BFEB

BFEB (Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETF - February) currently scores 38/100 with the signal label CAUTION. The score is a weighted blend of six quantitative factors and updates sub-60 seconds during US market hours.

The Tapeline Score is a transparent weighted sum: 25% Trend, 20% Relative Strength, 15% Fundamentals, 15% Smart Money, 15% Macro, 10% Momentum. Each sub-score is normalised to 0-100 and the exact formula is published on /how-it-works.

Tapeline doesn't issue buy or sell calls — we publish descriptive analytics, not investment advice. The signal label CAUTION describes the current state of the data; whether BFEB fits your portfolio depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon, and tax situation. See the risk disclosure for details.

BFEB's score re-ticks every minute during US market hours and persists between sessions. Price and momentum data refresh sub-60s; fundamentals refresh on company filing cadence; insider Form 4 within hours of SEC filing.

Every Tapeline top-10 daily pick is auto-published with the next-day return vs SPY at /scorecard. The scorecard is immutable — every call is preserved with its original context for accountability.

CAUTION is a descriptive band on the Tapeline composite. HIGH CONVICTION (85-100) means all six factors aligned; STRONG SETUP (70-84) typically four-or-five-of-six; CONSTRUCTIVE (55-69) net-positive with tradeoffs; NEUTRAL (40-54) factors cancel; CAUTION (25-39) more negative than positive; WEAK (0-24) broadly negative. BFEB sitting at CAUTION means the data right now reads as caution for the six-factor profile.

The Tapeline composite is calibrated for multi-day setups — the heaviest weights (Trend 25%, RS 20%, Fundamentals 15%) reward stability over a horizon of days-to-weeks. For pure day trading, the 1-day move + sub-momentum factor is more relevant. Use /best-stocks-for/day-traders for the day-trader-sorted view and /best-stocks-for/swing-traders for the multi-day setup view.

BFEB's sector rank within the funds & etfs sector updates live as composite scores re-tick during US market hours — see the rank line near the top of this page. Sector ranks are computed across the actively-scored universe (~2,500 US tickers by daily $-volume) so the cohort is consistent across all the funds & etfs sector names Tapeline covers.

BFEB's Smart Money sub-score (15% of the composite) blends SEC Form 4 insider transactions, Congressional disclosures where applicable, and ETF/institutional flow signals. Detailed Form 4 history per ticker is a Premium feature; the aggregate Smart Money sub-score is shown on this page for free.

Scores re-tick every minute during US market hours. Trend and Relative Strength move with price; Momentum reflects recent rate-of-change; Macro responds to VIX, breadth, and 10Y yield shifts; Smart Money updates on filing cadence; Fundamentals on quarterly earnings cycle. Across a single trading session BFEB's composite can drift 5-15 points in either direction even without major news — that's normal factor breathing, not data error.

Yes — Pro tier gets email alerts on configurable triggers (score crosses a threshold, signal label changes, squeeze detected). Premium adds Telegram unlimited and Congressional-trade alerts. The free tier covers the top 20 tickers with a 24-hour delay; BFEB score alerts specifically require Pro or Premium since BFEB may not be in the top 20.

Finviz exposes raw filter fields — you build a thesis from the data. Tapeline synthesises six factors into one composite + a plain-English Why, so the work is done before you look at the row. Both are useful for different jobs: Finviz Elite for power-user raw-filter scans, Tapeline for daily synthesised rankings + per-pick public scorecard. Many traders use both — see /best-finviz-alternatives for the head-to-head comparison.
