From Preset to Inbox
On Your Schedule

Presets are predefined investment screening strategies. Each preset represents a distinct market behavior and automatically selects a set of parameters that match that idea.

Choose how and when you receive your results. Get a one-time snapshot or enable recurring emails (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), always based on fresh market data and the same preset logic. Optionally attach a detailed Excel file, set a delivery time (UTC), and enter your email — no account required.

Explore Presets

A screener defines what you look for. Delivery settings define when you receive it.

Screener example showing cash flow focused filters.
Screeners are focused rulesets that filter the market for very specific characteristics. Each screener answers a concrete question — for example who is running the company, how the market is positioned, or what investors expect next.

Choose whether you want a one-time email or recurring updates (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). Results are always generated using current market data.

Design Your Own Market Screen

Preset example highlighting reversal momentum.
This section gives you full control over how the market is screened. You can manually select the exact rules that matter to you. Each parameter refines the universe step by step, helping you turn a broad market into a precise shortlist.
Preset example highlighting stabilization.
Select your expertise level to control the tone and depth of the analysis. Beginner uses plain language, Intermediate adds key financial context, and Expert delivers concise, technical explanations. This setting affects how results are explained, not which stocks are selected. Choose a one-time email or recurring updates.

What a Backseat Alpha Email Looks Like

This is an example of a Backseat Alpha email you receive once your strategy or parameters are set. Each email introduces a curated set of companies that match your exact rules. For every company, the email provides:

  • A short business overview to establish context
  • Key performance signals across short- and long-term timeframes
  • Fundamental metrics such as valuation, profitability, and growth
  • A financial lens explaining why the company fits your criteria and what the market is implicitly pricing in
