This guide covers the stock-scanner workflow. TradeBeagle also includes Overnight Crypto beta for weekday nights and Saturday. Explore all three scanners and their hours.
Welcome. First mornings in the beta can feel like a lot at once — two feeds, a stream of tickers, a fairly small window of time to make sense of it. Here's what to actually expect, and the one habit worth building before your first trade.
What a normal morning looks like
The Opening Reversal Trade Scanner runs 9:30-9:59:30 AM ET; Short Reversion picks up from 10:00 AM ET and runs until 4:00 PM on regular trading days. Some mornings both feeds post several candidates. Some mornings one or both post nothing at all — and that's completely normal, not a sign anything is broken. The scanners are built to flag genuinely unusual conditions, and plenty of mornings simply don't produce any.
What a normal morning looks like: two windows, and no guarantee either one produces a flag.
The one habit worth building first: watch before you act
Before putting on real risk, spend your first several sessions just observing. Read the shortlist, pull up the charts, and see for yourself how the flagged names actually behave — without a position riding on the outcome. This does two things: it builds a feel for what these setups typically look like, and it gives you an honest sense of how often they hold up, before any of that judgment has money attached to it. The morning workflow article below is the process you'll be practicing during this stretch.
Key takeaway: your first goal isn't to catch every flag — it's to get comfortable reading one.
Where to go next
Once the shortlist and the charts start to feel familiar rather than overwhelming, the workflow article walks through the same four steps every alert goes through, and the two scanner explainers cover exactly what each feed is measuring and why.
