1. Confirm what the row represents
Open the stock or crypto view and select a mover. Check the asset class and identity before reading the percentage change. For a DEX result, confirm the chain and pair or contract information when available. Two tokens can share a symbol without representing the same asset.
Begin with a specific question, such as “What evidence accompanies this move?” A ranked position answers which result meets a sorting rule, not whether it is a suitable investment.
2. Check the clock and comparison period
Read the source, timestamp and data-mode labels. Compare changes calculated over the same period. A delayed stock quote and a recently updated crypto pair are not observations from the same instant.
If data is unavailable, treat the result as incomplete. Refreshing the page cannot create missing provider coverage or change a data entitlement.
3. Inspect the chart’s coverage
Open the selected instrument’s chart and choose an interval. Look at the available history and source before interpreting a shape or indicator. A short observed series may reflect only the current browser session.
Check whether the display provides the volume or history an indicator needs. Do not assume an absent field is zero, or that a chart drawn from intermittent observations contains every trade.
4. Read the original catalyst source
Open a related source-linked headline and compare its publication time with the move. Check that it discusses the same instrument. Separate an announcement from speculation, and a new report from a duplicate.
For example, a hypothetical stock row showing an 8% increase and a nearby headline is a research lead. The percentage and timing alone do not establish that the headline caused the increase. An AI summary should help locate evidence, not replace reading it.
5. Save the question you want to revisit
Add the instrument to Watch if you want to revisit the research. Use a note to record what remains uncertain and which source you checked. The current beta saves this work in the browser; it is not a brokerage record or a cross-device account.
Revisit the same question when there is new evidence. Keep the observed facts separate from your interpretation. See Mover’s data and methodology notes for coverage, storage and execution boundaries.
