Getting Started

What Scouter is

Research and planning tools for self-directed investors — not a broker or advisor.

Scouter is a research platform for self-directed investors and traders. It brings together market data (prices, fundamentals, and news) and AI-assisted analysis so you can study upcoming catalysts and possible price scenarios before you make your own decisions.

What you can do here

  • Expected Moves — See a weekly grid of catalysts, then open a ticker for charts, news, a dated event schedule, and modeled bull/bear ranges
  • Trend Scores — Rank sectors and themes by clearance, hype, and catalyst support
  • Shortlist — Screen the market with filters (and, on Premium, plain-English search)
  • Top Ideas — Browse curated high-conviction setups from market-wide scans (full detail on Premium)
  • Starting Lineup & Bench — Keep a watchlist and, on Starter or Premium, a sized portfolio with catalyst feeds
  • Scouting Reports — Read longer research write-ups with charts

What Scouter is not

Scouter is not a broker, registered investment advisor, or trading app. It does not place orders, hold cash, or tell you to buy or sell a security. Everything you see is framed as research: ideas, setups, scenarios, modeled targets, and diligence aids. You decide whether and how to use that information.

Coverage

Scouter covers 10,000+ tickers across major U.S. exchanges — common stocks plus ETFs and mutual funds. That is the searchable universe size, not “10,000+ stocks” alone. For details by asset type, see What markets and symbols are covered?.
