Scores, rockets, and first rockets

SMA vs overall scores, volume heat, and why first rockets matter (research only).

Mindset

Alerts are research signals, not buy/sell orders. Always open the Chart, scores, news — and on HK, CCASS — before acting.

SMA score vs overall score (0–10)

Borrowed from the same teaching that powered upbot:

  • SMA score — higher means price has cleared more moving-average “resistance” (cleaner uptrend structure).
  • Overall score — blends trend quality with how extended the move already is. A name that already ran hard can keep a high SMA score but a lower overall score (easy to chase).

Practical shortlist many members used historically:

  1. SMA ≥ 7 and overall ≥ 7 (“dual green / dual star” style).
  2. Even stricter: SMA ≥ overall as well (cleared levels and not fully extended).
  3. Small-caps: sometimes one amber / orange band is already rare — do not demand perfect dual stars every time.

Use Home alert pills and the Screener to hunt these combinations after the close.

Rockets, first rockets, weak

  • Rockets — strong upside / momentum-style discuss alerts. Shortlist, then verify volume, news, scores.
  • First rockets — often the first rocket-style hit in a window. Historically where many multi-month winners first “turned on” — still not a guarantee.
  • Weak — deterioration / downside style. Use to flag risk on names you hold or watch.

Trend-style emoji on some surfaces (🚀 / surfing / thinking) roughly map to price vs longer SMAs — treat as context, not a trade ticket.
