Matakita was never meant to be a charting platform. You already have one, and it’s open on another monitor right now.

That’s why we built the link bridge. Click a ticker in Matakita and your broker platform syncs to it instantly, with no copy-pasting, typos or lost seconds. Your charts stay where you like them, and Matakita does the scanning and ranking. Building our own charts looked like a worse copy of something you already have.

So why did we build Quick Chart?

Because of one repeated moment. A ticker fires and you want a quick read on whether the move is building or fading, but you don’t want to leave the scanner to get it.

Quick Chart is that glance. It isn’t a charting package.

Raw volume tells you how much traded. PRESS tells you which way the pressure went. A big volume bar can be heavy selling into a spike, and a plain volume chart looks the same either way. Because Quick Chart uses the same number as Signal Pulse, what you see in the scanner row is what you see under the candles.

The link bridge is still how you trade. Quick Chart is how you decide whether to bother: structure on the 5m, trigger on the 1m, tape on the 10s.

EOD Recaps: four runners, posted daily

Every day, four runners go up on the website. Each card shows the ticker, the alert time and a replay of the move.

What matters is how we measure it. Every number is measured from the Attention Zone, the moment Matakita algorithmicallyflagged the ticker, across three fixed windows: 5, 10 and 15 minutes. For each window you get two figures:

Attention Zone is Matakita's algorithmic momentum flag, activated when its Continuation Score crosses the qualifying threshold. (https://newsletter.matakita.me/p/i-built-matakita-because-i-was-tired-of-finding-momentum-too-late)

October 8:

Look at FLYE’s dip. It moved +127% from the alert, but you had to sit through -11.66% first. A recap that only shows the peak hides that.

Why our recap doesn’t look like the others

We can’t claim an alert if the ticker runs hours after it.

Two other recaps from the same day show the problem.

The all-day window. One scanner recap measures “Run” as the best price before 4pm ET. Its own table shows DKI flagged at 4:02am, peaking 2h 55m later for a +290% run, then closing -61% from the alert price. Another ticker peaked 3h 08m after its alert. A 290% run that arrives three hours later isn’t a result of the alert. It’s a number about the stock’s day. (To their credit, they also report how many flagged stocks closed below the alert price, 102 of 160 that day. But the headline numbers still use an open-ended window.)

The highlight chart. Another recap charts FLYE under a headline of “+150% gap on a 1.46M share float.” That’s a statement about the stock, not the alert. The $3.31 high comes about 23 minutes after the 7:17 flag, the line starts near $1.73 instead of the $1.38 flag price, and no drawdown is shown. It’s a good chart of a stock that ran. It isn’t a measurement of the alert.

What we do instead:

Our numbers are smaller than a day-high screenshot, but they’re real. If the move happens inside 15 minutes, it counts. If it happens later, it doesn’t.

The fine print on every replay says the same: the line is minute closes, partial minutes are excluded, and incomplete price coverage shows N/A rather than a guess.

If a stock fires and runs for three hours, that’s a good stock. It’s not a good alert.
