How It Works
STOCKIQ exists to surface stocks before they move, the way Micron, Western Digital and Sandisk all ran 1,000%+ in a year. We do that by scoring where multiple surge signals converge.
Read this before you trust any score
The Signal Score is a research screen, not advice and not a prediction. It flags unusual activity, not a forecast of future gains. Critically, it is not yet backtested or calibrated against real outcomes, so it has no proven hit rate. A high score is a reason to investigate a stock, never a reason to buy it. Until our track record shows real, resolved results, treat every score with skepticism and do your own research.
The Signal Score (0 to 100)
Each signal below adds weight. When several fire together, the score climbs and is flagged HIGH at 75+, or Moderate from 50 to 75. We never invent a signal; a stock only shows the signals actually firing on it. The model is transparent and gets stronger as more data sources (and a public track record) come online.

Worked example: Micron, early 2023
Before Micron's ~400% run, the tells were textbook: volume building well above average, the stock reclaiming its 52-week range, and a sector tailwind (AI-memory demand). A convergence model is designed to flag exactly that pattern as a Watch, then a BUY, before the move, not after. (Illustrative, not a record of a real past STOCKIQ signal.)
FAQ
A 0 to 100 measure of how many surge signals are converging on a stock right now. The higher the score, the more signals are firing together. It is informational, not a promise of future returns.
No. High (75+) means several activity signals are firing together, which is a reason to research the stock, not to buy it. The score is not backtested and is not a forecast of future gains.
No. Everything here is informational and educational only. It is a screening tool. Past performance does not indicate future results, and no signal is a price target or recommendation.
