Long Risk/Reward Screener

Overview​

The Long Risk/Reward profile displays long-only setups that are not selected by MarketAlpha’s AI Alpha Strategy engine. Instead, it returns only risk/reward long assessments — even when AI bias is neutral or short.

This profile is ideal for users building independent long strategies or conducting discretionary research. It allows flexible screening of structurally clean setups that may be overlooked by the AI model due to broader market conditions or setup timing.

info

This profile does not display AI directional preference. Activate AI Strategy = Long on the chart to see only long strategies in the charts, independent of AI selection.

Strategy Focus​

  • Identify potential high-reward long setups without relying on AI’s current strategy output
  • Focus on structural clarity and favorable pathing toward the projected target
  • Scan for reward-efficient opportunities with minimal resistance
  • Use to build discretionary long plans regardless of broader market context
  • Combine with your own watchlists or technical overlays for entry validation
  • Supports custom models, screeners, or research workflows with a long-only focus

Filters Applied​

None.

This profile is unfiltered and continuously updated, enabling flexible exploration. Sort or filter using any metric to shape your view based on your strategy.

Metrics Used​

Long Strategy Signals​

  • Long - Risk/Reward: Ratio of expected upside vs downside based on structural levels. Values ≥ 3 are ideal, and + indicates no visible resistance between price and target. Helps prioritize long setups with strong reward asymmetry and clear risk zones.
  • Long - Path to Target: Counts the number of resistance zones between current price and the long-side target. A value of 0–1 indicates a clean path upward, supporting momentum or breakout entries. Compact name: Path Long

Group Strength and Momentum​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Reveal group participation or leadership in the current session
  • Relative Strength 1 Day: Highlights short-term outperformance, useful for confirming immediate upside strength
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Offer long-term structural context to group support
  • Relative Strength 1 Year: Adds broader trend alignment to the setup

Price Action and Behavior​

  • Change Pre Market (%): Flags overnight moves that may indicate setup formation or continuation
  • Change From Close (%): Captures current session momentum
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Detects unconfirmed or confirmed bullish divergence patterns — useful for early reversal setups
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Highlights setups backed by clear bullish technical patterns
  • Tight Range: Identifies compression prior to potential upward breakouts

Volume and Liquidity​

  • Volume All Hours: Ensures total tradability across all sessions
  • Relative Volume: Flags unusual activity that may support continuation or entry triggers
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Prioritizes liquid names to support execution

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Composite score of fundamental and technical performance
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Used to filter or prioritize fundamentally strong names
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Tracks institutional interest over the last quarter
  • 52 Week High (%): Shows distance to breakout levels for extended upside setups
  • Next Earnings In Days: Flags potential event risk near-term

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to prioritize highly traded and visible stocks with structural long potential. This ensures execution-ready results across all liquidity tiers.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Build long setups using custom logic outside of MarketAlpha’s AI strategy engine
  • Surface structurally strong tickers with high reward potential and minimal resistance
  • Filter or rank watchlists by Long Risk/Reward and Path to Target for upside clarity
  • Use with technical overlays, volume studies, or fundamental tags in Multi-Charts
  • Isolate strong performers in trending or consolidating markets without relying on AI bias
  • Explore additional long entries when AI-generated signals are scarce or neutral
