Golden Goose Picks — Recoil List (Revamped & Stronger Than Ever)
Published January 14, 2026
Over the past week, I’ve completed a major overhaul of the Golden Goose Picks engine — the biggest structural upgrade since the system launched. The goal was simple:
make the signals cleaner, more disciplined, and more trustworthy.
The new modular architecture now evaluates each setup through a series of independent behavioral layers:
Surge integrity (did the surge actually hold?)
Recoil structure (did price dip into the expected zone?)
Seasonal lift & reliability
Trend alignment (MA10/20/50)
Behavioral tagging (SAFE, WAIT‑FOR‑DIP, BROKEN, etc.)
The result is a list that finally reflects the true behavior of each stock — not noise, not intraday spikes, not false positives. You’ll notice the difference immediately.
Below is today’s full recoil list, generated using the revamped Golden Goose engine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recoil Zone —
The price window where a stock usually dips and stabilizes after a surge.
If price is inside this zone, the behavior is normal and expected.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behavioral Signals:
🟩 SAFE & READY —
The stock is inside the recoil zone and the surge‑recoil structure is intact.
This is the actionable moment — the setup is behaviorally valid.
🟨 WAIT‑FOR‑DIP —
The stock is above the recoil zone.
The surge is valid, but price is too high. Wait for a pullback into the zone.
🟨 WAIT FOR ZONE RECOVERY —
The stock has dipped below the recoil zone.
The setup is still valid, but price must recover back into the zone before it becomes actionable.
🟥 SURGE & RECOIL BROKEN —
The surge failed integrity or the recoil structure is invalid.
This setup is no longer behaviorally tradable.
