MODULE 5 • LESSON 23

Complete Market Research Walkthrough

Estimated Time: 35 Minutes • Real Market Research Examples

Throughout the Academy you've learned individual concepts such as market structure, resistance, higher lows, accumulation and breakout analysis. In this lesson we'll bring everything together by following a complete EdgeBreak research session from start to finish. This is the same structured workflow members can use each day when researching the NASDAQ market.

What You'll Learn

  • How to perform a complete EdgeBreak research session.
  • Using every major platform feature together.
  • How to narrow thousands of stocks into a manageable watchlist.
  • Building a repeatable daily research routine.
  • Organising research for long-term monitoring.

Step 1 – Begin with the NASDAQ Scanner

Every research session begins with the NASDAQ Scanner.

Instead of manually searching thousands of charts, the scanner immediately identifies stocks displaying the characteristics you've chosen to research.

Begin by selecting your preferred Lookback period and adjusting any filters that match your research style.

At this stage, your goal is simply to organise the market—not make decisions.

The EdgeBreak NASDAQ Scanner is the starting point for every research session. Instead of manually reviewing thousands of NASDAQ-listed stocks, members can use filters such as Lookback Period, Resistance Touches, Higher Lows and Price Group to organise the market into a manageable list of research candidates. At this stage, the objective is not to make trading decisions but to identify stocks with characteristics that deserve further investigation using charts and additional EdgeBreak tools. EdgeBreak is designed as an educational research platform and does not provide financial advice.

Step 2 – Narrow the Results

Once the initial results appear, begin reducing the list using the available research filters.

Depending on your research preferences, you might review:

  • Price Group
  • Resistance Touches
  • Higher Lows
  • Volume Ratio
  • Distance to High
  • Appearances

Each filter helps reduce market noise and creates a more focused list of research candidates.

Adjust settings such as the Lookback Period, Resistance Touches, Higher Lows, Price Group and other criteria to organise the market according to your preferred research style before reviewing individual charts.

Step 3 – Apply the Smart Money Filter

Once you've narrowed the results, apply the Smart Money Filter.

This highlights stocks displaying organised accumulation characteristics that may deserve additional research.

Remember that the Smart Money Filter does not predict future price movement. It simply provides another layer of structured market analysis.

Figure. The Smart Money Filter can be applied to both the NASDAQ Scanner and the Breakout Scanner to further narrow your research. Rather than changing how the scanners work, it applies an additional layer of filtering, helping reduce the number of stocks returned so you can focus on a smaller group of research candidates for detailed chart analysis.

Step 4 – Review Individual Charts

Open each stock using the integrated TradingView chart.

Work through the same checklist every time.

  • Overall market structure.
  • Higher highs and higher lows.
  • Resistance levels.
  • Volume behaviour.
  • Accumulation characteristics.
  • Weekly trend.

Following the same checklist removes guesswork and creates consistency.

Analyse market structure, identify support and resistance levels, confirm higher lows, evaluate volume behaviour and compare multiple timeframes before deciding whether the stock deserves further research or should be added to My Workspace.

Step 5 – Compare with the Breakout Scanner

Next, open the Breakout Scanner.

Compare today's active breakouts with the stocks you've already researched.

Notice how completed breakouts differ from developing market structures still appearing in the NASDAQ Scanner.

This comparison improves pattern recognition and helps members better understand how breakout structures evolve over time.

Members can compare multiple Gold, Silver and Bronze breakout opportunities, review key breakout characteristics and open TradingView charts to continue their research. Reviewing a variety of breakout examples each day helps strengthen pattern recognition and develop a more consistent research process.

Step 6 – Build Your Research Watchlist

Save only the strongest research candidates to My Workspace.

Avoid saving every stock you review.

A carefully selected watchlist is easier to monitor and often provides greater long-term value than a large collection of unrelated stocks.

Save promising research candidates from the NASDAQ Scanner and Breakout Scanner, review charts using the integrated TradingView platform and monitor how market structure develops over time. Keeping your research organised in one place helps create a consistent, disciplined workflow and makes it easier to revisit opportunities as market conditions change.

Step 7 – Review Your Research

Before finishing your session, review the stocks you've saved.

Ask yourself:

  • Why did I save this stock?
  • Does the market structure remain organised?
  • Are higher lows still developing?
  • Would I save it again today?

Reviewing your own research is one of the fastest ways to improve pattern recognition.

Before adding a stock to your watchlist or continuing your research, consider the overall market structure, resistance touches, higher lows, volume behaviour, breakout quality and broader trend. Following the same checklist for every chart encourages objective analysis and helps build disciplined research habits over time.

Repeat the Same Process

The greatest strength of EdgeBreak is consistency.

Rather than constantly searching for new methods, continue following the same structured workflow each day.

Over time you'll become faster at recognising organised market structure and more confident using the platform.

A typical session begins with the NASDAQ Scanner, followed by research filters and the Smart Money Filter, before progressing to TradingView chart analysis, the Breakout Scanner and finally My Workspace for ongoing monitoring. Following the same workflow each day helps organise research, improve pattern recognition and build consistent market analysis habits over time.

The Complete EdgeBreak Workflow

  1. Open the NASDAQ Scanner.
  2. Select your preferred Lookback period.
  3. Apply research filters.
  4. Enable the Smart Money Filter.
  5. Review TradingView charts.
  6. Compare with today's Breakout Scanner.
  7. Save quality research candidates.
  8. Review your watchlist regularly.

Following this workflow helps transform EdgeBreak from a collection of individual tools into one complete market research platform.

Lesson Summary

A successful research session combines every major EdgeBreak feature into one structured workflow. By narrowing the market using the NASDAQ Scanner, applying the Smart Money Filter, reviewing charts, comparing active breakouts and organising research inside My Workspace, members can build a disciplined process that supports long-term market research.

Key Takeaways

  • Follow the same research process every session.
  • Use filters to reduce market noise.
