Top Ideas is a ranked table of curated high-conviction setups drawn from Scouter’s market-wide Expected Moves scans. It is meant for browsing researched scenarios — not as automated trading signals or personalized advice.
What the table includes
Rows typically show:
- Stock and event
- Timeframe
- Sector and industry
- Current price with modeled target and floor
- Distance toward the target
- A Score that summarizes risk-adjusted return context
You can filter by sector and industry when you want a narrower list. The table refreshes on weekdays as new scans land.
Premium vs everyone else
| Plan | What you see |
|---|---|
| Premium | Unblurred stock, event, and full row detail. Click a row for probabilities, analysis, drivers, and bull/bear context. |
| Free or Starter | Stock, event, and related price fields stay blurred. Sector/Industry often still preview so you can see the shape of the list. Upgrade via Pricing for full access. |
| Logged out | Similar blurring; signup/upgrade prompts apply. |
If you are not on Premium, the page shows a Top Ideas vs SPY track-record chart (modeled equal-weight Top 10, weekly rebalance, whole shares, simulated slippage — no holdings shown) plus a link to Case Studies for weekly narrative retrospectives. Live tickers stay blurred until you upgrade.
How to use Top Ideas responsibly
- Scan scores and sectors for themes that match your own process.
- On Premium, open a row and read the drivers and scenarios carefully.
- Cross-check the ticker on Expected Moves for the live schedule and chart.
- Review the modeled Top Ideas vs SPY chart and Case Studies for historical context — as research illustrations, not live trade instructions.
What the vs SPY chart shows
Each week Scouter models an equal-weight basket of the Top 10 catalyst research ideas versus buy-and-hold SPY. Trades use whole shares and simulated slippage; leftover cash stays uninvested. It is a hypothetical research illustration, not a managed fund or paper account. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Holdings are never shown on public surfaces so the live ranked list stays Premium-only.
Scouter does not tell you to buy or sell. Treat Top Ideas as diligence inputs you evaluate yourself.
“Everything is blurred”
Unblurred Stock/Event and full detail require Premium. Starter unlocks many other parts of Scouter (unlimited Expected Moves, Starting Lineup, Trend detail) but not the unblurred Top Ideas table. Compare plans: Plans and what’s included.
