Release Notes

Every meaningful change to the site or the editorial content gets a note here. Newest first.

V4.0
2026-06-05
  • Nasdaq 100 added as a second universe. Every name has a live stock detail page (same chart + signal as bottleneck names), and the Analysis tab now spans two views — Bottleneck Analysis and Nasdaq 100 Analysis — with a one-click toggle between them.
  • Bottleneck Analysis is now the site’s home page. Visiting / redirects there; the legacy issue front still lives at /bottlenecks (reachable from the new Bottlenecks ▾ dropdown).
  • Sector pages restructured into one long scroll. All chokepoints stack vertically; a sticky chip strip up top doubles as a jump-nav, smooth-scrolling on click and auto-highlighting as you read. Each stock condenses into a compact row with an expandable price chart.
  • Legacy /sector/<sector>/choke/<choke> URLs now redirect to the anchor on the new single-page sector view.
  • Editorial Bull / Bear / Watch fields removed from every stock — the live signal block (Power Trend, RSI, distance-from-21EMA, etc.) is the single source of ‘why does this look the way it does.’
  • New batch quote endpoint (/api/quotes-batch) replaces 70+ per-row fetches with one round trip — cuts sector-page load on cold cache by roughly an order of magnitude.
  • Top nav split-dropdowns: Analysis ▾ and Bottlenecks ▾ each link to their index AND open a menu (universes / sectors). Search and Buy-Me-a-Coffee stay on the right rail.

Mechanical price-math only — never investment advice. Auto-refreshes every 15 minutes. The Nasdaq-100 constituent list is hand-maintained; expect a quarterly refresh.

V3.0
2026-06-02
  • Analysis page restructured around three questions (Best entry, Just turned up, Constructive pullbacks) instead of separate Buy / Watch tabs — each row carries its own BUY/WATCH chip.
  • New sector filter at the top — multi-select chips per sector, plus High growth (3m ≥ 20%) and Emerging (1m ≥ 10%) preset shortcuts. Replaces the old sector / chokepoint dropdowns.
  • Tightened Buy gates: dropped the redundant '8% from 52-week high' test, added a '≤10% from 21-day EMA' chase guard, and added a '3-month return ≥ universe median' relative-performance gate. Names that lag the universe get demoted to Watch with an explicit reason.
  • Removed the sector-weighting toggle — sector composition is now controlled explicitly by the filter chips, no hidden ranking tilt.
  • Rank-blend weights calibrated to quant / practitioner literature (Weinstein, Minervini, Shannon, O'Neil/IBD): Just turned up adds a 20% 21-EMA-slope factor; Constructive pullbacks weights slope at 40% because the thesis depends on a rising line.
  • Lists expanded to 20 names per section, with 'Show all' to see the full pool. Sector-strength leaderboard switched to absolute medians so chip and table numbers always match.

Mechanical price-math only — never investment advice. Auto-refreshes every 15 minutes.

V2.0
2026-05-29
  • New Analysis tab — a live, rules-based read of every tradable name in the research, grouped into Buy and Watch.
  • Buy is sorted by Best entry (closeness to the 21-day EMA) and Just turned up (freshest uptrends); Watch by Best entry and Constructive pullbacks.
  • Rankings factor in sector strength (each sector's recent median return vs. the universe) and favor still-rising trends over sideways stalls.
  • Sector strength leaderboard, plus Sector and Chokepoint filters that narrow every list.
  • Plain-English explainer, glossary, and the exact rules behind every label; price charts now include a 21-day EMA and a clear legend.

The Analysis page reads live prices (15-minute refresh) and is purely mechanical — not investment advice.

V1.0
2026-05-27
