πŸ›‘οΈ Realistic Entry Simulation

We don't inflate stats. Our analysis tracks only the first alert of the day for COST. This simulates a true "Gap & Go" entry at pre-market hours (9:25-9:30 AM), avoiding the trap of chasing a stock that has already extended.

πŸ’° Max Potential (MFE) Analysis

How much is left in the move? On winning days, COST historically offers an average upside of +1.13% intraday. Our data helps you distinguish between a quick scalp and a runner.

πŸ“Š COST Momentum Personality

With a baseline win rate of 53.3%, COST shows negative expectancy despite winning more often - average losses (-1.53%) outweigh average wins (+1.12%). This suggests the need for tighter stops or better entry timing.

⏱️ Optimized Exit Timing

⚠️ Caution Advised: COST shows negative expectancy across all tested intraday timeframes (Best: EOD (End of Day) at -0.12%). This suggests COST is prone to fading after the open, making it a potential candidate for short-selling or quick scalps only.
