ScanInsight does four things. Scans, earnings intel, journal, market regime. It does them well. Heavy on data, heavier on what you do with it. Not built to cater to everyone, and that's the point.
Most trading platforms are built for everyone. 800 screening parameters, CAN SLIM filters, options flow, crypto, forex, macro dashboards. Features designed to appeal to the widest possible audience. ScanInsight is not that platform.
Every feature here was built for traders who trade high-momentum setups. The scanner surfaces the right names. The earnings feed flags catalysts when they're there, before they're priced in. The breadth dashboard tells you when to trade and when to stay flat. Nothing else. Nothing you won't use every session.
If you trade value, options, macro, or swing-to-hold, there are better platforms for your style. ScanInsight is deliberately narrow. That's the point.
If only edge mattered.
The greatest traders of this era are documented. Many of them are US Investing Championship winners. Minervini's VCP. Qullamaggie's 10/21 EMA. Kell's cycle of price action. Luk's anchored VWAP. Their rules are known. Their setups are public. With AI, you can now build their exact systems and backtest them on your own data. And yet, most traders who study these methods remain unprofitable. Because information was never the gap. Conviction is. The capacity to take every trade that meets your rules, without hesitation, without looking for confirmation, without needing it to feel right. That is what separates the ones who make it.
If only psychology mattered.
Every automated system would be profitable. Bots execute with perfect discipline. No fear, no greed, no ego, no hesitation. They never revenge trade. They never move a stop. They never abandon the system after two losing trades. And the majority of automated systems still lose money. Because flawless execution of a flawed strategy produces consistent losses. Psychology is not the whole answer. It is the difference between realizing your edge and not realizing it. The edge must exist first.
If only information mattered.
More data would make better traders. Better scanners would produce better results. A faster news feed, a more sophisticated indicator, a more detailed alert service. Mark Douglas spent a career documenting why this assumption is the primary reason traders stay stuck. The gap is not informational. Traders keep seeking more inputs because it feels productive. Addressing a strategy problem is more comfortable than addressing an internal one. The information gap closed a long time ago.
“You can steal ideas.
You can’t borrow conviction.”
ScanInsight is built on decades of swing trading momentum methodology. Pradeep Bonde’s Episodic Pivot, Mark Minervini’s VCP, William O’Neil’s CAN SLIM, Oliver Kell’s cycle of price action, Kristjan Qullamaggie’s 10/21 EMA framework and ORB entries. What they share is a deep conviction in their methodology, earned from the relentless hours watching the same setups and patterns work over and over again. ScanInsight is built to surface those setups.
A useful reference for reading momentum on any chart: the 10 and 21 EMA. Price above both, momentum is intact. Price below, it isn’t. One of many tools. Among the cleanest at a glance.
Scans, earnings intel, journal, regime. Built for traders who want context on every layer. The name, the tape, the catalyst when present, and themselves.
29 pre-built scans plus a custom scan builder. Momentum, breakout, gap, EP, RS, volume, float. Surface the names that match your rules without hunting across three different sites. Universe refreshed every two hours during the trading week.
We poll EDGAR every 60 seconds and classify each new 8-K within a minute or two of posting. Beat or miss, revenue, guidance direction, M&A, exec changes, material events. Headline numbers and key quotes surfaced alongside a link to the raw filing. Catalysts in plain English, before the move.
Full journal with Kelly criterion, Monte Carlo, and behavioral analytics. The weekly AI review reads what you wrote: revenge trades, oversizing on tilts, cutting winners early. It pattern-matches your own behavior. No predictions. Just the patterns you keep repeating.
Distribution days, breadth, RS rankings, theme rotation, episodic pivots. Know if the tape is fightable before you take the setup, not after. 5,000+ stocks tracked, 39-ETF theme rotation, regime-aware scanning.
Every feature in ScanInsight maps to a step in the same process. Regime first. Is momentum present? Find your setup. Same order, every time.
Before a single scan runs, the Market Breadth dashboard tells you the environment. Distribution days, the percentage of stocks above key EMAs, breadth trends. You do not fight the tape. You read it first.
Earnings Intelligence surfaces guidance raises, EPS beats, and key management language as SEC 8-K filings hit EDGAR. When a catalyst is present, you see it before the price moves. Not every setup needs one. A clean breakout or trend continuation is its own signal.
With the regime confirmed, the scanner filters the universe to the names that meet your criteria. Breakouts, pullbacks, EMA-stack continuations, episodic pivots. Apply the EMA filter for above 10, above 21. Only the names in momentum remain.
Check the company profile. RS, ADR%, ATR$, EPS history, earnings beat record. The setup either meets the rules or it doesn't. No second-guessing. No searching for confirmation. The data either says yes or it doesn't.
Most scanners ship without a journal because a journal does not sell features. Lists, screeners, and alerts make the marketing copy. The journal is the quiet part of the workflow that compounds, and it is the part most platforms skip.
ScanInsight’s journal is Mark Douglas strict. Behavioral tags catch the patterns that quietly erode an edge: chased, FOMO entry, revenge trade, moved stop down, cut winner early. The weekly AI Coach reads your full pre-trade, post-trade, and mistake notes and writes a letter that pushes back when your behavior contradicts your stated process. Postmortem cards let you share what you learned without bragging about what you made.
Process is the edge. Outcome is feedback. The journal is built around that distinction.
One plan. Monthly or yearly. Cancel anytime. Money-back guarantee on every plan.
