About Stock Pulse — How Our Small-Cap Signals & Post-Mortems Work
How Stock Pulse works: an app that pushes real-time alerts on small-cap and penny-stock moves, plus honest post-mortems showing every winner and every fade.
What Stock Pulse is
Stock Pulse is a phone app. It watches US markets in real time and pushes a notification the moment an unusual small-cap or penny-stock move starts. There's no newsletter to read and no dashboard to babysit. You get a ticker, a price, and the time it fired. What you do with that is your call.
The scanning is automated. Software watches thousands of tickers for the kind of volume and price behavior that usually shows up right before a fast move, and when the pattern trips, the alert goes out in under a second on iOS and Android. That's the whole product: a fast, honest heads-up that something is happening.
What a "signal" is
A signal is one alert. When the scanner flags a ticker, it records three things: the symbol, the price at that instant, and the timestamp. That price is the anchor for everything that follows. When we later say a stock ran 40% or gave it all back, we mean from the alert price at the alert time, not from some prettier number picked after the fact.
Most of these are thin, low-float names. A stock with a few hundred thousand shares floating can double on a couple hundred thousand dollars of buying, and it can unwind just as fast. Signals catch the start of that. They don't promise the finish.
How these post-mortems get made
Every alert can become a write-up on this site. We pull the intraday chart, the volume, the float, and whatever news actually crossed, then explain what moved the stock and how the day ended. The feed of every post-mortem lives here, and each ticker keeps its own history hub.
We write up the ones that worked and the ones that didn't. HAO ran to $2.11 before breakfast and closed down 80% after a dilution offering hit the tape. JZXN squeezed on a 1.25M-share float and finished the day back at the alert price, to the penny. Those aren't cherry-picked disasters. It's just what small-cap momentum does most days, and pretending otherwise would make the whole record useless.
How we measure it
Two numbers, always. The peak, so you can see how far the move ran, and the close, so you can see what was left by the bell. Gains are measured from the alert price. The fade is never hidden. If a stock round-tripped, the round trip is the story. If it held, we say that too.
This is the part most alert services quietly skip. It's easy to screenshot the top tick and go silent on the rest. Showing the give-back on every post is slower and a lot less flattering, and it's the only version of a track record worth trusting.
What this site is not
- Not a newsletter, and not a stock-picking service.
- Not tips, calls, or "buy here, sell there."
- Not predictions. We describe what already happened. We don't forecast what's next.
Stock Pulse tells you a stock is moving. Whether that's an opportunity, a trap, or just noise is a judgment only you can make, with your own money and your own tolerance for risk. Nothing here is investment advice, and we are not a broker-dealer.
Where the data comes from
The alerts run on live US market data. The post-mortems reference financial news from wires and outlets such as Benzinga and StockTitan for the filings, offerings, and headlines that explain a move, plus market data for prices, volume, and float. When a figure is an estimate or reflects reverse-split history, we flag it in the post instead of smoothing it over.
The house view: most of these spikes are mechanical, not magical. Thin floats, momentum, and dilution do the heavy lifting. We name that plainly, show the whole day including the part that stings, and leave the decision where it belongs — with you.
