Fin Screener generates a multi-window technical research report for each stock, analyzing price action across 1-year, 3-year and 5-year windows. This page explains the methodology — what the patterns, scores and trade scenarios mean. Any figures shown in an individual report are examples based on data at the time of generation, for educational purposes only, not investment advice.
Each report reads the same stock across three windows — 1 year, 3 years and 5 years — and checks whether their directional signals agree. When two or more windows point the same way, the multi-timeframe picture is considered aligned and signals tend to be more reliable. Mixed alignment is treated as a warning that timeframes disagree.
The report identifies chart structures such as symmetrical triangles or ascending channels by reading the sequence of swing highs and lows. Each pattern receives a 0–10 quality score based on how many pivots confirm its boundaries, how clean its shape is, how close price is to a breakout, and whether volume and trend context support a real move. A transparent score replaces a black-box verdict.
Support and resistance levels mark zones where declines tend to be bought and rallies tend to stall. Fibonacci retracement and extension levels are projected from the most recent price swing. Where support/resistance, Fibonacci and moving averages overlap, the report flags a confluence zone — the more overlapping factors, the more significant the level.
Standard indicators provide context: RSI (overbought above 70, oversold below 30), MACD for momentum direction, ADX for trend strength, plus Stochastic and CCI. ATR measures the average daily range and feeds the stop models. The report also reads the volume state relative to its own baseline.
Each window produces a setup-strength grade (0–10 with a letter) that combines trend quality, pattern quality, confluence, reward/risk and trend strength, with a transparent list of supporting strengths and weakening risks. The report then lays out bullish, bearish and neutral scenarios — each with a trigger level, a target and an invalidation level — plus three stop methods (structural, ATR-based and volatility-based).
Every technical report is educational analysis based on price data. It is not investment advice or a trading recommendation, and the specific levels in any report reflect delayed market data at the moment it was generated. Always do your own research.
