Why research feels hard
The tools weren’t built for you.
Good data still feels like noise when tools start with jargon, filters, and disconnected tabs.
Bottleneck one
01
The blank page
A screener can hand you a hundred filters. If you don’t know what to ask yet, it isn’t a useful starting point.
Bottleneck two
02
The jargon wall
Terms like implied volatility and off-exchange volume need context. Numbers without meaning are still noise.
Bottleneck three
03
Twelve open tabs
Company details here, earnings there, headlines somewhere else. You shouldn’t have to join every clue together yourself.

Step 1 of 7
How many stocks rose yesterday?
Start broad — see if most stocks are rising or falling together. The index can look calm while the crowd underneath tells a different story. That gap is where a good question begins.
The term. Breadth: the share of stocks rising versus falling in a given period.
Step 2 of 7
Which group held up best?
When one sector moves against the overall crowd, ask why: earnings, rates, or money shifting between industries.
The term. Sector rotation: money flowing between different industries.
Step 3 of 7
Which names led the way?
Zoom into individual companies. Look for breakouts on high volume — that usually means many buyers showing up, not just one large trade.
Value: BGrowth: AMomentum: ARisk: CValue, Growth, Momentum, Risk. A is best.
The term. Volume spike: activity well above the stock's normal level.
Step 4 of 7
When does it report?
Upcoming earnings shift the risk profile. Options markets price in an expected swing — a breakout right before results carries extra uncertainty.
The term. Implied move: the swing in price that options traders are bracing for.
Step 5 of 7
Is anyone inside buying?
Insiders sell for many reasons, but usually buy for one. Open-market purchases by officers are a small but real signal.
The term. Insider buying: company officers buying shares on the open market.
Step 6 of 7
What's the dark pool doing?
Check whether institutions are moving size off-exchange. Not every clue fires at once — you've now checked several independent sources.
The term. Dark pool: privately matched trades between institutions.
Step 7 of 7
How often has this worked?
Look at the historical base rate — the share of past signals that beat a benchmark. It's not a guarantee, but a ground to reason from.
The term. Hit rate: the percentage of past similar setups that outperformed.

Good questions
Before you dive in.
Will it tell me what to buy?
No. Headstart helps you research and compare information. It doesn’t make investment decisions for you or promise returns.
Do I need to be an experienced investor?
No. Start with the market overview, explore a company that interests you, and go deeper at your own pace. You don’t need to use every tool at once.
What data is shown in this preview?
The preview shows issuer-reported quarterly revenue and general market indicators. These are historical, prior-year comparisons that demonstrate the interface without presenting old figures as a live feed.
Is it free to try?
Yes. You can explore the preview pages without an account. The full workspace requires a sign-in, but the free tier covers the core research tools.
What happens after I sign up?
You’ll land on the Today tab where you can scan the market, browse collections, and start your research. Everything is organized by question, not by filter.
