How CAUTION is determined
Every US ticker in the active scanner universe is scored sub-60s using the public six-factor composite: Trend, Relative Strength, Fundamentals, Smart Money, Macro, and Momentum — weighted most toward Trend and Relative Strength, least toward Momentum. Names whose composite score falls in the 25-39 band get the CAUTION label automatically. No human curation — the label transitions when the data does.
