US stock & ETF scanner

Every pick on the public record.
Even the ones that missed.

Newsletters show you the winners. The Tapeline Score blends six named factors into one read on every ticker — and every call, win or miss, goes on a permanent public record you can check before you ever pay. Entries are not re-ranked or deleted, and every correction is dated.

Today’s picks and the entire logged history, losses included, are readable before you sign up.

All 10 of today’s top picks — free, no login. Most scanners keep their picks behind a paywall.

Signing up takes an email and a password, and lands on the free plan — the scanner, top ten scored rows a scan. Adding a card is what starts the trial: 30 days of Premium, and nothing is charged that day — the first charge is on day 30 at the plan you pick, we email you about 7 days before, and one click cancels before then. The scorecard and daily Top 10 stay free to read with no account either way.

Back-checked against the S&P the next session, losses included. Entries are not re-ranked or deleted. We have corrected recorded values twice, and said so: prices on 25 August 2026, and scores from 18 May to 12 June capped on 15 June 2026. Free to read, no account, by you or by your AI.

Why Tapeline

Three things every other scanner won’t do.

01

Public method, not a black box

The six factors and how they’re ordered — weighted most toward Trend and Relative Strength, least toward Momentum — are public and fixed. No hidden inputs, no mystery AI, and every change is announced before it ships.

02

Back-checked vs SPY

Top-10 picks logged at close. Next-day return + alpha vs SPY recorded automatically. The losers stay on the page. Audit any day.

03

Descriptive, not prescriptive

Tapeline never tells you to buy, sell, or hold. Scores describe what the tape is doing — the decision is yours. Read the methodology.

How it works

From data to decision in one glance.

1

Six named factors

Trend · relative strength · fundamentals · smart money · macro · momentum — weighted most toward trend and relative strength, least toward momentum. Same weighting every tick.

2

One sentence per ticker

Plain-English “Why” on every row — no chat session required, no premium gate. Hover the score for the factor breakdown.

3

Every call on the record

The daily top 10 logged at the close with its score and price. The move vs SPY recorded next session. No cherry-picking; losing picks stay in, and every correction is dated.

How to Read a Stock Chart: Price, Volume, Trend, Support

A stock chart is a compressed record of every transaction ever made in one stock — not a prediction of the next one. This guide breaks down the four things every chart actually shows: price, volume, trend, and the support, resistance, and moving-average lines traders draw on top. Each is taught honestly — including where it quietly lies — and connected to how Tapeline's Trend factor reads the same structure.

How to Use MACD: The Indicator Explained (Line, Signal, Histogram)

MACD is the most-screenshotted indicator in trading and the most misread. Here's how the MACD indicator is actually built — the line, signal, and histogram — what crossovers and divergence mean, and where it whipsaws in choppy markets. Then, honestly, how Tapeline reads the same trend and momentum ideas underneath it as two separate factors.

Best Technical Indicators for Swing Trading: An Honest Read

"Best technical indicators for swing trading" is the wrong question — no indicator predicts, they only describe. Here's an honest walk through RSI, moving averages, relative strength, and volume: what each actually measures, where it goes quiet, and how Tapeline folds the trend and relative-strength reads into named factors instead of a single line on a chart.

Bollinger Band Squeeze: How to Find a Volatility Contraction

A Bollinger Band squeeze is when a stock's volatility bands pinch tight — the classic sign that a large move may be loading. But a squeeze tells you when something might happen, never which way, and the fakeouts are brutal. Here's how to spot a genuine volatility contraction, why it fires false signals, and how Tapeline reads the directional context around it — descriptively, with no dedicated "squeeze" score.

Stock Rating Systems: Descriptive vs Prescriptive Labels

A stock rating can tell you what to do, or it can tell you what's true — and those are very different products. This post breaks down descriptive rating systems versus prescriptive buy/sell verdicts: the cognitive traps a verdict hides, the legal line it crosses, and why Tapeline's labels describe a state instead of issuing a command.

AI Stock Scanner: The Case for Seeing the Method and the Losses

"AI stock scanner" has become a marketing label, not a disclosure — most tools that wear it will show you the winners and name nothing about how the number is built. This is the honest case for the opposite: a published methodology and a public scorecard that includes the trades it got wrong. Transparency isn't an edge, but opacity should be a red flag.

Common questions

Things people ask before signing up.

Is this financial advice?+
No. Tapeline publishes a quantitative score derived from public market data. Scores describe what the data is doing — they never tell you to buy, sell, or hold. See the risk disclosure.
How is this different from Finviz / Zacks / TradingView?+
Other scanners give you 500 filters and a blank stare. Tapeline gives you one number, one sentence, and a public track record. You do not have to take our word for the last part — read the record before you decide anything.
Is the scorecard really real?+
Yes. Each trading day’s top 10 is logged automatically at the close; the next session records the actual price move + alpha vs SPY. Losing picks stay in. Trading days with no list are named on the scorecard, alongside every correction. The whole record is on /scorecard for everyone — you don’t even need an account.
What if I cancel?+
Cancel anytime, one click in billing settings. Monthly plans get a full refund within 30 days; annual plans a prorated refund within 30 days. See the refund policy.
What data do you use?+
US equities and commodity ETFs from a market data feed whose prices are delayed about 15 minutes, plus macro indicators, fundamentals, SEC Form 4 insider filings, and a news feed. Categories and refresh cadences listed on data sources.

One score. One sentence.
One public record.
