How tickerseer Works

Everything you need to understand the platform: the key metrics, the feature guide, the options framework, and the risk rules.

№ 01

From raw data to confident trade.

Three steps from scan to action, backed by the same metrics institutional analysts use.

01
Scan the Universe

tickerseer tracks 1,000+ U.S.-traded stocks. After each weekly data refresh it re-rates them on valuation and expected return, and on quality where a company has a quality score. The rest of the 1,137 stocks listed on tickerseer update as new data comes in, not on that weekly schedule.

02
Surface the Setups

A multi-factor ranking engine flags undervalued growth candidates, catalyst signals, and earnings opportunities ranked by conviction tier, Tier 0 through Tier 3.

03
Act With Confidence

Each alert includes the valuation math, analyst scorecard history, and options structure guidance: the full case in one place, so you can judge the setup, the timing, and the risk yourself.

Understanding the numbers.

Seven figures recur across the platform. Here is what each one means and how to read it.

SeerAI Score
tickerseer's primary 0–100 composite signal. It blends estimated annual return, valuation, quality, PEG ratio, and analyst accuracy into a single ranking. ≥65 is a Bull signal; ≤35 is a Bear signal.
Quality Score
A 0–100 quality grade built from five fundamentals: profitability, cash flow, financial strength, growth, and earnings predictability. It measures business health, not a buy/sell signal.
Blended P/E & PEG Ratio
PEG = Blended P/E ÷ Forecasted Growth Rate. PEG < 1.5 signals undervalued growth; PEG > 3.5 is a red flag.
Estimated Annual ROR
Modeled return if the stock reverts to its historical normal P/E over 3–5 years. Above +20% is a strong buy signal; below −15% is a strong short candidate.
Overvaluation %
(Blended P/E ÷ Historical Normal P/E − 1) × 100. Positive = overvalued; negative = undervalued relative to the stock's own history.
Price at Normal P/E
Close × Historical Normal P/E ÷ Blended P/E: the share price the stock would trade at on its historical normal multiple, using the blended earnings behind its current P/E. It is dated to the close it was measured against and rounded, because that close is matched to the P/E after the fact. Inside the app, the valuation chart draws the same multiple on the last reported year of earnings, so its dollar level differs, and differs more for a company whose earnings are growing. It is a valuation reference, not a price target.
Analyst Scorecard
Tracks how often analysts Beat, Hit, or Missed EPS estimates over 1- and 2-year windows. High beat rates signal a management team that consistently over-delivers.

Structure selection & risk rules.

The rules below govern every options play tickerseer surfaces: how a structure is chosen, and how conviction translates to position size.

Structure Selection
High conviction bull + high IV → call spread  ·  High conviction bull + low IV → long call  ·  Income play → short put  ·  Overvalued + high IV → put spread.
No Naked Long Options
Every long option requires a short leg. If a spread can't be structured at acceptable debit, skip the trade.
Max Debit ≤ 40% of Spread Width
On a $15-wide spread, max net debit = $6. Above that the risk/reward is broken, so skip the trade.
Min Credit ≥ 20% of Spread Width
On a $15-wide spread, min net credit = $3. Below that the premium does not pay for the risk, so narrow the spread or skip it.
Fallback Plays
If fewer than two plays clear these rules in a week, we may add up to two Tier 3 bull put spreads at a 15% credit floor. Each needs its short strike at or beyond the implied move and a width of at least $2.50. Its card carries a Fallback play badge, and its row on the track record is marked Fallback.
GTC Close at 50% Loss
When opening any spread, immediately place a GTC order to close at 50% of max loss. Never wait for expiration on a losing spread.
30-Day Cooling Period
If a spread on ticker X closes at a loss, that ticker is off-limits for 30 days. No reloading the same directional thesis.

How much to risk per trade.

Every signal is assigned a conviction tier that maps directly to a maximum dollar risk per position.

CONVICTION TIERS & MAX RISK
TierSignalMax risk
Tier 0Rare, highest-conviction setup$1,500 / trade
Tier 1Strong signal$3,500 / trade
Tier 2Good signal$2,500 / trade
Tier 3Speculative$2,000 / trade

Total portfolio risk on active earnings plays: ≤ $9,000. A tier is a ceiling on conviction, not on the spread: a play must be funded to buy one contract at its own strikes, so a wide play may be sized above its tier. When the week cannot fund every play that way, the lowest-conviction ones are dropped rather than underfunded.
