One score for every stock, from its financials, its insiders, and its trend.

The count is how many of the 14 chart checks are firing right now, shown out of 14. Two are opposites (heavy volume and quiet volume), so at most 13 fire at once, and the checks add 0 to 13 points. Every card carries a bar for it, lit from the left, and the stock's page breaks the same count into a meter for each group. Every check applies the same rule, on every stock, every 15 seconds. So you get a straight reading instead of an indicator you have to interpret. The checks fall into four groups. Nine or more firing at once is rare. Some checks are marked predictive. A separate flag marks a squeeze setup. It is built from short interest, meaning the shares bet against a stock. It also uses days to cover, which is how long it would take to buy those shares back. Every check has a page in the learn section.

A stock's card: see the picture big

Breakaway scores 3,179 US stocks that trade enough each day, small and micro caps included. It refreshes them every 15 seconds while the market is open. Two things go into that score. First, the 14 chart checks, run and read for you. You never have to work out what on-balance volume, an anchored VWAP, or a Bollinger and Keltner squeeze means. Second, the facts hardly anyone puts beside a chart. Those are trades by members of Congress and government officials, insider buys, the big funds that own the stock, earnings reactions, and scored news. The long-term trend, company size, profit, sales and margins, share dilution, cash flow, and a score that has held up go in as well. So does the run-up, which is how far the stock has already climbed. That mix puts large, profitable companies in lasting trends at the top of the grid. It all comes out as one number and one word on every card. From there you get up to five years of Quality Score history. Breakaway leaves the decisions to you. All of it works the same on your phone.

The grid is ranked by the Quality Score. It starts from the check count, then adds and subtracts points. A long-term trend that has lasted is worth up to four points. A stock that is down over both one and two years gives back up to three. Size counts too. A mega cap earns two points, a large cap earns one, and a micro cap gives one back. Run-up is the gain a stock has already made over the last six to twelve months. It is worth two points for a stock up 100% over a year, or up 60% over six months. It is worth one point at 30% over six months. A stock that has traded less than six months gets nothing here. A company that makes money earns one point, and a company losing money gives one back, read from its SEC filings over the last four quarters, or the last full year when no quarters are filed. Growing sales and widening margins add points. Heavy share dilution, big daily swings the business does not back, and cash burn take points off. Then come the three scored signals: news and 8-K filings, insider buying, and government filings. The big funds that own the stock are shown beside all of it for context, and they are never scored.

The idea is simple. A large, profitable company breaking out has earnings, index-fund money, and big institutions behind the move. So it ranks above a small, lightly traded stock with the same chart. Totals read Poor below zero, Below Average from 0, Average from 6, Above Average from 11, Excellent from 15, and Exceptional from 20. Every stock page shows the sum part by part, with the evidence behind each point. You can check the whole thing yourself.

Where the Quality Score comes from, and how it differs from analyst ratings and letter grades: What is a quality score for stocks? and Stock ratings explained.

One part of the score rewards persistence, which means a score that lasts. A stock that has held a high score for weeks earns two points when the middle score of its last twenty recorded days is 12 or more. It earns one point at 9 or more. With fewer than ten days on record it earns nothing here. This part is never negative, so a stock that broke out today does not lose points for being new.

Every stock page charts its Quality Score in a pane under the price, as far back as five years, recorded once a day, and a strip shows the check count for the last sixty sessions. A stock that has ranked highly for a month looks different from one that arrived this morning. This is the same history the persistence part of the score is measured on.

The score's history: see the picture big

Every open-⁠market buy and sell from an SEC Form 4, picked up within hours of filing. A buy is weighted by its size and by the role of the buyer. Selling counts too. One sale near the 52-⁠week high barely moves the score, though a long run of them adds up. A chosen sale into the 52-⁠week low pulls the score down and the card says why in plain words, like "The CEO is selling into the 52-⁠week low". Sales set up months in advance under a 10b5-⁠1 plan are ignored.

