HOW IT WORKS

THE SIGNALS

Type any US stock symbol above and Litmus pulls its last year of daily bars, testing it against its 20-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages — pure price-vs-average rules, no black box. STRONG BUY = the stock reclaimed its key averages. BUY = it's retesting a still-rising average and holding. Every signal card shows entry reference, hard stop-loss, invalidation level, and position size for a $10k account risking 1%.

THE LITMUS SCORE (0–100)

Every ticker gets a Litmus Score built on @thesetupfactory's setup framework — six measurable components, highest score at the top of every list:

• Extension (10) — how far price sits above its EMA9/EMA21, in ATR units. Clean under 1×, warming 1–1.5×, extended over 2× scores zero. Clean entries only.
• Near the averages (15) — closeness to the 10-day SMA and 21 EMA, his "sniper entry" zone. Right on the averages scores full; far above or below scores nothing.
• Entry trigger (10) — inside day, 10-day tag, shakeout-and-recovery off the 21 EMA, breakout, or failed-breakout reclaim.
• Daily base (5) — bigger the base, bigger the points. Base length and depth.
• WEEKLY monster base (10) — bigger timeframe, bigger score. A 2-year weekly base scores the most. This is where $OUST-type setups shine.
• BREAKOUT (10) — weekly base breakout = 10, daily base breakout = 7, bull flag breakout (15%+ run, tight flag, breaking the highs) = 7, sitting at the highs = 3.
• Relative strength (10) — 90+ RS rating = full points, 80+ = 7, 70+ = 3. Falls back to 20-day excess return vs SPY when no rating is published. Leaders only.
• Trend structure (10) — above a rising 50-day, near 50-day highs.
• Relative volume (10) — breakouts need fuel (2×+ = full). Quiet inside days are fine; dead volume scores zero.
• Size / liquidity (10) — 50-day average dollar volume. $500M+ = full, $100M+ = 7, $50M+ = 4. Big liquid caps score higher.

70+ is green, 50–69 amber, under 50 red. Hover any score for its full breakdown. Missing inputs score neutral — never faked.

Alongside it, MOMO is the classic momentum score (v2): 3/6/12-month momentum, 52-week-high proximity, RS vs S&P, trend stack, and volume. LITMUS times the entry; MOMO finds the leaders. The best setups score well on both.

AGENT DEBATES

Tap ⚔️ Debate the agents on any card and a team of AI trading agents goes to work: four analysts research fundamentals, technicals, sentiment and news in parallel; then a bull agent and a bear agent debate the ticker round by round; a trader agent makes the call; and a risk team (aggressive, neutral, conservative voices) stress-tests the trade before the final verdict. You get an instant health check right away; the full debate report lands in about two minutes and is cached for the day.
