Before picking a stock, check whether the sector is even in play. Institutions buy quietly — a stock's relative strength usually rises before its price confirms a new high — and this workflow chains four Finmagine pages to trace that signal from sector-level strength down to a stock's exact entry readiness.

The Four Steps
1. Is the sector even in play?
1
On Market Breadth, sort sectors by Relative Strength. In this walkthrough, Healthcare topped the sort at 33% — genuinely the strongest sector that day, not a cherry-picked example.
2. Drill into the sector's own stock list
2
Clicking into the sector opens a stock-level panel ranked by each company's own RS Rating, with 80+ highlighted in green. Laurus Labs ranked #2 in the Healthcare drill-down, RS 96.
3. Narrow with PowerPlay, confirm on the RRG
3
On the RS Momentum Scanner, the native PowerPlay quick filter (RS ≥ 90, 3-month return ≥ 20%, within 10% of a 1-month high, above the 21 EMA) narrows the field — Laurus Labs cleared it at row 57 of 249 matches. The Sector RRG then confirms the rotation is real: Pharma sitting in the Leading quadrant, not just one stock looking strong in isolation.
4. Check entry readiness, not just conviction
4
Conviction Ranking is the payoff — an Entry Readiness checklist (Near 52-Week High, Hugging the 10-day EMA, RS ≥ 60, Sector Breadth ≥ 60%, Earnings Catalyst Score ≥ 70, Post-Earnings Drift active, Positive management tone). Laurus Labs scored 5 of 7 — the same five-signal check a discretionary swing trader would otherwise run by eye across separate charts, done automatically.
Why "before price" matters: A stock's relative strength climbing while price hasn't yet confirmed a new high is the classic CANSLIM-style leading indicator — RS moves first, price catches up (or doesn't). This workflow's companion, RS Before Price, isolates that exact lag as its own signal.
