Signum Lab is a momentum scanner and macro dashboard for active traders. Every filter on it earns its place. If it doesn't show up in a real trading day, it doesn't ship.
It screens the US market for momentum setups sector by sector, and a 171-asset crypto universe across 8 categories, then puts the supporting context (price structure, volume, fundamentals, seasonality and macro) on a single screen.
Stock scans are pulled live from NASDAQ's screener rather than a frozen ticker list, filtered by the 12 sectors and the market-cap range you pick, up to 600 names per scan. That way newly listed names appear and delisted ones drop out on their own. Crypto scans iterate a fixed universe of 171 coins, because no equivalent screener exists for that market.
The premise is narrow on purpose. Most scanners fail by offering forty indicators and no opinion about which matter. Four filters do the heavy lifting here: squeeze, volume, trend, range.
Bollinger Bands compressing inside Keltner Channels, marking volatility coiling before it expands. Explained in the squeeze guide.
Current volume measured against the 20-day average, to find where participation is arriving.
Price against the 10 and 20-day exponential moving averages, daily and weekly, for trend state.
The volatility budget, which decides how large a move an instrument can even produce.
The daily funnel. Sortable results with squeeze state, volume, EMA stack, ADR, market cap and upcoming earnings dates, in stocks or crypto.
The per-ticker read. Price and signal charts, squeeze histogram, key statistics, fundamentals from NASDAQ, seasonality and a DCA simulator.
FRED macro series (CPI, Fed funds, 10-year yields, unemployment, M2, oil, the dollar) plus a live SPX/Gold ratio as a risk-on / risk-off gauge.
The reasoning behind each filter, for traders still building the pattern library.
Run the scanner to narrow a sector down to the handful of names that meet your filters. Open the survivors on the dashboard to judge them individually. Star the ones worth watching, and they persist to your watchlist. Check the macro page when you want to know whether the broader tape is rewarding risk.
Two worked examples of the filters finding real moves: FCUV +508% on a post-split microcap squeeze and Dolby +12.55% off a 52-week low. Read them together, they show the same setup at two very different volatility profiles.
Requests are proxied server-side, so your browser never talks to those providers directly. Price data is daily resolution, and scans refresh through the session rather than streaming tick by tick. That makes this a tool for swing and position trading, not for scalping.
A fuller breakdown of who gets value from it, and who should skip it, is on the pricing page.
It started in 2025, built by a swing trader tired of bad scanners. The goal was simple: rebuild the stack used to scan the market every morning so it is actually usable. Fast, honest and free of noise.
That origin explains the design decisions. Four filters instead of forty because that is what gets used at 9am. Daily data because swing setups do not need tick data. A scanner that funnels into a dashboard because finding a name and judging it are two different jobs.
Signum Lab is a stock momentum scanner and macro dashboard for active traders. It screens US equities sector by sector, plus a 171-asset crypto universe, for technical setups (TTM Squeeze, volume surges, EMA alignment and average daily range), then shows each ticker's price signals, fundamentals, seasonality and macro context on one screen.
Traders and investors who make their own decisions and hold positions for days to months. It suits swing traders, part-time traders with limited screen time, crypto momentum traders and macro-aware investors. It is not a signal service and does not tell you what to buy.
Four core filters do the work: the TTM Squeeze (Bollinger Bands compressing inside Keltner Channels), unusual volume against the 20-day average, EMA alignment on the 10 and 20-day exponential moving averages, and average daily range (ADR) as a volatility budget. Weekly-timeframe columns provide higher-timeframe confirmation.
Public market data providers: Yahoo Finance for prices and OHLCV history, NASDAQ for the stock screener and fundamentals, CoinGecko for crypto, and the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) API for macro series. The browser never calls those providers directly, requests are proxied server-side.
No. Price history is daily-resolution data, and scans refresh through the session, roughly every 30 minutes on paid plans. It is built for swing and position trading, not for scalping or intraday execution.
There is a free tier (Scout) covering two sectors, the squeeze filter and manual refresh. Paid tiers add every filter, all 12 stock sectors and 8 crypto categories, auto-refresh, the full dashboard and macro tooling.
No. It presents public market data and technical calculations for research and education. Every trading decision, and the risk that comes with it, is yours.
