2026-04-08 · 6 min read
Live capture of Top 5 ranking output on Inveflo.
TL;DR
- • Use a fixed two-pass routine: pre-market filter, post-open confirmation.
- • Rank change is often more useful than rank level.
- • Remove unstable names fast to protect execution quality.
0) Where to Find This Widget
Start from the 12-button dashboard and open ANALYSIS_2. Top 5 output appears inside the Alpha Discovery page.
Button guide: the highlighted circle marks the target widget button.
1) What Problem This Widget Solves
Top 5 compresses the universe into a high-conviction decision set so you can spend effort on execution instead of discovery.
2) The Reading Order That Works
- Record current Top 5 with rank movement (+/-).
- Flag symbols with stable rank persistence.
- Confirm trend/volume before planning entries.
3) Practical Playbook: If X, Then Y
- • If a name enters Top 5 with strong volume, then prioritize review.
- • If rank drops out of Top 5 for 2 sessions, then downgrade priority.
- • If rank is stable and trend confirms, then move to execution plan.
4) Scoring Logic (Quant View)
SignalPriority = RankWeight × RankStability × TrendConfirmation
5) Common Mistakes
- • Blindly buying the top-ranked symbol
- • Ignoring rank turnover speed
- • Skipping post-open confirmation
