Why use Scout?

You can't watch 2,200 ASX small cap stocks manually. Most breakouts happen while you're at work, on a call, or asleep. Scout's algorithm runs automatically so you don't miss a thing — then Scout AI helps you make sense of what it finds.

Scan the full ASX automatically

The algorithm scans every ASX small-cap before you finish your morning coffee. Up to 6x per trading day. Automated scanning saves time across 2,200+ tickers.

Surface public regulatory filings

Regulatory filings, director activity, and institutional moves — surfaced automatically, not buried in 50-page PDFs you'll never read.

Spot danger before it spots you

Cash runway warnings, dilution flags, and rising short interest flagged automatically. The red flags you'd miss skimming an annual report.

One score, multiple dimensions

Our proprietary algorithm blends multiple analysis layers into one conviction score from 0 to 100. Stop juggling six browser tabs and three spreadsheets.

Transparency, not trust

Six scoring dimensions with published weights. Every signal recorded and tracked against real market outcomes. No hiding bad calls.

Ask Scout, skip the rabbit hole

Don't dig through tabs and forums. Ask Scout AI about any signal, ticker, or strategy and get an instant answer grounded in live dashboard data.

Use Cases

Five ways to use Scout

Every feature maps to a real workflow. Here's how Scout surfaces data points and answers your questions across the ASX small cap universe.

Technical

The Compression Scanner

Review tickers showing range compression patterns

When a stock's trading range narrows and volume contracts simultaneously, it often precedes a significant directional move. SmallCapData's technical dimension flags these compression patterns automatically across 2,200+ ASX small caps — so you see the setup forming, not just the breakout after it's happened.

Technical Volume analysis
Multi-Factor

The Catalyst Stack

Review tickers where technical data coincides with a fresh ASX announcement

A bullish chart alone isn't enough. Neither is an announcement in isolation. SmallCapData scores both independently, then surfaces tickers where technical momentum and a material ASX announcement converge. Two dimensions confirming each other is stronger than either alone.

Technical Catalyst
Protection

The Cash Trap Filter

Identify pre-revenue stocks with deteriorating cash runway

Many ASX small caps look technically strong right before a capital raise wipes out shareholders. SmallCapData's fundamental dimension analyses cash reserves, burn rate, and debt levels — flagging stocks where the balance sheet suggests dilution may be coming, regardless of what the chart says.

Fundamental Risk indicators
Insight

The Sentiment Divergence

Review tickers where sentiment data and price action diverge

When retail discussion volume rises sharply on a stock that's declining — or goes silent on one that's quietly rallying — something interesting may be happening. SmallCapData's sentiment dimension tracks HotCopper activity, social media mentions, and search trends to surface these divergences.

The Scout Deep Dive

Ask Scout to analyse any signal across all six dimensions

Open any signal card, click into Scout, and ask: "Is this a compression setup?" or "What's the risk here?" Scout analyses the six scoring dimensions, ATR reference levels, recent ASX announcements, and CANSLIM metrics — so you don't have to cross-reference manually. It's the difference between reading a spreadsheet and having a conversation with someone who already read it for you.

Common questions

Before you sign up

Is this really free?
Yes. The free tier gives you 10 signals per scan and full access to Scout AI. No credit card, no trial that expires, no hidden fees. We offer a Pro tier ($24.99 AUD/mo) for power users who want all 2,200+ signals, but the free tier is genuinely useful on its own.
Is this financial advice?
No. Scout provides general information, data, and scoring — not personal financial advice. We don't hold an AFSL. Always consider your own objectives, financial situation, and needs before making investment decisions.
What makes this different from other screeners?
Three things: frequency (6 scans per trading day vs once daily or weekly), AI (Scout AI answers your research questions using live data), and multi-dimensional scoring (six independent dimensions combined into one conviction score). Most screeners give you filters — Scout gives you ranked signals with explanations.
What happens after I sign up?
You'll land on the dashboard and see today's top signals immediately. A quick tour shows you how conviction scores, Scout AI, and filters work. Most people find their first interesting ticker within 60 seconds. No email verification required — you're in instantly.
Who built this?
SCD Labs — founded by a former licensed financial adviser with over a decade of experience across equities and derivatives. We built Scout because the ASX small cap space is chronically under-covered by institutions, and existing tools were either too expensive or too shallow for serious self-directed investors.
