Universal Search

The Universal Search lets you instantly find and explore filters, tickers, strategies, industries, themes, ETFs, and more — from anywhere inside the platform. It’s one of the fastest ways to launch into setups or ideas without navigating away from your current screen.

How It Works​

You’ll see two main input fields:

Top Search Bar – Filter Discovery​

Search across all available filters — from strategies and technical setups to volume, valuation, and fundamentals. It includes:

  • Long and Short Strategy filters (e.g. Long - Bullish Pattern, Short - Gap Under Support)
  • Technical categories like Price & Momentum, Patterns, Candle Signals, RSI Divergence
  • Volume, Volatility, Earnings, Sales, Profitability, Ratings, ETF Exposure, and more

Each filter is labeled by category and shows a tooltip on hover explaining its logic and application.

Once selected, filters are instantly applied and update the result table in real time.

Bottom Search Bar – Symbol & Group Search​

Search for:

  • Ticker symbols or full company names
  • Industries, themes, and ETF/ETN types
  • Specific community filter names, including saved setups

Search adapts to active filters, showing only matching symbols from the filtered universe.

What It Displays​

Universal Search doesn’t just return tickers — it delivers immediate context in a clean table, helping you evaluate each result’s setup potential in seconds. For every matching result, you’ll see:

  • Ticker Name, along with linked Industry and Theme
  • Alpha Strategy (Long or Short bias) — shows real-time directional setup
  • AI Risk/Reward — highlights the potential upside versus downside
  • Path to Target — counts how many barriers stand between price and target
  • 52 Week High (%) — shows distance to breakout or reversal levels
  • Relative Volume — flags unusual trading activity and participation
  • RSI Divergence — shows presence and days of divergence
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score — tracks institutional pressure
  • Industry Rating 1Y, Theme Rating 1Y — measures long-term structural group strength

This table acts as your pre-screened opportunity dashboard:

  • Instantly spot high-conviction setups based on AI structure and behavior
  • Gauge the strength of themes and industries behind the move
  • Validate tickers using real-time volume, divergence, or breakout conditions
  • Decide in seconds whether to dig deeper or move on — no need to load charts or screeners first

It’s perfect if you want fast, informed decisions without losing momentum — bridging discovery and action in one unified view.
