How the High Conviction ranking works
The Tapeline composite is a transparent weighted sum of six factors: Trend (25%), Relative Strength (20%), Fundamentals (15%), Smart Money (15%), Macro (15%), and Momentum (10%). For the high conviction view, the emphasis is on score 85+ across all six factors — but the composite is the better summary signal than any single factor in isolation.

Questions about high conviction on Tapeline
What is the HIGH CONVICTION tier exactly?
+
It's the score band 85-100 on Tapeline's 0-100 composite. The label is descriptive (the data is aligned) not prescriptive (we are not telling you to buy). HIGH CONVICTION ≠ guaranteed return — it means trend, RS, fundamentals, smart money, macro, and momentum all read constructive at the same time. See /how-it-works for the full methodology.
How many stocks are usually in HIGH CONVICTION at once?
+
Typically 30-80 names depending on the macro regime. In Risk On regimes (broad participation, low VIX) the number can spike above 100 — the rising tide lifts more boats into the top tier. In Risk Off the count compresses to 20-30 as confluence becomes rarer.
What's the scorecard performance of HIGH CONVICTION picks?
+
Every daily top-10 pick is back-checked against next-day SPY return. The full record (winners and losers) is at /scorecard — including the days the model called HIGH CONVICTION on names that proceeded to underperform. We don't edit the record. The composite over time aims to beat SPY by a meaningful alpha but no single signal is guaranteed.
Is HIGH CONVICTION a buy recommendation?
+
No. Tapeline never tells you to buy, sell, or hold. The descriptive label means the six factors all read constructive at the moment of scoring. The decision — whether to act, position size, when to exit — is yours. See the risk disclosure at /legal/risk.
