📖 How to use PegSignal

A plain-language walkthrough for first-time users. No finance background needed.

1. What this service does

1Sign up2Pick stocks3Get reports

Sign up with your email, choose the stocks you care about, and reports arrive automatically.

PegSignal looks at the 100 largest non-financial companies on the NASDAQ (the "NASDAQ100" — Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA and so on) — or, if you prefer, the broader S&P 500 (switchable anytime on the main screen) — ranks them by PEG ratio — price relative to how fast they're growing, and emails you the list. It also watches the specific stocks you pick and tells you when something changes.

2. The two emails you'll receive

📈 Selection report

"Here are today's top picks by PEG ratio"

A ranked list picked automatically from your chosen index (NASDAQ100 or S&P 500). You don't have to set anything up — this arrives on its own.

📊 Monitoring report

"Here's what's happening to the stocks you chose"

Only covers stocks you added to your watchlist. If your watchlist is empty, this email isn't sent.

3. What "PEG ratio" means

P/E ratio÷Growth rate=PEGLow PEGHigh PEG

PEG = P/E ratio ÷ growth rate. Lower means the price is smaller relative to growth.

A stock can have a high P/E ratio and still be reasonable if the company is growing fast. PEG captures exactly that: it divides the P/E ratio by how fast profits are growing. A lower PEG means the price is lower relative to that growth. We only include stocks with a PEG between 0 and 3.0, and earnings growth of 20% or more.

4. Reading the signal lamps

BuyNoneSellTrendMomentumVolume

Three independent checks. Volume has no buy/sell direction.

Trend — is the price generally heading up or down?
Momentum — has it been bought or sold too hard recently?
Volume — are unusually many people trading it right now?

Important: these three are shown separately on purpose. They are not combined into a single score, and a green lamp is not a recommendation to buy. Think of them as three different instruments on a dashboard.

5. Choosing your time horizon

ShortMidLong→ one month

Your choice changes both how sensitive the signals are and how often selection reports arrive.

Short-term reacts quickly and emails you every trading day, but produces more false alarms. Mid-term (the default) is a balanced weekly rhythm. Long-term only fires a few times a year — going quiet for a while is normal and expected.

You can change this at any time from the main screen, and it takes effect from the next report.

6. Choosing your index

NASDAQ100

The 100 largest non-financial companies on the NASDAQ — tech-heavy, and the default. Fewer stocks, so the ranking moves less from week to week.

S&P 500

500 large US companies across every sector, including finance, healthcare and energy. A wider net, so you'll see names that never appear in the NASDAQ100 list.

This setting only changes which index the selection report ranks. Your watchlist is unaffected — you can track stocks from either index no matter which one you pick here.

7. A typical week

A selection report arrives. Something catches your eye.

Tap "Add to watchlist" right inside the email.

From then on, that stock shows up in your monitoring reports.

Use the broker links or the "Ask an AI" prompt to dig deeper before deciding anything yourself.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every number here is produced by fixed formulas applied to public data, with no human judgment about whether you personally should buy anything. All decisions and their consequences are yours. See the Terms.

Does it cost anything?

No. It's completely free, and there is no paid tier. We never ask for card details.

How do I stop the emails?

Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and the main screen has "Delete account". Deletion is immediate and removes everything.

Where do the numbers come from?

Yahoo Finance. We pass their values through unchanged rather than recalculating them, so their accuracy and timing limits apply here too.
