SmallCapData is a free ASX small cap screener that algorithmically scans over 2,200 ASX-listed small cap stocks up to 6x per trading day. Each stock is scored from 0 to 100 across six dimensions: technical analysis, fundamental quality, upcoming catalysts, market sentiment, momentum quality, and risk assessment. It is built specifically for Australian small cap investors and provides general information only — not financial advice.
Yes, entirely. You get the events and reporting calendar for the whole ASX, all 2,000+ daily signals with full score breakdowns, CANSLIM analysis, CSV export, screeners, sector analytics, company pages and the paper track record. There is no paid plan, no card and nothing held back. An account is optional and only saves your watchlist, portfolio and challenge picks.
SmallCapData scans the full ASX small-cap universe of over 2,200 tickers up to 6x per trading day. Scan results are refreshed throughout market hours and published to the dashboard after each run. The screener covers all ASX-listed small cap stocks under approximately $4 billion market capitalisation.
Our universe starts at 2,200+ ASX-listed small caps. We then apply quality filters — minimum $5M market cap, under $4B, and minimum 10,000 average daily volume — to remove illiquid, suspended, or out-of-range stocks. After filtering, approximately 1,400+ stocks are scored each scan. Both numbers are accurate at different stages of the screening process.
Our algorithm scores each stock across six weighted dimensions: Technical (20%), Catalyst (40%), Fundamental (20%), Momentum (10%), Sentiment (5%), and Risk Assessment (5%). Data sources include ASX announcements, price and volume data, financial statements, ASIC filings, social sentiment, and search trends. Specific indicator thresholds and sub-factor calculations within each dimension are proprietary.
No. SmallCapData provides general information only. It is an algorithmic screening tool that presents calculated data points. It does not constitute personal financial advice, and we do not hold an AFSL. You should seek independent advice from a licensed professional before making investment decisions.
The conviction score (0–100) is a proprietary composite that blends multiple analysis dimensions into a single number. HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW conviction levels reflect different tiers of algorithmic confidence. It is a quantitative starting point for your own research — not a buy/sell signal.
Unlike generic global screeners, SmallCapData is purpose-built for ASX small caps. It combines multiple analysis dimensions into a single proprietary score, using data sources specific to the Australian market that most international tools don't cover.
Yes. New subscriptions are closed — everything on the site is free — and if you subscribed previously you can cancel at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal. Nothing you can see today depends on a subscription.
Conviction tiers group signals by their composite score: VERY HIGH (82+), HIGH (70–81), MEDIUM-HIGH (60–69), MEDIUM (50–59), and LOW (below 50). Higher tiers indicate more algorithmic screening criteria were met across the six scoring dimensions. They are a research starting point — not a prediction of future performance.
The conviction score (0–100) blends six weighted dimensions: Technical (20%), Catalyst (40%), Fundamental (20%), Momentum (10%), Sentiment (5%), and Risk Gate (5%). Each dimension analyses multiple sub-factors from public data sources including ASX announcements, price/volume data, financial statements, ASIC filings, social sentiment, and search trends. The exact sub-factor weightings are proprietary.
Yes. Everything is free and no card is required: the whole-ASX events calendar, every daily signal, the screeners, company pages, a paper portfolio, sector snapshots and alerts. There is nothing to upgrade to.
SmallCapData is free. Under the Radar Report covers roughly 100 stocks for $697 a year with weekly picks; Motion Trader covers 2,000+ stocks for $3,495. Neither publishes a reporting calendar for the whole exchange with each date labelled by how it is known, which is what this site is built around. See full comparison →