The Insiders and Congress page reads the filings across the whole market instead of one stock at a time. It shows every open-market buy and sell from an SEC Form 4, with the person, their role, the value, the price paid, and a link to the form. Insider rows also tag a trade made near the 52-week low and say when the filing was for options rather than shares. You pick the window: 7 or 30 days. Every row carries that stock's Quality Score, check count, and trend label, so you read the signal next to the Quality Score. Insiders know their own company, and all of it is scored into the Quality Score already, so this page is where you read it, not where you have to work it out.

Trades that members of Congress and executive-⁠branch officials have to report, read from the Senate and House disclosure sites and the Office of Government Ethics, the official filings themselves. Each trade is weighted by the dollar range disclosed, and in the account it links to the filing it came from. The trade date and the disclosure date both show, because members have up to 45 days to file.

The STOCK Act makes every trade report public, and both chambers publish them for free. Breakaway reads them at the source. Senate trades come from the Senate's electronic filing site. House trades come from the Clerk of the House, which posts a report for every filing. No data vendor sits between you and either chamber. Executive-branch officials file the same kind of report with the Office of Government Ethics, the OGE Form 278-T, and those disclosures are carried too, the president's reported trades included, each one with a link to its source. The feed is checked every hour. A filing that is only a scanned paper form, in either chamber, counts once a machine reader has read it, and each row is checked before it counts; a row that fails a check is left out rather than guessed at. In the account, every row on the Insiders and Congress page and on the stock page links back to the filing, so you can open the document yourself.

Scoring is plain. A purchase in the last 60 days earns points. Anything older is ignored. The points come from the dollar range the filing discloses: a range under $15,000 is worth the least, $50,000 more, $100,000 more again, and anything over $500,000 the most. That number then fades with age. A month after the trade it is worth about a third of what it started at. A trade by someone on a short list of closely followed filers counts for a little more. Sales work the same way and subtract instead of add. A disclosed holding, meaning a position the filing says is still held, counts as a small standing bonus. That bonus does not fade, and it can reach the full three points when the filer is the president or a name the market follows closely. The whole government leg is capped at two points either way, or three when a closely followed filer such as Pelosi or the president is among the filings, so no single filing can carry a stock. A filer who moves more than 40 names in the window is rebalancing a portfolio, not picking a stock, so each of those trades counts only a sliver. Because the trade adds to the rest of the score, a Senator's buy in a stock with a strong chart ranks above the same buy in a broken one.

The Government tab on the Insiders and Congress page shows trades reported by members of Congress and by executive-branch officials, with the trade date, the disclosure date, the dollar range they disclosed and a link to each filing. You pick the window: 30, 90, or 180 days. Members have up to 45 days to report a trade, so a disclosure is often weeks behind the trade itself. Both dates are shown on every row for that reason. Amounts arrive as ranges, never exact figures, because that is what the forms ask for. A disclosed trade tells you what someone did in the past. It is a signal with a lag, not a reason to buy or sell, and Breakaway is not an adviser.

The Earnings page lists every company in the scan that has reported, with the date, the gap it opened on, the reaction by the close and where it stood five sessions later. A Coming up tab shows who reports next, with how the stock took its last few reports beside each name. That page covers the last 14 or 30 days, your pick. Report dates come from the 8-K filings companies send to EDGAR themselves. Every row carries that stock's Quality Score, check count, and trend label. The reaction to a report is what the market decided about it.

We read five days of headlines for every stock and score the ones where the company is the subject: FDA approvals, raised forecasts, takeovers, insider buys. The 8-⁠K filings companies send the SEC are read the same way, within hours of filing. Share offerings that dilute owners and failed drug trials count against a stock. An earnings beat or a raised forecast keeps counting for twenty days, weighted by how far the stock moved on the report.

