Extreme cold
Priority research zone, not proof of a bottom.
HOW TO USE NORTHSTAR
Understand the score
before you use it
Northstar is not an automated trading tool and does not make conclusions for you. It organises public market data into a consistent research sequence, helping you identify what deserves further checking before you independently assess price, quality and risk.
SCORE SYSTEM 01
How to read temperature
Temperature runs from 0 to 100. For US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, A shares and ETFs, a lower score means a relatively colder position that deserves further research. A higher score is hotter and should not be treated as a dip buying signal.
Deep cold
Check fundamentals, announcements and stabilisation signs.
Mildly cold
Worth watching, but not the highest priority.
Neutral
Not a low price research zone. Return to the holding thesis.
Elevated heat
Review risk. Do not mistake strength for safety.
Hot
The margin for chasing is narrower. Review position size first.
Extreme heat
Risk is accumulating. It does not mean a top is immediate.
PERSONAL RADAR
How to use personal radar
Personal radar is saved with your account. It pulls the assets you genuinely care about out of the global scan so they can be reviewed separately. It is a research priority list, not an automated trading list.
- 01Search, then add
At the top of the research room, enter a ticker, Chinese or English name. You can also select Add to my radar on any asset detail page.
- 02Update only your own list
Update my radar reads only the assets followed by your account, making a daily review faster and more focused.
- 03Move from signal to detail
When you see a cold or hot prompt, open the asset detail and check fundamentals, fund structure, announcements and your own position.
It describes the current relative price position. A low score is a research clue, not a reason to buy.
Scores above 80 warrant a risk and position review, but are not a sell instruction.
Crypto uses a separate time horizon and two models. Do not compare it directly with stock temperature scores.
DIP RESEARCH STARS
Dip research stars
★★★★★
Stars are derived from temperature or crypto low price research strength. More stars only mean higher research priority. They are not a purchase probability or a return promise.
QUALITY SCORE
Fundamental and ETF quality
8.2 / 10Quality scores organise public financial, valuation and cash flow data, or fund size, cost, performance, risk and diversification. They assess structure, not entry timing.
WORKFLOW
Put Northstar into your investment process
- 01Start with a signal
Use the global scan or personal radar to identify what deserves research or a risk review.
- 02Read the detail
Open the asset page and understand why the current score appeared rather than relying on a single number.
- 03Verify original sources
Review the latest financial reports, company announcements, fund documents, exchange disclosures and material events.
- 04Assess your own situation
Put cash needs, time horizon, existing exposure and acceptable loss ahead of any model score.
- 05Wait for confirmation
Cold assets can keep falling and hot assets can stay hot. Risk management matters more than calling tops or bottoms.
WHAT SCORES CAN HELP WITH
Create a more consistent research sequence
- Compare many assets using a consistent rule set
- Show a relative hot or cold position in the available historical sample
- Separate company quality, fund structure and high price risk
- Prompt a fresh risk budget review when markets become hot
WHAT SCORES CANNOT TELL YOU
They do not predict the future
- They do not predict exact bottoms, tops or future returns
- They cannot identify inside information, manipulation, fraud or surprise announcements
- They do not replace company announcements, fund documents or regulatory disclosures
- They do not provide advice tailored to your income, liabilities or risk tolerance
