Frequently asked questions

SetupSignals is a daily technical-analysis signal service. After the U.S. market close we scan the tradeable US stock market (~5,000 listed common stocks — warrants, units, preferreds and sub-$0.50 / sub-$5M micro-caps filtered out) plus the ~1,300 most-liquid US-listed ETFs, detect chart and candlestick patterns on the daily timeframe, and sort every long setup into one of four status lanes — published to your dashboard and an optional email digest by about 4:30 ET.

No. SetupSignals is an informational and educational tool only — not investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Patterns frequently fail and past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Always do your own research. See the Legal & Disclaimer page.

Swing traders and active investors who want a fast, structured read of the daily chart-pattern landscape without scrolling hundreds of charts by hand.

Once per trading day, after the U.S. close. The dashboard and the email digest are typically ready by around 4:30 ET. Markets-closed days have no new scan.

Each long setup is classified into exactly one lane describing where it is in a breakout's life-cycle: Setting up, Breaking out, Broke out, and Retesting breakout. SetupSignals is a long-only product — bearish patterns are skipped. The landing page walks through all four in order.

Chart patterns from trendline geometry — triangles, wedges, channels, flags, pennants, flat bases / Darvas boxes, cup & handle, head & shoulders, and island-top reversals — confirmed by single-, multi-candle, and continuation setups such as engulfing bars, hammers, shooting stars, dojis, morning/evening stars, kickers, and three-methods. Because the product is long-only, bearish-bias patterns are detected but filtered out of the board. The full list is on the home page under “What the scanner reads.”

Daily price bars and company fundamentals come from Polygon.io. The Reddit sentiment board aggregates ticker mentions from r/wallstreetbets, r/stocks, r/daytrading and other trading subreddits via ApeWisdom, refreshed every two hours. The Congress trades board aggregates STOCK Act disclosures by US House Representatives and Senators from the public House and Senate Stock Watcher datasets, refreshed daily — disclosures lag the trade by up to 45 days (the law). Both boards are free with a login, and the most-talked-about tickers run through the same full chart-and-indicator analysis as every other signal (a top-10 preview is on the home page). All data may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors and is provided “as is” — verify independently before acting on it.

Free (with a login) shows the Broke out and Retesting-breakout lanes for stocks and ETFs, candlestick signals (the best example of each pattern type), the full WSB-Reddit buzz list, and the top-3 Congress tickers — and every trending ticker gets the full chart, indicators and detail page. The timely Setting-up and Breaking-out lanes, pattern names, trade plans, the rest of the symbol detail pages, the watchlist, and the daily email digest are Pro.
