Frequently asked questions

What exactly is an ATH breakout?+

When a stock closes above its previous all-time high, it enters uncharted territory with no overhead resistance — historically the strongest setup for continued momentum.

What is Trend Return?+

Trend Return is the theoretical annualized return calculated from a linear regression on the stock's logarithmic price over the selected horizon (3, 6 or 12 months). It represents the expected annualized return implied by the current trend line if the trend continues at the same pace.

This is not a guaranteed forecast — trends can slow down, reverse, or change direction at any time.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel from your account settings and you keep access until the end of your billing period.

Do you provide buy/sell recommendations?+

No. ATHScanner is a research and screening tool. We surface data-driven signals — you make your own trading decisions.
