you've got 150+ reports on edgeful. discovery answers the obvious question that creates — out of everything, which reports are actually worth my attention right now?
you pick a ticker, a session, and a lookback window. discovery scores every report against that combination and ranks them, so the setups worth a look rise to the top instead of you digging through them one by one.
here's how it works.
what discovery does
discovery scans every edgeful report for the ticker and session you choose, then ranks them by a 0-100 score.
think of it as the opposite of the screener. the screener takes the reports you picked and shows them across your tickers. discovery starts with one ticker and scans everything — then tells you which reports are standing out.
the flow is 3 steps:
configure — pick your ticker, session, and lookback window in the left sidebar
scan — discovery scores every report for that combination
trade — work down the ranked list, starting with the top setups
configuring your scan
everything you set lives in the left sidebar. take a second here — the ticker, session, and lookback you pick define every number discovery returns.
asset & ticker
pick the instrument you want to scan. discovery works across every asset on edgeful — futures, stocks, ETFs, forex, and crypto.
one scan covers one ticker. if you trade NQ and ES, you'll run discovery once for each.
session
choose the session you trade. this matters more than people expect — a setup measured in the NY session is measuring something different than the same setup in London or Asia.
every session is available here, including any custom sessions you've built. if you trade a window that doesn't match the built-ins, your custom session shows up in this dropdown too.
lookback
this is your scan window — how far back discovery looks when scoring each report. you've got 4 choices:
1 month
3 months
6 months
1 year
shorter windows lean toward what's been happening lately. longer windows lean toward what holds up over time. a setup that scores well across 1 year and 3 months and 1 month is more reliable than one that only shows up on a single window.
minimum score
the slider sets the floor — discovery only returns reports scoring at or above it. it defaults to 50.
leave it lower to see more of the field. push it toward 70+ when you only want the strongest setups. you can always hit run scan again with a different floor, or reset scan to start over.
once it's set, hit run scan.
reading your results
discovery returns your reports ranked top to bottom by score. across the top you'll see a quick summary of the scan — how many outcomes were scanned, how many cleared your minimum score, and the ticker, session, and lookback you ran.
each row has 3 numbers. they answer different questions, so it's worth knowing which is which.
score
the score is a 0-100 rating built for one job: ranking reports so the ones worth looking at rise to the top.
it's not the raw historical number. the score combines multiple factors that go beyond the raw data — so a report that ranks well is one you can actually act on, not just one with a flashy percentage.
data
the data column is the raw historical % — how often the setup has played out over your lookback window. it's accurate, and it's the number you'll use to build your read.
sample
the sample column is how many times the setup has actually occurred over your lookback. this is the piece that explains why discovery ranks by score instead of just sorting the data.
a 100% rate over a single occurrence would top a straight data sort — even though one sample isn't enough to trade. read across all 3 columns together: a 90% over 29 samples is a very different setup than a 100% over 2. the score already accounts for this, which is why the list is ordered the way it is.
taking action on a result
every row has 3 action buttons on the right:
view details — expands the row in place, with two panels: about this report (what the report and subreport measure, in plain language) and activity (how the setup has behaved recently — triggers in the last 30 days, whether its score has moved since 30 days ago, and the trading styles it fits)
bookmark — saves the report to your bookmarks in the reports section, so it's waiting for you there next time you open the reports page
go to report — opens the full report page, with the chart, subreports, and customization behind the number
opening a result for the full picture
click any row to expand it. you'll get two panels:
about this report — what the report and subreport measure, in plain language, so you know exactly what the number is telling you
activity — how the setup has behaved recently: how many times it's triggered in the last 30 days, whether its score has moved since 30 days ago, and the trading styles it fits (scalping, day trading, and so on)
from the expanded view you can bookmark the report or hit go to report to open the full report page — with the chart, subreports, and customization behind the number.
how to use it day to day
discovery is a starting point, not a finish line. here's a clean way to work it into your process:
run a scan on the ticker and session you trade, on your preferred lookback
start at the top of the ranked list and open the reports scoring highest
expand a row to read what the setup measures and how often it's triggered lately
hit go to report to see the full breakdown, subreports, and the chart behind the number
look for confluence — when 2 or 3 top-ranked reports point the same direction, that's a stronger read than any one alone
customize each report to your levels before you lean on it
the reports discovery surfaces still take work to turn into a trade — you'll customize the settings, sit with the data, and build your own process around it over time. discovery just gets you to the right reports faster.
