About FinVigilante
A letter on classical chart pattern setups in US stocks, after every market close. Found by code, read by a person, sent before the open.
What it is
Every evening after the close, a scanner we wrote reads about 2,000 US-listed names and looks for five things: inverse head and shoulders, rectangles, ascending triangles, breakouts over a prior high, and re-tests of a recent breakout. Each one that passes the rules is published with the line that matters, the trigger that confirms it, the stop by the Last Day Rule, the measured-move target, and the level that says the pattern failed. Weekly and daily charts for every name. A person reads the list before it goes out and cuts anything that doesn't look right.
The list has memory. Each post opens with what changed since the night before: what confirmed, what reached its target, what failed and at what level. On Sundays, a free recap shows how the week's setups resolved, so the record is public whether it flatters us or not.
Why it exists
We wanted a screener's consistency with a chartist's discipline: the same written rules, applied to every stock after every close, published where anyone can read them. The method, with the source of each rule, is on the How it works page. The patterns are classical charting, from Edwards & Magee to Peter Brandt; the code is ours.
Who writes it
FinVigilante is written by Alex Sanchez-Axline, a swing trader in Dayton, Ohio, who built the scanner for her own trade journal and decided the list was worth sharing.
What it costs
Cancel any time. Prices may change as the letter grows. Any change applies to new members right away and to existing members at their next renewal, and we will email paid members before it takes effect.
What it is not
Not investment advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and we don't know your situation. A setup is a place where the risk is defined; whether to take it is yours to decide. Levels are from the last close and can be gone by the open.
