Process

How
Zara
works

Zara is an AI agent that runs roughly two hours before market open against a curated 600-stock universe. It applies multi-signal scoring — trend, momentum, volume, structure — and produces a structured brief you read in minutes, not hours. Running pre-open means it also captures relevant overnight price action, not just the previous close.

01

Pre-market scan — ~2 hours before open

Roughly two hours before the market opens, Zara runs a 600-stock universe through a composite scoring model: trend, momentum, volume, and structure. The pre-open timing means overnight price action is captured, not just the previous close. A score of 0–100 ranks every candidate before any human judgment enters.

02

Filter and rank

Candidates that pass the filters move forward. Those that don't are included in the Watchlist Rejects section with the exact reason they were cut — so you understand the logic, not just the conclusion.

03

Brief delivered before open

Before the market opens, you receive the primary brief: setups with entry, stop, target, risk/reward ratio, RSI, and expected hold period. Plus a featured deep dive on one company — business context, industry positioning, and risks.

04

You decide what happens next

Zara is a research assistant, not a trade caller. It narrows the field and shows its work. The decision — and the risk — remains entirely with you. No black boxes.

Primary Brief

Setup A & B Candidates

Trend pullback and mean-reversion candidates with entry, stop, target, risk/reward ratio, RSI, composite score, and expected hold period. Every number shown, every assumption visible.

Transparency

Top 10 Watchlist Rejects

The top 10 stocks that met criteria but didn't quite qualify — shown with the specific reason they were cut. Understanding the near-misses teaches the filter logic over time and gives you stocks to keep an eye on independently.

Risk Signal

Earnings Proximity Flag 🔔

Any setup within 10 days of an earnings date is flagged with a bell icon. Stocks approaching earnings can move violently on results — this flag isn't a veto, it's a prompt to size down or stay out entirely until the event passes.

Risk Layer

Risk Notes

Sector concentration alerts, earnings timing flags, data-quality warnings, and weak risk/reward ratios. Things that might make you slow down before acting.

Deep Analysis

Featured Deep Dive

One company, fully examined. Business model, recent developments, industry positioning, setup rationale, and the reasons it might not work. Context you won't get from a chart alone.

Second Brief

ADX Channel Brief

A separate email for range-bound stocks showing channel setups. Everyone receives this alongside the primary brief — it's Strategy C, identifying stocks moving sideways between clear support and resistance. You review the chart and choose your own entry levels.

Included Always

Visible Rationale

Each candidate shows why it qualified or didn't — no black box, no blind trust required. The reasoning is visible in plain language alongside every setup, so you can agree, disagree, or dig further on your own terms.

What it looks like

A real brief,
minutes before
your inbox

This is what lands in your inbox — generated fresh each session, minutes before it hits your mailbox. Every field you see — entry, stop, target, R/R, score, RSI, hold period — is pulled against current market data, not recycled from the previous session.

The narrative below each setup explains why the stock qualifies, not just the numbers. The watchlist section shows what came close and exactly why it didn't make the cut.

Three
distinct
strategies

Zara screens for three separate setup types. Each targets a different market condition, hold period, and risk profile. Most services give you one approach — Zara gives you three, clearly labeled, with the conditions that make each one valid.

Momentum Continuation

Trend Pullback

Targets established market leaders experiencing short-term pullbacks within confirmed uptrends. You're buying strength on a dip — not weakness on a bounce. The most aggressive of the three strategies.

Hold period
5–15 days
Market condition
Strong uptrend
Risk profile
Moderate-to-high
Stop type
Tight (7-day low)

Entry criteria

  • Stock confirmed in uptrend — above key moving averages
  • Recent pullback creates a defined support level
  • Price beginning to resume upward momentum
  • Candidate quality rated Strong or Qualified by internal composite score
  • Target: prior 20-day high (resistance)

Mean Reversion

Deep Pullback Recovery

Targets stocks in broader uptrends that have pulled back more significantly — oversold on short-term timeframes but fundamentally intact. The trade bets on recovery back toward the 20-day moving average.

Hold period
1–2 weeks
Market condition
Uptrend, deep dip
Risk profile
Moderate
Stop type
Wider (7-day low)

Entry criteria

  • Long-term uptrend confirmed (above 200-day SMA or positive slope)
  • RSI between 20–60 — oversold to neutral
  • Price 0% to -35% below 20-day moving average
  • Positive momentum on most recent trading day
  • Candidate quality rated Strong or Qualified by internal composite score

Channel Range

ADX Sideways Setup

Targets stocks moving sideways in defined channels without a clear trend. When momentum begins shifting back to buyers near support, Zara flags it — but this strategy requires visual chart confirmation before entry.

Hold period
1–3 weeks
Market condition
Sideways, no trend
Risk profile
Low-to-moderate
Stop type
Discretionary

Entry criteria

  • ADX below 20 — sideways price action confirmed, no trend present
  • MACD histogram negative but turning positive — momentum shifting
  • Price near lower channel boundary (support zone)
  • Visual chart confirmation required — channel must be clean
  • Not a mechanical entry: this is a "watch and wait" signal

Important distinction

Zara tells you what to watch.
You decide when to act.

The ADX Channel Brief in particular is not a "buy now" signal. Zara identifies the setup pattern, but you must pull up the chart, confirm the channel structure visually, and wait for price to actually reach support. This distinction matters.

Zara is a decision-support system. It removes noise from the morning research process. The discipline, the timing, and the trade management remain with you.

"It is a decision-support workflow, not a fortune teller wearing a hoodie."

The builder

Built by someone
who trades with it
themselves

Zara was built by Sanjeev Manucha — senior technology program manager, solopreneur, and active options trader. Zara started as a personal tool to eliminate the time wasted on morning stock research. It became a product when other traders asked where the brief came from.

The same architecture that powers Zara — AI agents, structured scoring, daily automation — has been deployed for other businesses as custom workflows. Zara is a live proof of concept, not a demo.

What this is not

Not financial advice. Not an algorithmic trading system. Not a guaranteed signal service. No returns are promised. Markets are not predictable. Zara helps you research faster and think more clearly — that's it.
