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 watches them all, 6 times a day — and explains what it finds in plain English.

Scout scans the full ASX automatically

Scout scans every ASX small-cap before you finish your morning coffee. Up to 6x per trading day, across 2,200+ stocks — automatically.

Surface public regulatory filings

Scout surfaces regulatory filings, director activity, and institutional moves automatically — so they're not buried in 50-page PDFs you'll never read.

Spot danger before it spots you

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

One score, six perspectives

Scout blends six analysis dimensions 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.

How it works

Three steps. Zero effort.

Here's how Scout works behind the scenes.

Step 1

Scout Scans

Scout monitors 2,200+ ASX stocks up to 6 times each trading day. Technical patterns, announcements, fundamentals, sentiment — all captured before you finish your coffee.

Step 2

Scout Scores

Each stock gets a score from 0–100, blending six independent dimensions: Technical, Catalyst, Fundamental, Momentum, Sentiment, and Risk. One number, multiple perspectives.

Step 3

Scout Explains

Ask Scout AI anything — it reads every signal and explains the setup in plain English. No spreadsheets, no guessing. Just ask and understand.

“From scan to plain English answer in under 3 seconds.”

Five ways to use Scout

Every feature maps to a real workflow. Here's how Scout analyses, surfaces, and explains what's happening across the ASX small cap universe.

Technical

The Compression Scanner

Review stocks showing range compression patterns

When a stock's trading range narrows and volume contracts simultaneously, it often precedes a significant directional move. Scout flags these compression patterns automatically across 2,200+ ASX small caps.

TechnicalVolume analysis
Multi-Factor

The Catalyst Stack

Review stocks where technical data coincides with a fresh ASX announcement

A bullish chart alone isn't enough. Neither is an announcement in isolation. Scout scores both independently, then surfaces stocks where technical momentum and a material ASX announcement converge.

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. Scout's fundamental dimension analyses cash reserves, burn rate, and debt levels — flagging stocks where dilution may be coming.

FundamentalRisk indicators
Insight

The Sentiment Divergence

Review stocks where sentiment 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. Scout tracks HotCopper activity, social media, 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, reference levels, recent ASX announcements, and more — so you don't have to cross-reference manually.

Common questions

Before you sign up

Is this really free?
Yes. The free tier gives you all 2,000+ signals, score breakdowns, CSV export, and 3 Scout AI messages per day — no credit card, no trial that expires. We offer Scout AI ($14.99 AUD/mo) for unlimited conversations and behavioral coaching, but the free tier is genuinely powerful 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 Scout different?
Three things: AI-first (Scout AI answers your research questions using live data), frequency (Scout scans 6 times per trading day), and multi-dimensional scoring (six independent dimensions combined into one score). Most screeners give you filters — Scout gives you ranked signals with plain English explanations.
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, too shallow, or missing AI altogether.
