Every time I found a setup on the chart, the same routine: Earnings Whisper for the latest earnings numbers. MarketSmith for earnings history, revenue growth, and EPS acceleration. Trading Economics for macro events this week. Finviz for news. Five tabs, every single stock, before I could decide if the trade was worth taking.
I already have my charting software — that's not what this replaces. BriefStocks replaces all the other tabs. The fundamental checklist you run after you spot a setup on the chart. Type a ticker, get everything on one page, make a faster decision.
That's it. All the data I need on one page to become a more efficient and better trader.
If you trade Qullamaggie-style breakouts, CANSLIM, or any strategy where you check fundamentals before you enter — this is for you.
Earnings history — EPS & revenue actuals vs. estimates, YoY growth %, surprise %
Revenue trends — quarterly comparisons so you can see acceleration
Sector & industry ranking — 1M, 3M, 6M, YTD performance vs. other sectors
Macro calendar — CPI, FOMC, NFP, and other high-impact events this week
News + WIIM — "Why It's Moving" alerts and curated financial news
Next earnings date — with consensus estimate so you know what's coming
Price chart — with sector ETF overlay and moving averages
Qullamaggie checks earnings growth (triple digit YoY ideal), sector leadership, and catalyst before entering. For episodic pivots he needs the EPS surprise and revenue beat immediately after a report. That's exactly what a BriefStocks scan shows — the earnings table gives you YoY growth and surprise %, the sector section shows if the group is leading, and WIIM tells you what's driving the move.
I used to have MarketSmith, Koyfin, and Earnings Whisper open side by side to get this picture. Now it's one scan.
If you run the CANSLIM checklist, here's what maps to what:
No. It's a research tool. We show data — you make the decisions.
MarketSmith is a charting platform with RS ratings. BriefStocks is specifically the pre-trade checklist: earnings acceleration, sector ranking, macro events, catalysts — on one page per ticker. They complement each other.
That's literally why it was built. Earnings growth, sector strength, catalyst, next earnings date — all the things you check before entering a breakout.
