About
Built by traders who got tired of screening from scratch every night.
StockSetupLists is one of two products from Zero Vector Apps — the studio behind Trader Trainer. We make tools we use.
The hour from market close to dinner used to belong to scanners — running ten different screens against ten different filters, dragging tickers into a watchlist, building a point of view on each one. It worked, but it was repetitive, slow, and easy to skip on a busy night.
So we automated the bottom layer. A nightly pipeline runs the same six pattern detectors over the entire US universe, scores what it finds, and hands us back a ranked list before pre-market. We still form our own view on every candidate — but we form it on a clean list, not a blank screen.
We're publishing the same tool we built for ourselves. Same six setups. Same scoring. Same discipline about what the score means and, more importantly, what it doesn't.
Operating principles
How we work.
- 01
We ship our own discipline.
No "best pick of the day," no urgent intraday alerts, no push notifications. Quiet by design.
- 02
We show our work.
The methodology page is the whole methodology page. Internals stay internal; what we publish is documented in full.
- 03
We are unusually loud about what this isn't.
Education-only product. Not an adviser. Not a signal service. We say so where it matters.
- 04
We don't hype the AI.
The digest summarizes; it never picks. It runs on guard-railed prompts and a fixed structural template.

Press, feedback, missing setup type, broken link — we read everything.
