The PDT rule is dead. Here's why that actually matters now.

Starting June 4th, FINRA is officially killing the $25K pattern day trader minimum. No more getting flagged for 4 trades in 5 days. No more 90-day account freezes. If you've got $2K in a margin account, you can day trade as much as you want.

This is the biggest rule change for retail traders in 25 years. And it means a LOT of people who were locked out of scalping and intraday momentum plays are about to jump in.

Here's the thing nobody wants to say: more access doesn't automatically mean more money. If anything it means more people losing money faster because they're trading without any kind of system.

That's what CatalystBot is. Not a signal group. Not some guru telling you what to buy. It's a suite of real-time scanners we built that surface what's actually moving. Breakouts, volume surges, options flow, momentum shifts, VWAP reclaims, block trades, across 1100+ tickers.

Yesterday's numbers (May 8):

  • 180 breakout alerts fired, 49% hit rate

  • Biggest runner: YMAT, entry at $0.29, peaked at +215%

  • Pro scanner: 115 alerts, 43% hit rate, MRAM ran +72% from $22.49

  • Top patterns: LEVEL_BREAK hit 46%, GENERIC hit 35%

Some days are better, some are worse. I'm not going to pretend every alert prints. 49% hit rate means roughly half didn't work. That's trading. The edge is in catching the ones that DO move and managing the ones that don't.

Free tier gets you the core breakout scanner alerts. Pro unlocks the full suite with pro breakout patterns, options flow, premium charts, swing setups, and more.

No contracts. Cancel whenever. I'd rather you try it and see if it fits your style than oversell you on something.

🚨 Stop Guessing Market Direction. Follow the Whale Premium. 🚨

The options flow is full of noise. If you're manually scrolling through options chains or relying on basic volume screeners, you are too slow and missing the true institutional sweeps.

Institutions don't hide their intent; they just execute faster and larger than retail can process. You need an engine that filters out the retail noise and isolates the massive, aggressive options bets being placed in real-time.

We built the Unusual Options Activity (UOA) Scanner to automatically monitor the chain for 20 of the highest-volume tickers and ETFs (like SPY, QQQ, TSLA, and NVDA). It sweeps the market every 60 seconds to feed you the highest-conviction institutional flow.

Here is exactly how the engine works under the hood to find the smart money:

  • 🧠 1. Algorithmic Conviction Scoring Not all big orders are smart money. The engine scores every contract on a point system to separate hedges from directional bets. It categorizes alerts into "HIGH" (Score 4+) and "EXTREME" (Score 6+) conviction tiers.

  • 📈 2. Rolling Baseline "Spike" Detection We don't just look at total volume; we look for sudden, aggressive sweeps. The scanner calculates a rolling 20-period average for volume and alerts you when there is a massive volume delta spike of 5x or more above that baseline.

  • 💰 3. Institutional Premium Thresholds The engine explicitly ignores retail noise by enforcing a strict $25,000 minimum premium floor. It heavily rewards massive blocks, bumping up conviction scores for bursts of premium crossing the $100k or $500k+ marks.

  • 🎯 4. Ask-Side Execution Detection Smart money doesn't sit on the bid when they want in—they hit the ask. The scanner actively detects if a contract is being filled on the Ask-side by checking if the last price is at or above 95% of the ask price.

  • ⚖️ 5. Dynamic "Time of Day" Filtering The market open is chaotic and full of overnight hedges. The scanner autonomously adapts to this by requiring a much higher conviction score (6+) during the first 30 minutes of the day to suppress morning noise. As the trend settles, the thresholds normalize.

  • 📊 6. Automated Visual Strike Charts Stop trying to visualize the trade in your head. Every alert drops into Discord with an auto-generated candlestick chart that plots an exact dashed line for the Strike Price. It even places a visual "Fill Marker" on the exact candle where the massive option order was executed relative to the underlying stock.

Stop fighting the market. Trade with the whales. 👇

🚨See Where the Whales Are Hiding. 🚨

Retail volume is often just noise. If you want to know where a stock is really heading, you need to follow the millions of dollars being quietly moved by institutions in dark pools.


With the Catalyst Bot Pro !chartblocks [ticker] command, you can instantly strip away the noise and overlay massive institutional Dark Pool and Whale prints directly onto a 5-minute chart. Currently supports over 1,000 tickers!


