But beneath the surface lies a web of infrastructure challenges, data feeds, and execution speed bumps that every solo developer eventually runs into. Here is a look behind the curtain at where the system stands, the operational bugs caught in the crossfire, and the reality of turning strategy into execution. 1.

Explosive Returns? Possible, not guaranteed.

This list is significantly more actionable than standard generic watchlists because the scanner successfully isolates high-probability, high-conviction setups from merely oversold names. However, trading these purely in descending order of score would be a mistake. SCR and RSI frequently tell different structural stories, making the DIST field essential for timing entries.
