Why Analyze NSC with FILTRIX?

🛡️ Realistic Entry Simulation

We don't inflate stats. Our analysis tracks only the first alert of the day for NSC. 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.

💰 Max Potential (MFE) Analysis

How much is left in the move? On winning days, NSC historically offers an average upside of +0.68% intraday. Our data helps you distinguish between a quick scalp and a runner.

📊 NSC Momentum Personality

With a baseline win rate of 44.1%, NSC shows negative momentum - the stock tends to fade after alerts. This pattern suggests NSC may be better suited for contrarian strategies or avoiding altogether.

⏱️ Optimized Exit Timing

⚠️ Caution Advised: NSC shows negative expectancy across all tested intraday timeframes (Best: 30MIN at -0.45%). This suggests NSC is prone to fading after the open, making it a potential candidate for short-selling or quick scalps only.
