How to Read the Daily Edge
The Daily Edge follows the same ten-section structure every day. This guide explains what each section contains, what every label means and how to use the report without confusing a research verdict with an entry condition or portfolio decision.
Start the guide →One daily report, from market context to capital decision.
The Daily Edge brings together market regime, theme leadership, structural entry opportunities, catalysts, company research, both the long and short sides of the market, portfolio context and risk. It is designed to help readers move through the same decision sequence each day without treating an isolated signal as a complete trade decision.

How to use each section
The section names below are the exact names used in every Daily Edge.
Dashboard
The compressed view of the entire issue.
The current regime, key market readings, priority names, important signals and the day’s single takeaway.
It tells you what matters most before you enter the detailed sections.
Read it first. Use it as the report map, not as a substitute for the research and portfolio sections behind each conclusion.
Market Regime
The environment in which every opportunity must operate.
Price action, rates, volatility, breadth, participation, liquidity, policy and important event risk.
The regime states whether market conditions support risk-taking and how selective the desk should be.
Use the regime to set expectations before reading individual stocks. Selective Risk-On supports long exposure, but only in the strongest companies and preferred entry locations.
Theme & Leadership Map
Where market leadership and capital are concentrated now.
Leading and emerging themes, their strength, the companies participating and evidence of market confirmation.
A strong company has a better opportunity when its industry or theme is also attracting demand and capital.
Prioritize candidates connected to confirmed leadership. An attractive ticker outside a strong or emerging theme requires a higher bar.
Structural Entry Windows
Stocks currently located at one or more defined TT101 entry windows.
CoreWatch M Support, Leaders M Support, Trending M Support, favorable RR(Q), favorable RR(M), Y Support and signal convergence.
These lists identify price location and reward-to-risk opportunity. They do not by themselves confirm company quality.
Use the lists to find location first, then continue to the research sections. When several windows converge on one ticker, the location deserves greater attention—not automatic entry.
Entry Engines + Trending Flow
Current TT Swing entry signals and changes in the Trending universe.
Fresh and still-favorable RR(Q)/RR(M) signals plus New In, Direct New, Graduated and Out changes.
The entry engines identify favorable TT risk/reward. Trending Flow shows which stocks are entering, advancing through or leaving the momentum list.
Separate entry signals from discovery signals. TT Good RR can create an entry window. Direct New starts research but is not a chase signal.
Short Side
Where bearish structure and company deterioration may be developing.
Trending DOWN, M Resistance, short breadth and a check of whether weakness reflects a genuinely broken company story.
Technical weakness is stronger evidence when business momentum, FCF or the underlying thesis is also deteriorating.
Use it both for selective short research and as a warning about risk elsewhere in the market. M Resistance alone is not a complete short thesis.
Single Research Queue
One deduplicated list of all companies requiring a story check.
Candidates collected from Structural Entry Windows, Entry Engines + Trending Flow and other relevant report signals.
One stock may appear in several source lists, but it receives one consolidated research assessment.
Use the verdict and evidence to decide whether the company story supports the signal. This is where entry candidates become researched candidates rather than repeated ticker mentions.
Single Stock Deep Dive
A focused examination of the issue’s most important company/setup combination.
Theme, business momentum, revenue and cash generation, catalyst, competitive position, risks, entry location and portfolio context.
It shows why the opportunity matters now and whether recent weakness is a normal pullback or evidence of thesis deterioration.
Read the evidence behind the conclusion—not just the verdict. The purpose is to answer whether this stock is actually worth buying at the identified location.
Positions + Capital Decision
Where researched opportunities meet the existing portfolio.
Current Positions, the Actionable List and the Risk Board covering concentration, overlap, rates, events and other constraints.
A good company with a valid entry can still be a poor portfolio addition when it duplicates existing exposure or adds too much risk.
Confirm whether a candidate is Actionable, then compare it with current positions and total portfolio risk before committing capital.
Final Inference
The complete desk conclusion for the issue.
The final read on Market Regime, theme leadership, best-aligned names, favorable RR, discovery, support lists, Short Side and Positions.
It resolves the report into a concise view of what deserves attention, what requires patience and what currently presents risk.
Read it after the full issue to confirm the decision hierarchy. When time is limited, pair it with the Dashboard and Positions + Capital Decision.
Every label used in the report
These definitions explain only the vocabulary that appears in the Daily Edge.
Research and capital labels
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ACTIONABLE | The candidate has an accepted entry condition—normally M Support or favorable TT risk/reward—and has cleared the relevant research assessment. It is eligible for a capital decision, not an instruction to buy automatically. |
| POSITION | A currently held position shown for portfolio and risk context. |
| SELECT | The company and setup pass the relevant TT101 research filters. This is a research verdict, not an entry condition by itself. |
| SELECTIVE | The opportunity is credible but has an additional constraint such as cyclicality, valuation, event risk, weaker location, macro sensitivity or portfolio overlap. |
| WAIT ENTRY | The company or theme may be attractive, but an accepted TT101 entry condition is not currently present. |
Universes and market lists
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| CoreWatch | TT101’s primary liquid growth universe, built around revenue and FCF growth with the required liquidity and movement filters. |
| Leaders | Highly liquid institutional names tracked separately from CoreWatch. |
| Trending / Trending ALL | Stocks showing current market momentum and participation. It is used for discovery and flow analysis, not automatic entry. |
| Trending DOWN | Stocks meeting TT101’s bearish trend conditions. It is a short-research and risk-context list, not an automatic short instruction. |
Entry windows and TT Swing
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| M Support | A monthly structural support window used to identify an attractive price location. |
| Y Support | A rarer yearly structural support window used for longer-term location context. |
| M Resistance | A monthly structural resistance window used in the Short Side assessment. It requires company-level confirmation before becoming a stronger short thesis. |
| TT Swing | TT101’s entry and position-management engine for directional state, favorable reward-to-risk, breakout/hold status and changes in the setup. |
| RR(Q) | The TT Swing quarterly reward-to-risk reading. |
| RR(M) | The TT Swing monthly reward-to-risk reading. |
| TT Good RR | A TT Swing state in which potential reward relative to defined risk has turned favorable enough to deserve attention. |
| Fresh favorable RR | A reward-to-risk condition that has newly turned favorable in the current issue. |
| Still favorable RR | A favorable reward-to-risk condition that began earlier and remains active. |
| Convergence | One ticker appearing in more than one valid entry window or universe, increasing the importance of the location without making entry automatic. |
Trending Flow
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| New In | A stock that has newly entered Trending ALL, regardless of the route it took into the list. |
| Direct New | A New In stock that entered Trending without first appearing in the monitored structural support window. It is a discovery and research trigger—not a chase signal. |
| Graduated | A stock that moved from an earlier support/discovery state into a more advanced trend state. Graduation is a change in location, not automatically an exit or a new entry. |
| Out | A stock that has left Trending ALL. This is a flow change, not automatically a sell instruction. |
Dashboard readings
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regime | The report’s conclusion about the market environment and the appropriate level of aggressiveness or defense. |
| QM+ | The number and percentage of Trending names with a positive quarterly/monthly structural state. |
| TS Active | The number and percentage of Trending names with an active TT Swing state. |
| RV | Relative volume—a participation measure comparing current trading activity with its normal baseline. |
| Turnover | The total traded dollar value represented by the monitored list, used as a measure of market activity and participation. |
| FCF | Free cash flow: cash generated after the capital spending required to operate and grow the business. |