You get eleven chart timeframes, from one day to the stock's whole history. Draw the bars four ways: a line, candles, hollow candles, or Heikin Ashi. Put the price axis on a log scale when the stock has doubled, so equal percent moves take equal height. Turn on extended hours to add the pre-market and after-hours bars to the intraday, 3-day, and 1-week views. On the chart you can turn on the 8, 21, 50, and 200-day EMAs (the four the score reads, marked in the menu), the 50 and 200-day SMAs, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, anchored VWAP, and Fibonacci retracements across the bars in view. Under it you can stack panes for RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, and strength against the S&P 500. Key levels and the 52-week high draw as lines at their prices, and markers for insider buys and sells pin to the bars they happened on. The 52-week high and the insider trades show from the start. Turn on Government trades and a square marks each buy or sale a member of Congress or the White House disclosed, on the day it was traded, with the amount as filed and the day it was filed. Switch on the earnings toggle and an amber E sits under every session the company reported, with the gap it opened on and where it stood five sessions later. Drag across the plot, or put two fingers on it, to measure the move over any span. You get the percent, the dollars, the number of sessions, and the high and low inside it. The chart remembers what you turned on. While the market is open, the price and the bid and ask refresh every 15 seconds, and the intraday charts every 30. The price flashes when a new trade comes in. The whole page works with a thumb, so you can pull it up anywhere.

Under the chart you get key stats and the score, part by part. Then the stock is ranked against its industry rivals by Quality Score, with related companies from the data provider beside them. Then come financials from the latest filing: revenue and its growth, gross and net margin, earnings per share, price to earnings, price to sales, and free cash flow. Each one is dated to the filing it came from. After that you get how the stock reacted to recent earnings, insider transactions, and government filings from Congress and the executive branch with the holdings they disclose. Below that sit the big funds that own it, then a news feed with catalysts and 8-K filings, and splits and dividends.

Every ticker shows which notable funds hold it, straight from their latest 13F filings, the quarterly holdings reports funds file with the SEC. Fifteen managers are covered: Bridgewater, Appaloosa, Berkshire Hathaway, Duquesne, Pershing Square, Scion, and nine more. New positions, adds, cuts, and exits are marked against the quarter before. A 13F lands up to 45 days after the quarter ends, so it is context, it never touches the score, and the page says how old the filing is.

A stock's page on a phone: see the picture big

The market panel sits at the top of the scanner. It shows the S&P 500, how many stocks are rising, counts of 52-week highs and lows, and stocks trading on unusual volume. It also shows who reports earnings this week, the Fed, CPI and jobs calendar, and market-wide headlines. Lists cover the Fresh list, gainers, losers, unusual volume, new highs, most volatile, gap ups (stocks that open sharply higher) and squeeze setups. Quick filters cover your watchlist, small caps, biotech, news catalysts, notable holders, government buys, insider buying, squeeze setups, earnings this week, and 7+ checks. Beside them sit a minimum Quality Score field and your saved scans. A separate movers page covers the whole market with the reason for each move. A stock has to trade at 10 cents or more, and $250,000 or more in a day, so penny stocks are in it too. An optional morning digest email at 9:35 Eastern carries the morning's inflation or jobs read, the top names by Quality Score, the pre-market moves of 3% or more, breadth from the last session and who reports this week.

Industries sits under the market map. Every industry with at least four scored names is ranked by the average Quality Score of its members. Each row shows how many names were scored, the share of them trending up, the share above the 200-day average price, the average move over a day, a month, and a quarter, and the three highest scores in the industry. Sort by any column. Tap an industry and the scanner opens filtered to it. An Industry filter sits beside Sector in the toolbar as well, and it lives in the web address, so a filtered scan is a link you can save or send.

Top ten history keeps the Quality Score in the open. Every session Breakaway writes down the ten stocks with the highest score. This page lists every recorded session, newest first, with that day's ten names and the Quality Score each one ended the day on. Tap a symbol to open the stock. The ten are written down every session, the sessions that went badly included. Scores from before the September 2026 scoring update were restated on the current formula, using only the filings public on each day, and scores from before the October 2026 update were restated on its rules, from each day's prices. Nothing is picked with hindsight. It is a plain record of what the scanner ranked highest on each day. It is past behavior, not a forecast, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

Prices, quotes, and financials come from Massive, formerly Polygon. Filings come from SEC EDGAR, and government filings from House, Senate, and executive-branch disclosures.

