Why A Daily Score Is Not Enough
A stock can look strong on the daily chart and still be poorly timed in the short term. That is why the process does not stop at the daily score.
SwiftSignals uses the daily model to find candidates, then applies a shorter-term pullback filter before a setup can move forward.
What The 30-Minute Filter Checks
The 30-minute filter is there to avoid chasing names that are too extended or losing short-term structure.
It focuses on whether the recent candles remain constructive, whether price is still close enough to the 30-minute EMA20, whether the pullback volume is acceptable, and whether short-term momentum is still supportive.
- The last candles should stay constructive
- Price should stay reasonably close to the 30-minute EMA20
- Volume during the pullback should not collapse
- The 30-minute EMA20 slope should still be rising
- MACD histogram should not be working against the setup
How It Fits Into The Full SwiftSignals Process
The sequence matters. First the stock must score at least 11 on the daily model. Then it has to pass the 30-minute pullback filter. Only then can it be classified into a tier such as A, B, C+, or C.
That helps keep the product focused on cleaner setups instead of simply sending everything that looks good on a daily chart.
Why This Matters For Traders
A good filter reduces avoidable entries. The point is not to catch every move. The point is to reduce weak timing, avoid obvious extensions, and keep trade selection more disciplined.
