The Setup

AI has completely changed the trading landscape. What used to require Bloomberg terminals and years of screen time is now accessible to anyone. This guide walks through the exact workflow — from screening the entire market to building a trade plan with defined risk.

What the AI Found

  1. 1.Screened for medium-volatility stocks with good volume and early trend signals. Filtered down to 5 candidates showing the right characteristics for swing trading.
  2. 2.Pulled 1-month price charts for all 5 and ran technical analysis across each. Scored them on MA alignment, RSI momentum, MACD direction, ADX trend strength, volume confirmation, and Bollinger Band positioning.
  3. 3.The top candidate scored 92/100 on the technical scorecard. Perfect moving average alignment, RSI in the bullish zone but not overbought, and volume confirming the trend.
  4. 4.Generated 3 distinct trade setups with different risk profiles. The best one had a 2.1:1 risk-reward ratio with clear technical support for the stop loss level.

The Trade

For the top candidate, Xynth builds actual trade setups — entry, stop loss, take profit, position sizing, risk/reward ratio. Everything calculated and visualized on the chart before you enter.

The Result

The AI doesn't replace your judgment — it accelerates the research that would take hours into minutes. Start wide, narrow progressively, end with a single actionable trade. That's the framework.

The Prompt

Find me stocks that are good for day trading. I want:
- Medium volatility (ATR between 4-5%)
- Good daily volume (over 500K shares)
- Early trend strength (price within 0-10% of 20-day SMA)

Show me the top 20 results.

For the top 20, pull their 1-month price charts and run technical analysis on each one. Score them on moving average alignment, RSI, MACD, ADX, volume, and Bollinger Bands. Show me the top 5 ranked by total score.

For the #1 candidate, run a deep technical analysis and check for recent news, upcoming earnings, or analyst activity.

Then build me a trade setup with entry price, stop loss, target, expected duration, position size for a $1,000 account, dollar P&L, and risk-reward ratio. Visualize it on the price chart with entry, stop, and target levels marked.
