SST Alpha Engine Documentation

The SST Alpha Engine is an education-first research tool for studying small-cap US equities, built and operated by Strong Stock Trading L.L.C. It combines market scanning and a research review stack whose scoring system is under active rebuild. Live fills today are manual Webull entries when the operator chooses to act — this public page does not promise autonomous trade execution.

This documentation covers how the research stack works at a conceptual level. Proprietary scoring formulas, weights, and thresholds are trade secrets and are not published here.

Educational Purpose Only: SST Alpha Engine is an educational and research tool. It is not a registered investment advisor. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice. See the Risk Disclosure section for full details.

Trading Philosophy

SST was built on a single premise: the trading education industry is broken. Alert services charge hundreds of dollars per month for watchlists that arrive after the move. Gurus post wins and bury losses. Retail traders are left holding the bag.

The Alpha Engine takes the opposite approach:

No Hype: Every trade is logged — winners and losers. Full transparency is not a marketing slogan. It is the entire model.
No Advice: The system scores data and shows what it sees. You decide what to do with it.
No Launch Gate Shortcuts: The platform will not be called a success until it generates $5,000–$10,000 in real, live trading profit. Not paper trading. Not backtesting. Real money.
Education First: 10 courses, 95 modules, and 250 quizzes covering stocks, options, futures, forex, ETFs, and crypto — all included for members.

The No Hype Rule: SST posts proof after trades close, not before. Live picks stay behind the members area. Public proof comes out after the position is gone. This is not a pump operation.

By the Numbers

No public live performance dashboard: These public pages do not publish live P&L, win rates, or Sharpe figures as marketing stats. Any paper or backtest numbers you may have seen elsewhere are not live results. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The Genome

The genome is the research scoring layer of the Alpha Engine. It is a weighted multi-factor framework that scores study candidates. A candidate must clear research thresholds and risk gates before it is treated as a serious review idea.

The weighted scoring system is under active rebuild. It is designed to use multiple research factors and risk gates. We do not claim that weights self-adjust after every live trade, and we do not publish proprietary factor counts or paper win rates as marketing proof on this page.

Multiple research factors (volume, momentum, technicals, fundamentals, and more)
Risk gates that must pass before an idea advances in review
Score threshold used internally for research triage (proprietary details unpublished)
Soft rebuild in public — education and architecture notes, not a live self-learning product promise

Proprietary: Specific signal weights, scoring formulas, and rebuild details are trade secrets of Strong Stock Trading L.L.C. and are not disclosed publicly. Any historical backtest or paper work is not live; past performance ≠ future results.

Research roles

The Alpha Engine is framed as a research committee, not a single autonomous bot. Distinct roles review candidates and pass notes to a coordinator. An idea should survive skeptical review before anyone treats it as actionable study material. Live fills remain manual when the operator chooses to trade.

🔍 Scout (research)

Scans markets across multiple scan types and surfaces candidates that match current research criteria for further review.

📈 Analyst (research)

Performs technical study on each candidate — price action, momentum, relative strength, and patterns across timeframes.

📚 Researcher

Validates each candidate with volume analysis, float data, catalyst checks, and sector context. Asks whether the story matches the numbers.

🚫 Debunker

Actively tries to disprove the thesis. Looks for hidden risks, dilution history, earnings traps, and reasons not to advance the idea.

💡 Monitor (research)

Tracks study positions and risk markers — targets, stops, time-based exits, and market condition changes — for review notes.

⚙ Coordinator

Orchestrates the research roles. Manages workflow, resolves conflicts, prioritizes review work, and keeps notes organized during market hours.

Strategies

The Alpha Engine uses 24 stock strategies and 10 options strategies, each scored and filtered by the genome. Examples include Gap & Go, VWAP Bounce, Low-Float Momentum, ORB Breakout, and various swing setups. Options strategies include Iron Condor, Credit Spread, and Wheel.

When orders are placed manually, the operating rule is limit orders only. Market orders are not used. Public pages do not promise automated broker execution.

Account Type Note: The live trading account is a Roth IRA cash account. No shorting, no margin, no market orders. All positions are long-only with T+1 settlement.
