Why Analyze VLO with FILTRIX?

🛡️ Realistic Entry Simulation

We don't inflate stats. Our analysis tracks only the first alert of the day for VLO. 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, VLO historically offers an average upside of +1.79% intraday. Our data helps you distinguish between a quick scalp and a runner.

📊 VLO Momentum Personality

With a baseline win rate of 47.7%, VLO shows negative momentum - the stock tends to fade after alerts. This pattern suggests VLO may be better suited for contrarian strategies or avoiding altogether.

⏱️ Optimized Exit Timing

⚠️ Caution Advised: VLO shows negative expectancy across all tested intraday timeframes (Best: 5MIN at -0.03%). This suggests VLO is prone to fading after the open, making it a potential candidate for short-selling or quick scalps only.
