor, bid-ask spread cap. Strike, premium per contract, OI, volume, spread, delta — descriptive data, surfaced clearly.

Score sensitivity

Every report tells you exactly which factor movements would knock the score down. MACD turns negative. RSI falls below 45. Price loses the 50-day. You know what to watch for without us telling you when to exit.

Day-over-day tracking

Candidates that appear on the screen are tracked across runs in your dashboard. You see when scores are stable, when they're deteriorating, and which factors changed. Historical context, not just a daily snapshot.

What you don't get: entry prices, profit targets, stop losses, position sizing, hold-duration guidance, or anyone telling you to buy or sell. We're not registered as an investment adviser and we don't pretend to be. Every number in your report is descriptive — what the screening model observed, not what you should do.
Methodology

How the analysis runs.

All three modules share one philosophy: every number we surface is reproducible from public data and published parameters.

Momentum Lab runs daily across the Russell 1000. Each ticker is scored on a multi-factor composite (trend posture, multi-window relative strength, return windows, momentum quality, entry conditions), then adjusted by theme-cohort strength (7 sector cohorts) and a market-regime overlay (SPY/QQQ/IWM trend alignment). Composite scores roll up into Tiers 1–5; score-sensitivity notes show which factors would need to move for the tier to change.

Timing Lab uses 5-minute intraday bars over the trailing 90 calendar days (60 in-sample + 30 out-of-sample). Each cell in the pattern heatmap is tested for statistical significance using a binomial test against a 50% null. We apply Benjamini-Hochberg correction so a 65-cell grid doesn't surface false positives. Out-of-sample validation requires patterns to replicate on held-back data; patterns that fail validation are explicitly labeled as noise.

LEAPS Screen runs nightly on the Barchart Top 100 universe. For each ticker, we compute the standard technical and fundamental factors (moving averages, RSI(14), MACD, ATR(14), 52-week range, multi-month returns, relative strength vs SPY/QQQ, growth metrics), then score on six dimensions with documented weights. Eligible LEAPS contracts are filtered by delta band, days-to-expiration window, open-interest floor, and bid-ask spread cap.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

Is this financial advice?

No. TickerEdge Labs publishes statistical research and screening output across our three modules. We don't recommend specific trades, prices, position sizes, or exits. We're not a registered investment adviser, and we don't pretend to be. Make your own decisions and consult a licensed financial professional before trading.

Do I have to subscribe to all three modules?

No. Each module is sold individually and they work independently. Subscribe to one, any two, all three, or just the free tier. Many of our customers start with one module and add others later as their needs evolve.

Are you going to bundle them eventually?

We don't list a bundle on our pricing page, but if you want two or three modules, write to support@tickeredgelabs.com and we'll send you a discount code. Most customers who subscribe to more than one module find the savings meaningful — and we'd rather have that conversation with you than guess at a public bundle price that might not fit your situation.

How is Timing Lab different from TradingView screeners or pattern-recognition tools?

TradingView shows you patterns on charts. Timing Lab does statistical pattern validation — telling you not just that a pattern exists but whether it's statistically significant and whether it replicates on held-back data. Most patterns chart-pattern tools surface are noise. Timing Lab tells you which ones aren't.

How is LEAPS Screen different from Barchart's own LEAPS screener or OptionStrat?

Barchart provides the raw data we screen against. OptionStrat focuses on position visualization and P&L modeling for trades you've already decided to make. LEAPS Screen is upstream of both — the daily research layer that helps you identify which underlyings to investigate in the first place.

What data do you use?

Barchart for the top-100 universe list, EODHD for intraday 5-minute data and options chains, and Financial Modeling Prep for fundamentals. The methodology page documents the exact endpoints and refresh cadence.

Do I need a brokerage account?

That's between you and your broker. TickerEdge Labs has no brokerage relationships, takes no kickbacks, and never executes trades. Whether you trade through Fidelity, IBKR, Schwab, or anywhere else, it's the same product.

How often are reports updated?

Momentum Lab and LEAPS Screen run daily before the US market open (typically 6:30–8:30 AM ET). Timing Lab runs weekly, delivered Sunday evening before the Monday open.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Click a button. No friction, no retention call, no countdown timer. We refund the most recent month if you cancel within 14 days.

Do you share or sell my data?

No. Your email and watchlist get used for your reports and nothing else. We don't sell to advertisers, partners, or anyone.

Is the methodology really public?

Yes. Full factor weights, statistical tests, validation procedures, and update cadence are documented at the methodology page.