• The Congress feed

  Congress trades come straight from the Senate and House disclosure sites, not from a vendor. Executive-branch officials file the same kind of report with the Office of Government Ethics, and those are read too, the president's reported trades included. Every row gives the person, the chamber or office, the dollar range disclosed, the trade date beside the disclosure date, and a link to the filing. The trade is scored into the Quality Score, worth up to two points either way, or three when a closely followed filer such as Pelosi or the president is among them. The Insiders and Congress page lists them across the whole market with each stock's Quality Score beside them. Reports run up to 45 days late, so treat it as a signal with a lag.

• The Quality Score

  Every stock carries a Quality Score badge. It starts from the chart checks. Then it adds points for a long-term trend, real size, real profit, and growing sales with widening margins. It takes points off for heavy share dilution, big daily swings the business does not back, and cash burn. It also adds the run-up, meaning the gain already made over six and twelve months, plus the outside signals. A large, profitable company breaking out ranks above a small, lightly traded one with the same chart. Every ticker page shows where the stock stands among companies like it.

• A plan on every ticker

  You get an entry above the prior high and a stop below the 21 EMA or the swing low. Targets sit at 2 and 3 times the average daily range. The share count is sized to the dollars you are willing to risk. Type in your own entry or stop and the rest recalculates. The levels are drawn on the chart. They are starting levels for you to edit, and none of it is advice.

• The official filings, read for you

  Insider buys and sells come from SEC Form 4 filings. Earnings dates come from the 8-K filings companies send to EDGAR. Breakaway reads both within hours of filing, links every row back to the filing, and folds them into the Quality Score. The Insiders and Congress page puts insider and government filings on two tabs, each row beside that stock's Quality Score, and the Earnings page does the same for reports.

• Top ten history: the ten highest scores at each session's close, kept as a plain record

  Every session Breakaway writes down the ten stocks with the highest Quality Score. The history lists every session, newest first, with that day's ten names and the score each one ended the day on. Scores from before the September 2026 scoring update were restated on the current formula, using only the filings public on each day, and scores from before the October 2026 update were restated on its rules, from each day's prices. Nothing is picked with hindsight. Tap any symbol to open the stock. It is a record of what already happened, not a promise about tomorrow.

• Alerts that do the watching

  Alerts are optional. Turn any of them off in one tap. A push or an email when a stock crosses a score or gaps up before the open, or the moment there is major news on it or its group. Alerts also fire on a squeeze setup, meaning a heavily shorted stock that is starting to move, or on a price level you set. Two market alerts are on from the start: one on a day the S&P 500 moves 1% or more, at most once a day, and one when the VIX, a measure of expected market swings, goes above 25, at most once a week. Each kind of alert has a switch on the Alerts page. Opt in and a morning digest lands at 9:35 with the top names by Quality Score. On an iPhone, add Breakaway to your Home Screen first (tap Share, then Add to Home Screen) and push works from there.

And that is still not all of it. Also inside:

• A Fresh list of what changed today
• Pre-market and after-hours movers from 4 AM

• A sector table with the middle stock's return in each sector
• Saved scans you can reapply and set an alert on
• Insider selling into the 52-week low, named on the card and counted
• A measure tool: drag the chart to read the move over any span
• Four chart styles, line, candles, hollow, and Heikin Ashi, and a log scale

• Panes for RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, and strength against the S&P 500
• Fibonacci retracements across the bars in view
• Eleven timeframes, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, and anchored VWAP
• Financials from the latest filing, splits, and ex-dividend dates
• Alerts on price levels, RSI, MACD crosses, and new highs

• A morning digest at 9:35 Eastern, with the 8:30 inflation or jobs number read for you
• Watchlist notes, billing, and signed-in devices

The complete list is on the pricing page, and all of it comes with the one plan.
