Step 1: Spot the “LOCK” First

Look for the green “LOCK” tag, this is your high-confidence signal.
In the example, H.R. 5401, $KBR is marked as a LOCK.
- The related stock, KBR ($43.25), shows a green RSI number (26.4).
- That green number simply means the stock has fallen more than usual and is now in a “bounce-back” zone. This is often a point where prices start to rise again.
- In the same box, you’ll see a green MACD label.
- Think of this as a quick “momentum check.”
- When it turns green, it means the stock’s downward speed is slowing and buyers are starting to come back in.
- This shift in direction, shown by the negative MACD histogram , helps confirm that the pullback may be ending.

When you see both a green RSI and a green MACD, the system flags the stock as a LOCK, a setup where a short-term rebound is most likely. Interpretation: This is your strongest indicator of a potential upside opportunity.

Step 2: Understand What Makes a LOCK

A LOCK happens when two indicators line up to show that a stock may be ready to rebound:

RSI below 30: This means the stock has dropped more than usual and is considered oversold, often signaling a potential bounce.
MACD Hist is negative: This means the stock’s momentum has slowed down, but is starting to shift upward.

When both appear, the system automatically flags the stock as a LOCK.

Step 3: Identify “Almost Locks”

If the RSI or MACD values are getting close to lock levels, they’ll appear in black instead of red.

In the example, FOXA ($57.27) shows black RSI numbers, meaning it’s approaching the oversold zone (RSI below 30) but isn’t quite there yet.

Here’s how to read the colors at a glance:

🟩 Green numbers: Confirmed LOCK for that technical indicator. It has reached key levels.
⚫ Black numbers: Almost there, getting close to LOCK status.
🔴 Red numbers: Overbought or extended, less likely to move higher soon.

Tip: Stocks showing black RSI or MACD values are next in line to become LOCK candidates, so keep an eye on them.

Step 4: Connect the Dots

Combine legislative probability with technical setup:
- A bill with high pass likelihood (e.g., 80%+) and a stock in LOCK or near-lock territory is your top priority.
Example from the report:
- KBR (LOCK) → RSI 26.4 (green), MACD confirming upward potential
- FOXA (Almost LOCK) → RSI 38.0 (black), MACD confirming upward potential. Nearing the same setup

Step 6: Use It Daily
