How the InsiderPulse 0-100 score works
Every asset we cover carries a single number between 0 and 100. It exists to answer one question quickly: out of everything we are watching today, how much is this one standing out? The number is a data output, not a recommendation, and this page explains exactly what goes into it.
What the number actually means
The InsiderPulse Score on an asset is a ranking. A score of 99 means the asset ranks above 99 percent of the assets we analyse. It is relative, so it moves as the market around it moves. An asset scoring 70 in a quiet week may score 50 in a volatile one without anything about the company changing.
A Sector Score is a different measure. It is a 0-100 strength level for that sector on its own terms, not a ranking against other sectors. Sectors also move more slowly than individual assets, and a rising sector score often comes before a cluster of individual signals inside the same sector.
The data behind the score
The scoring engine combines several independent families of evidence. Each family is weighted by how it has actually performed in our historical data, and the composite is recalculated as new data arrives.
- Insider filings: company directors and executives buying or selling their own stock.
- Dark pool activity: FINRA ATS prints showing size traded away from the public tape.
- Congressional trades: disclosed trading by elected officials.
- Options flow: contracts where volume runs well ahead of open interest.
- News sentiment: how the day's coverage reads against the company's own baseline.
- Momentum and technicals: price and volume behaviour relative to the asset's own history.
The specific weights and model architecture are proprietary. What is never hidden is which signals fired on a given asset: the asset page lists them in plain language.
Reading a score in practice
| Band | What it usually means | How to treat it |
|---|---|---|
| 90 to 100 | Several independent signal families are firing at once | Worth reading the signal list in full |
| 70 to 89 | One or two strong families, the rest quiet | Useful context, rarely the whole story |
| 40 to 69 | Ordinary activity for that asset | Background, not a standout |
| 0 to 39 | Little or nothing unusual detected | No current evidence in our data |
Because the score is relative, watch relative movement rather than fixed thresholds. An asset climbing from 40 to 80 over a week is telling you more than an asset sitting flat at 85.
How often it updates
- Data collection runs continuously through the day.
- Prices refresh daily after the market close.
- Scores are recalculated as new filings, news and market data land.
- Watchlist signals are reviewed on every scoring run, so the board reflects the most recent completed run.