Here is why you need to be tracking these hidden prints:

  • 🐋 1. Spot "Smart Money" Intent Institutions dictate market direction. While dark pool prints don't explicitly say "buy" or "sell," plotting them on a chart allows you to instantly infer intent. If a massive block prints and the price rockets, that's heavy accumulation. If it prints and the price tanks, it's distribution.

  • 🧱 2. Map Hidden Support & Resistance Financial whales defend their positions. Large block orders frequently become concrete support or resistance zones. For example, if you see a massive $185k block print right at the bottom of a morning dip (like in the NUAI chart), that signals an institution "buying the dip." That price level is now a massive hidden support zone.

  • 🔄 3. Validate Trend Reversals A cluster of heavy prints at a peak or a trough often signals a structural shift. A massive multi-block print at the high of the day right before a sharp drop? The smart money is dumping on retail. A steady staircase of $100k+ prints on the way up? The trend is heavily supported by institutional momentum.


Stop relying on the public tape. Trade with the smart money.

Stop Getting Chopped Up at VWAP. Trade the Confirmed Reclaim.


VWAP is the most important intraday indicator in the market, which means it’s also where the most retail traders get trapped. If you are buying a stock the exact second it ticks above VWAP, you are constantly falling for algorithmic fakeouts and liquidity grabs.


A real VWAP reclaim requires a washout, a base, and sustained buying pressure.


I built the VWAP Reclaim Scanner to filter out the noise and only alert you to high-probability, structurally sound VWAP setups. It ignores the chop and specifically hunts for stocks that have trapped shorts below the line and are now squeezing back to the High of Day.


Here is exactly how the engine works under the hood to protect your capital:

  • 🛡️ 1. Algorithmic Fakeout Protection (The 15-Second Rule) Most scanners alert on the very first tick above VWAP. Mine doesn't. The engine places the stock in a "Confirming" state and forces it to hold above VWAP for a minimum of 15 seconds. If it immediately rejects, the alert is killed. You only see actual reclaims.

  • 📉 2. Strict "Dip & Base" Requirements A stock just chopping horizontally across VWAP is useless. The engine requires a minimum 0.5% "dip depth" below the line and forces the stock to build a base for at least 3 minutes before reclaiming. It explicitly targets charts where shorts have had time to get comfortable before the rug is pulled.

  • 💯 3. 7-Point Conviction Scoring Not every reclaim is an A+ setup. The scanner automatically grades every alert on a 0–7 quality scale based on institutional footprints. It awards points for:

    • LONG BASES: Extra points for stocks that consolidated below VWAP for 5 to 10+ minutes.

    • HIGH RVOL: Heavily weights stocks trading at 1.5x to 2x+ their relative volume.

    • NEAR HOD: Rewards tickers coiling within 3% of the High of Day for maximum squeeze potential.

    • DARK POOLS: Flags if >25% of the total volume is executing off-exchange.

  • 🛑 4. Liquidity & Spread Traps Filtered You can't trade what you can't get filled on. Requires the stock to be green on the day (>+2%), and explicitly blocks alerts if the bid/ask spread is wider than 3%.

  • 📊 5. Real-Time Discord Grading When a setup fires, it drops directly into Discord with its Conviction Tier visually graded (from a basic "Setup" up to a "High Conviction 🔥🔥" alert). You instantly see the dip depth, the exact time spent basing, and the specific signals driving the score.


Stop buying the fakeout. Wait for the confirmation. 👇

🚨 How We Caught the $LOCL Breakout Off Early Dark Pool Flow 🚨


On April 1, 2026, our Discord's block trade channel proved its value once again by reading the tape and sniffing out massive institutional accumulation before the retail crowd even woke up.


Right at 08:47:30 AM pre-market, our flow scanners flagged a highly unusual dark pool print for $LOCL. Someone was stepping up and quietly absorbing serious liquidity.

The Tape Details:

  • Ticker: $LOCL

  • Order Type: DARK (Dark Pool Block Trade)

  • Price: $1.16

  • Size: 300,000 Shares

  • Notional Value: $348,000

The Result: The tape doesn't lie. Following this massive $348k block print at $1.16, $LOCL caught a massive bid right off the open and rode strong upside momentum to close the day significantly higher. Those inside the Discord who had eyes on this early flow had a clear edge to position themselves ahead of the retail volume.


Stop Trading in the Dark


Smart money leaves footprints, even when they try to hide in the dark pools. Our real-time flow scanners track these massive institutional blocks and sweepers the second they hit the tape, allowing you to trade the order flow rather than guessing.


We also include Bot commands to view session block trades for over 1000+ tickers!


