Stock Flow and Radar

Updated over a week ago

Overview

This guide teaches you how to use The Algo’s Stock Feed β€” our most powerful feature to discover opportunities across all timeframes (Invest, Swing, and Trade) using The Algo’s Radar and Risk vs Reward signals.

  • "Radar" spots an opportunity only when the trend becomes oversold. Not sooner.

  • "Stocks" are active ideas ready to be acted on.
