🤖 Prompt of the Week
Prompt:
“Scan U.S.-listed equities for companies with: forward P/E < 25, latest two-quarter earnings surprise >10 %, and institutional accumulation over the last 10 trading days above their 50-day average. Rank top 5 by combined momentum + fundamental score.”
How to verify the results:
Run the prompt in your chosen AI/quant tool.
For each ticker returned: confirm their fundamentals (forward P/E, earnings surprise history).
Check institutional volume via filings or scanning for block trades/increased volume patterns.
Cross-check technicals: Are they forming bases or breaking out? Is support valid?
Monitor performance over the next 2-4 weeks: did the signal play out? Use outcomes to refine future scans.
🧠 Quick Take: Risk & Strategy
The broad market is stable, but upside is choppier - so favor defined risk setups.
Use stop-loss levels aggressively. If a trade breaks down, exit rather than hope.
Leverage sectors showing relative strength (e.g., financials, select biotech, cloud/AI infra) rather than chasing overly stretched momentum plays.
