Readiness Scores
Two intelligent 0–10 signals that tell you when to buy your next beat and when to consider taking profit.
📈 Buy Readiness (Next Beat Readiness)
| Signal | Max Points | How it's calculated |
|---|---|---|
| Distance to next beat | 0–5 pts | How close the live price is to the next beat target price. At or past the target = 5 pts. Within 2% = 4 pts. Within 5% = 3 pts. Within 10% = 2 pts. Within 20% = 1 pt. More than 20% away = 0 pts. |
| RSI context | 0–3 pts | For buy strategies: RSI ≤ 30 (oversold) = 3 pts. ≤ 40 = 2 pts. ≤ 50 = 1 pt. For sell strategies: RSI ≥ 70 (overbought) = 3 pts. ≥ 60 = 2 pts. ≥ 50 = 1 pt. |
| Short-term trend | 0–2 pts | Is the live price moving towards the next beat level? If price is below entry for a buy strategy = 2 pts (trending in the right direction). Otherwise = 0 pts. |
🚪 Exit Readiness
| Signal | Max Points | How it's calculated |
|---|---|---|
| Proximity to 52W High | 0–5 pts | At or above 52W high = 5 pts. Within 3% = 4 pts. Within 8% = 3 pts. Within 15% = 2 pts. Within 25% = 1 pt. Further away = 0 pts. |
| RSI overbought | 0–3 pts | RSI ≥ 70 (classic overbought) = 3 pts. ≥ 65 = 2 pts. ≥ 60 = 1 pt. Below 60 = 0 pts. |
| Position P&L health | 0–2 pts | Only rewards comfortable profits — avoids flagging panic exits. P&L ≥ 20% = 2 pts. ≥ 10% = 1 pt. Below 10% or a loss = 0 pts. |
Where to find Readiness Scores
Strategy Calculator
The core of Stock Beat Pro. Build a beat-based execution plan for any stock or ETF.
Step 1 — Choose Asset
Step 2 — Define Strategy
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Asset Type | Stocks / ETFs for price-based beat strategy, or Cash to track a cash holding. |
| Direction | Buy (Flat) — equal capital per beat. Buy (Progressive) — increasing capital per beat. Sell (Distribute) — selling tranches as price rises. |
| Category | Label the position: Buy & Hold, Speculative, or Cash. Used for dashboard filtering. |
| Base Amount | Total capital to deploy across all beats. Select the base currency from the adjacent dropdown. |
| Trades (Beats) | Number of tranches. More beats = smaller steps, more frequent entries. |
| Progress Tracking | How many beats have already executed. This shifts the "active" beat marker in the plan table. |
Step 3 — Market Pricing
Market Px — uses the current live price as Beat 1.
52W Low — uses the 52-week low as Beat 1 and fans steps upward from there. Useful when the price is already near its low.
