Market Scanner
Tide Trader is a stock market scanner and trading report dashboard built around one practical goal: help active traders spend less time digging through scattered information and more time reviewing structured market context. It scans market data for potential setups and organizes candidates into reports with entry references, Conservative / Moderate / Stretch exits, Stop Ref, ATR context, confidence, and phase or risk context.
The scanner reflects a Quality Engineer operating mindset: reduce noise, surface where attention may be needed, preserve audit visibility, and use backtesting feedback to keep improving the review flow.

The goal is not to replace chart review or judgment. It is to make the research process faster, cleaner, and easier to scan before a trader makes the final decision.
What This Scanner Tries To Do
Why It Matters
Beach Forecast is the public sector heat map built to narrow attention toward the sectors where long, short, or choppy conditions may be showing up first, with five weekday updates from pre-market through the afternoon session.
Once sector context is clearer, the platform is meant to highlight the names worth deeper review instead of forcing traders to pour through a much larger list manually.
Tide, Wave, Horizon, and Raft keep different timing profiles from collapsing into one oversized watchlist, which makes the overall scan flow easier to review quickly.
Ranked ideas, entry references, Stop Ref, ATR context, Conservative / Moderate / Stretch exits, confidence, phase and risk context, event labels, and broader tables stay in the same review flow so the trader can compare setups more efficiently.
How The Scan Works
The scan usually starts with Market Tone and Beach Forecast. The heat map refreshes at 8:15 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM CT so the sector read can stay useful through the market day.
From there, traders can move into The Sandbox for a sector-specific view of existing report-family setup data, or into the report lane that fits the setup or holding period they care about.
Equity Scan Lanes
Overnight Continuation
Built for traders who want a cleaner overnight review lane for next-day continuation-style ideas.
Same-Session Flow
Built for traders who want a more active intraday lane with tighter timing and same-session opportunity flow.
Leadership Focus
A selective big-board leadership branch for reviewing Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, and Dow leadership names instead of scanning the full equity universe every time.
Calmer Multi-Day Long Holds
Built primarily for more selective multi-day long holds and a lower-touch stock review flow with less screen-time pressure.
Time-Saving Features
The broader tables keep the fuller ranked view visible, which matters for traders who want more than a single alert or one top ticker at a time.
As part of the stock scanner workflow, cards make the strongest setups faster to scan by keeping entry references, Stop Ref, Conservative / Moderate / Stretch exits, return context, ATR, confidence, and phase or risk context together in one compact block.
Lighthouse Search helps members look up a ticker across the latest Tide Trader report family, while Crest Exit Tool helps map structured exit references from an actual entry price. The free Scout member tool helps members see what is surfacing without reopening everything one by one.
Dawn Breaker — Premarket Gap Report organizes meaningful premarket gaps above and below the previous regular-session close. Swell highlights persistent extended trends, while Tsunami separately identifies recent excessive upside and downside movement after it occurs. These are decision-support context reports, not reversal predictions, trade signals, or personalized financial advice.
Earnings labels, phase context, and risk framing help traders avoid reading every setup the same way when the character of the trade may be different.