The full platform. Everything a momentum trader needs, every session.
No single number can carry the full weight of a setup. A breakout score is a compression of many variables into one, and compression discards the information that often matters most. Even Bulkowski acknowledges his own pattern criteria are loose enough that two competent chart readers can look at the same daily and one will see a head and shoulders while the other sees a bear flag. If the patterns themselves are subjective, any score built on top of them inherits that subjectivity.
Relative strength is a context filter, not a setup grade. Sector RS, industry RS, stock RS. None of it matters if the chart in front of you is rolling over. Strong RS in a weakening environment is a trap. Weak RS in an early base can be next year’s leader. A score that compresses that into one number throws away the part you actually needed to know.
The setup is the interaction. The base, the volume, the regime, the catalyst, the position size, the entry rule, the stop, the exit, your own discipline. No score captures that. So we surface clean inputs and leave the integration to you. That’s the job.
No black-box scoring. No hidden weights. Every number traces back to a formula you can read. The patterns that worked a hundred years ago still work. Look at the USIC winners. Most of them trade the same setups. ScanInsight is a scanner and a deep research terminal. The execution and the deep work are yours.
Launching 2027 · Methodology-first since day one
One email every Sunday. A read on the current market regime, the week’s catalysts to watch, and one setup explainer. Built for swing traders who do their preparation on Sunday and trade light through the week.
No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
Swing traders who want to do real research, not get spoon-fed signals. The product is built around a clean methodology-first workflow: scan for filtered candidates, read the earnings context, log the trade, check the regime. If you trade off pattern alerts or want a black-box “buy this now” system, you’ll find ScanInsight dry. If you sit down on Sunday, do your homework, and trade your own decisions during the week, it’ll feel like the tool you’ve been trying to assemble with five tabs open.
Each tool is great at what it does. TradingView is excellent for charting. TC2000 and ToS are built for traders who live inside their broker’s execution platform. ScanInsight sits in a different lane: a research terminal you check for 15 to 30 minutes a day, find your setups, log them, and get on with your life. Four pillars sit on one canvas: filter scans with transparent inputs, earnings intel that classifies new SEC filings and surfaces the headline numbers alongside the source links, a trade journal with Mark Douglas-style behavioral coaching, and a market regime tab that contextualizes today’s tape. We’re built to complement charting and execution platforms, not replace them.
No. Scans are filters, not signals. They surface names that meet a measurable state (above 21 EMA, RS above 70, gap pct positive, whatever the rule is). What you do with that name is yours. A scan cannot be right or wrong, because whether a setup works depends on how you trade it: where and how you enter, where your stop sits, how you manage the exit. A scanner that advertises a “hit rate” is selling a fantasy.
Universe metrics (RS, ADR, ATR, distance from moving averages, MA stacks, returns) refresh every two hours during the trading week. The post-close run is the canonical daily snapshot; the intra-day runs keep the picture current as the tape moves. Scans rebuild on every refresh. Earnings intel polls EDGAR every 60 seconds and classifies new 8-K filings within a minute or two of posting (beat or miss, guidance, M&A, exec changes, material events). Quotes refresh on a short interval throughout the session.
No. We poll EDGAR every 60 seconds and classify each new 8-K within a minute or two of posting (beat or miss, guidance, M&A, exec change, material event), pull the headline numbers, and link to the source. That is what most traders actually act on. The full filing is one click away when you want it. Reading the 200-page report is the SEC’s job to publish, not ours to recite.
15 to 30 minutes a day is the design target. Open the Market Brief, check the regime, run a scan that matches today’s tape, update your watchlist, log any open trades. The earnings tab and individual stock profiles are there when you want to go deeper. The product is built so that swing trading gives you your day back instead of consuming it: Sunday-heavy preparation, light maintenance through the week, the rest of your day is yours.
Yes. The Builder tab lets you compose any combination of 60+ metrics with min/max ranges and save the result as a reusable scan. Built-in scans cover the most popular setups (Power Play, Inside Day, EMA pullbacks, Episodic Pivot, parabolic moves, and more), but if you want a tighter or looser version of any of them, you can build it in a few clicks.
Daily and weekly across every scan, return horizon, and indicator. ScanInsight is built for swing trading, so intraday tick-by-tick data is not the product. Day traders should pair us with their broker’s execution charts and use ScanInsight for the overnight prep and watchlist work. Position traders can lean on the weekly views and the regime tab.
It’s a research tool, not training wheels. If you have never traded before, learn risk management and read O’Neil, Minervini, and Mark Douglas first. Once you’re actually trading, ScanInsight gives you a clean methodology-first scanner and a journal that pushes back when your behavior contradicts your stated process. Friendly to beginners who are willing to do the work. Not a shortcut.
Everything. All scans, full earnings intel, the journal, the market regime tab, the filter builder, watchlists, all timeframes. No tiered gating, no “upgrade to see this” modal. One plan. $40 per month or $400 per year.
$40 a month is less than one bad trade. If the product helps you skip one over-eager entry per month because the regime read was clear or the journal flagged a pattern in your own behavior, it’s paid for itself many times over. If you’re not trading actively, none of the data we surface helps you, and you should not subscribe. We’re not for everyone, and we’re not trying to be.
No free trial. One tier, $40 per month or $400 per year. You can cancel anytime with no penalty, and every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. We’d rather have customers who actually use the product than ones we tricked into a trial they forgot to cancel.