Don't miss the next major accumulation phase. Join the community today, get immediate access to our live block trade channel, and start trading with the smart money!

🌀 Stop Guessing the Breakout. Trade the Coil.

If you’re swing trading by buying random green days, you're providing exit liquidity for the smart money. The highest-probability swing setups are built on compression—stocks that are coiling tightly under resistance, drying up in volume, and preparing for an explosive directional move.

I built the Adaptive Swing Scanner to find these exact coiled springs. But this isn't just a static end-of-day screener. It is a 3-phase algorithmic engine that finds the setups, monitors the live tape for the exact entry trigger, and literally learns from its own win rate to adapt to the current market.

Here is exactly how the engine works under the hood to feed you high-conviction swings:

  • 🔍 Phase 1: Deep Structural Scoring (10-Point Analysis) Every day, the engine scans the market and grades every ticker across 10 institutional features. It filters for Volatility Compression (BBs inside Keltner Channels), Range Contraction (NR4/NR7), Volume Dry-up, stacked EMAs, and Relative Strength against the SPY. It ignores the noise and isolates the tightest, highest-quality "coiling" charts.

  • Phase 2: Real-Time Intraday Triggers A setup is just a setup until volume steps in. Once a stock is flagged on the nightly watchlist, the scanner actively monitors the live intraday tape. It instantly alerts you the second price breaches the consolidation range accompanied by a 1.5x+ volume surge and momentum confirmations (like holding near HOD and VWAP). You get the alert right as the multi-day move begins.

  • 🧠 Phase 3: Autonomous Machine Learning & Weight Adjustment This is the game-changer. The scanner grades its own homework. It tracks every alert it fires for 5 trading days to see if it hit a successful profit target. It then analyzes which of the 10 technical features actually predicted the winners and dynamically adjusts its own algorithmic weights. If Volatility Compression is working flawlessly this month, it weights it heavier. If EMA stacks stop working in a choppy market, it automatically down-weights them. It adapts so you don't have to.

  • 📊 Transparent Conviction Tiers Every setup broadcast to the Discord includes the scanner's rolling hit rate, exact conviction tier (High, Medium, Low), and the specific technical signals driving the score, so you always know the algorithm's pulse on the current market environment.

Stop trading static patterns in a dynamic market. Automate your edge. 👇

📈 Stop Chasing the Top. Catch the Multi-Day Trend.

Retail traders lose money on runners for one simple reason: they buy Stage 3 (extended) and hold into Stage 4 (topping). By the time a stock is up 5 days in a row and plastered all over social media, the smart money is already scaling out.

To actually profit from multi-day runners, you need to find them when they are fresh, or catch them on the first algorithmic pullback.

I built the PRO Multi-Day Runner Scanner to track the exact lifecycle of a trend. It doesn’t just show you what’s going up—it classifies where the stock is in its journey, tracks the moving average slopes, and isolates high-probability continuation setups.

Here is the exact logic the PRO engine uses to map the market:

  • 🧬 1. Algorithmic Stage Classification The engine categorizes every runner into one of four distinct lifecycles so you never buy the top again:

    • 🌱 Stage 1 (Fresh Breakout): Price just crossed the 20-Day Moving Average, and the slope is turning positive. You are early.

    • 🚀 Stage 2 (Trending Sweet Spot): The stock is grinding higher, holding a healthy +2% to +12% above the 20DMA. This is the prime profit zone.

    • ⚠️ Stage 3 (Extended): The stock is up 5+ days in a row and stretched >15% above the 20DMA. The scanner literally warns you: Do not chase.

    • 🔻 Stage 4 (Topping): The moving average slope is flattening out, or the daily candle is closing in the bottom half of its range. The run is over.

  • 🎯 2. Precision "Pullback-Ready" Detection This is the holy grail of swing trading. The scanner looks for stocks that had a massive run (10%+), rested for 1 to 4 days on declining volume, and are now printing their first green day. It strictly requires the price to close back above the 9 EMA while holding the 20 EMA—signaling the exact moment the trend is resuming.

  • 💯 3. Pro Conviction Scoring (0-100) Not all trends are equal. The engine calculates a composite score based on streak length, total percentage gain, and the slope of the trend. It heavily rewards volume expansion (comparing the run's average volume to the prior 10 days) to confirm institutional backing.

  • 🧠 4. Autonomous Hit-Rate Tracking Total accountability. The scanner grades its own homework by tracking every single alert over a 3-day window. If the stock pushes +5%, it's a win; if it drops -5%, it's a loss. It openly broadcasts its rolling 30-day win rate directly to the Discord so you know the current market conditions.

