FAV-BREAKOUT — FavorableStrategy signal: the stock just made a fresh 20-day-high close with quiet accumulation (OI build, controlled run-up, buying pressure). The note says whether the environment gate is ✅ live or 🔒 blocked — blocked names are still shown so you can watch them early.
FAV-PRERALLY — same FavorableStrategy accumulation, but the stock is coiled just below its 20-day high (within 3%) — hasn't broken out yet. This is the early-entry watch list: get in before the breakout.
RANGE-BREAKOUT — from the range-consolidation monitor: the stock traded in a tight box and is breaking (or has broken) out of that range on OI + volume. Distinct from the 20-day-high signal.
ZSCORE — the gamma-squeeze scanner: an unusual volume/delivery z-score spike flagged a possible squeeze setup (recent, last 7 days). A different engine from the breakout strategies.
SQUEEZE-WATCH — extreme short crowding at the lows: 3-day futures OI exploded >25% while price fell >5% to within 2% of its 20d-low. Validated precursor of short-covering pops — next-day pop odds ~2.3× base (19% vs 9%), positive 3-day drift (RF-0686). Counter-trend, lottery-profile: small size, quick exits.
A stock can carry more than one tag. Verdict (GO/MIXED/CAUTION) reads the live option walls + PCR + DEOI to say if the structure supports an entry right now — independent of which scanner flagged it.
