You live your day. NextShelf watches the close.
S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and major ETFs, checked after every 4-hour close.
Example rows. Members see every stock on the board, updated after each 4-hour close.
Your phone can already ping you. The problem is what it pings you about.
4-hour closes hold inside a tight range for at least 5 sessions. The stock is coiling, and there's no trade yet.
The first 4-hour close beyond the hub is the breakout, never the wick. On Pro you're warned about 15 minutes before it prints.
Earlier hubs act as shelves. The nearest one is the target; a close back inside the hub means it failed. Entry, target and exit, set before you enter.
Hubs, start to finish: the warning before the close, the confirmation on the close, the target when it hits. Most days the scanner says nothing. That's the discipline, built in. The other five setups (flags, double tops and bottoms, triangles, channels, support and resistance) are in beta while their track records grow.
Example setup, for illustration.
Tap Analyze on any stock and you get one card: where it triggers, where it's aiming, and where you're wrong. Decide before the candle closes, not after.
Example card with sample numbers. Educational, not financial advice.
$251.47 last 4-hour close
Per contract. Reached the aim in 4 of 10 past setups.
The 4-hour candles close at 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM ET. NextShelf fits around them, so you don't have to fit around the market.
What's resting in a hub, what's at the edge, and earnings to avoid. Plus an order plan you can place before you leave.
Telegram alerts only when a candle closes outside a hub. On Pro your phone can ring and read the alert aloud. Quiet hours keep the night silent.
Every breakout from the day with its target and its exit level, so tomorrow's plan is set before dinner.
Every hub breakout the board finds is logged with its result. Nothing cherry-picked. The failures are the point.
These are the board's signals, not trading advice, and past signals don't promise future ones. The record exists so you can judge the setup with your own eyes. See every signal →
A stretch of at least 5 sessions where every 4-hour candle closes inside a tight range, measured against the stock's own volatility (ATR). It's the stock coiling before a move, and while price is inside, there's no trade.
An earlier hub. When price breaks out of the current hub, the nearest earlier hub in that direction is where it often heads next, so it becomes the target.
That's who it's for. The 4-hour candles close at 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM ET, so there are only two decision points a day. You get a morning brief before work, alerts on your phone only when a candle closes outside a hub, and an evening recap after the close.
Pre-close warnings (Pro) come about 15 minutes before each 4-hour close, at 1:15 and 3:45 PM ET. For the 1:30 PM close you get an early read at about 1:31 PM from the real-time feed, confirmed (or corrected) at about 1:47 PM with the full market data, so you can still enter that afternoon. The 4:00 PM close is confirmed after the market shuts, and you can choose to skip those alerts in Settings. Regular trading hours only.
Hubs are the core setup. NextShelf also finds bull and bear flags, double tops and bottoms, triangles, channels, and support and resistance tested 3 or more times. They follow the same rule: act on a 4-hour close outside the pattern, aim for the next shelf. Each keeps its own public track record.
Every S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stock plus major ETFs, over 540 in all. You can also add any US-listed ticker to your own watchlist.