  • 📊 5. Auto-Generated Visual Charts No need to open your charting platform. The scanner automatically renders and attaches a clean, institutional-grade visual chart for the top runners directly in your alerts—complete with price action, the 9/20 EMAs, volume bars, and stage tags.

Stop buying the top. Start trading the trend lifecycle. 👇

🚀 Stop Staring at the Tape. Let the Algorithm Read It for You.

If you trade momentum, you know that speed is everything. But watching the Level 2 and Time & Sales on multiple tickers at once is exhausting, and human eyes miss things. By the time you spot the volume spike on a basic retail scanner, the move has already happened.

You need an edge built on market microstructure.

We built the Real-Time Momentum Scanner to be your personal, automated tape reader. It doesn't just look for percentage gainers; it actively scans the market's underlying order flow to find the exact moments a stock is going parabolic.

Here is exactly what the engine is calculating in real-time to feed you high-conviction momentum signals:

  • 🔥 1. Multi-Factor Conviction Scoring The scanner processes thousands of data points and distills them into a simple, actionable "Score." It visually grades setups as they cross your screen—highlighting high-conviction "Fire" and "Hot" setups so you instantly know which tickers deserve your attention.

  • 🧱 2. Algorithmic Bid Stacking Detection We don't just look at price; we look at the order book. The scanner detects "Bid Stacking"—flagging exact moments when bid size heavily outweighs ask size (by 2x or more) with massive liquidity. It shows you exactly where buyers are aggressively stepping up to support the price.

  • 🐋 3. Block Prints & Dark Pool Accumulation Follow the smart money. The engine actively scans Time & Sales for massive block prints ($50k+) hitting the tape, while simultaneously calculating if 30%+ of the daily volume is being routed off-exchange into Dark Pools.

  • 📈 4. HOD Breaks & Volume Acceleration We want explosive velocity. The scanner triggers when a stock is coiling within 1% of the High of Day, strictly filtering for explosive Relative Volume (RVol) spikes of 2x to 5x+.

  • 🛑 5. LULD "Halt Risk" Detection Trade the volatility, but protect your capital. The engine actively calculates velocity and volume ratios to alert you of "Halt Risk"—flagging stocks that are going parabolic and are at immediate risk of a Limit Up-Limit Down (LULD) trading halt.

  • 🔬 6. Spread Compression Momentum requires liquidity. The scanner ensures you don't get trapped in illiquid garbage by filtering for micro-spreads (under 0.5%), meaning you can actually get filled when it's time to take profit.


Stop missing the move. Start trading the tape. 👇

Stop Staring at Stale Gappers. Catch the Real-Time Rotation.


The market moves fast. If you are relying on your pre-market watchlist at 1:00 PM, you are completely missing the mid-day rotation.


Stocks can wake up at any given moment, and when institutional volume steps in, you don't have time to manually click through hundreds of charts. You need an engine that finds the velocity for you.


We built the Power 45 Scanner to be your real-time momentum radar. Every 15 minutes, it sweeps every tracked ticker, analyzing the last 45 minutes of tape to find the assets that are catching a massive, immediate bid.

Here is the exact criteria the engine requires before it broadcasts a "Power Trend" alert to your screen:

  • 🚀 1. Pure Velocity (>4% in 45 Minutes) We don't care what the stock did yesterday. We care what it's doing right now. The scanner isolates assets that have surged a minimum of 4% strictly within a 45-minute rolling window.

  • 💎 2. Holding the Highs (Zero Bleeding) There is nothing worse than buying a spike only to realize it was a liquidity grab. The scanner requires the price to hold within 2% of the local high. If the stock is fading or dumping its gains, the engine immediately rejects it.

  • 🌊 3. Strict Volume Thresholds No low-float, illiquid garbage that you can't get filled on. The scanner applies dynamic volume minimums based on the stock's price tier to ensure real, actionable liquidity is driving the move.

  • 4. Daily VWAP Clearance A 45-minute spike means nothing if the broader daily trend is bearish. The engine cross-references the daily timeframe to guarantee the asset is trading cleanly above VWAP, confirming that intraday buyers are in total control.

  • 🤖 5. Automated Tiered Broadcasting Every 15 minutes, the engine ranks the top strongest tickers in the market by pure percentage gain and broadcasts them directly to you. No manual refreshing required.


Trade the velocity. Catch the rotation. 👇
