Signal rankings are quantitative research outputs, not personalized recommendations. Values shown describe the current state of each trigger — an SMA spread is the gap between two moving averages, an RSI reading is the current oscillator level. They are not expected or historical returns. Past signal behaviour does not guarantee future performance.

How volatility signals work
The volatility family covers triggers describing how a stock's range is behaving — compression into a tight range, expansion out of one, and breakout or breakdown confirmation.
Volatility triggers carry directional information but are most useful as timing and position-sizing inputs. Compression often precedes a move without indicating which way it resolves.
This family is distinct from the AIQ Risk Resilience factor, which measures how a stock has withstood volatility over a longer window rather than what its range is doing today.
How rows are ordered. Rows are ranked by the number of covered triggers observed for each stock. No synthetic confidence or consequence score is used.
Limitations. Signals are computed from end-of-day data and describe conditions that are true as of the snapshot date shown above. They are completed-snapshot research observations, not personalized investment advice, and no forward return is implied by any value on this page. See the AIQ Score methodology for how these triggers relate to the composite score.
Volatility Signals — frequently asked questions
What is a volatility signal?
A trigger describing how a stock's trading range is behaving — compression into an unusually tight range, expansion out of one, or confirmation of a break from a prior range.
Does a volatility signal tell me which way a stock will move?
Usually not. Compression indicates a move is being coiled without indicating its direction. That is why volatility triggers are most useful for deciding position size and timing, and are best read alongside a directional trigger from the trend or momentum families.
How is this different from the AIQ Risk Resilience factor?
Risk Resilience is a level: how well a stock has withstood volatility and drawdowns over a longer window, where a higher score means stronger resilience. A volatility signal is an event: the stock's range is changing right now. A resilient stock can still fire a volatility expansion trigger.
What does range compression usually precede?
Historically, expansion — quiet ranges tend not to stay quiet indefinitely. But compression carries no directional information, and it can persist far longer than expected before resolving.
How often are volatility signals recalculated?
Once per market day, from the latest completed run, with entrants and exits diffed against the prior session.
