# Prime & Trending

> The record and the pulse. Same qualified tokens, two different questions.

The Alpha page shows the signal engine's qualified output as a table, in two tabs. Same tokens,
two orderings, and the difference between the orderings is the information.

|                     | **Prime**                                    | **Trending**                                   |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Question it answers | What just qualified?                         | What is moving right now?                      |
| Ordering            | Newest qualifying first                      | Live momentum rank                             |
| Updates             | New calls append at the top                  | Re-ranks continuously                          |
| History             | Never repaints                               | Reflects only the present                      |
| Best for            | Catching calls at entry, auditing the record | Timing attention among already-qualified names |

    </Frame>

    Prime lists calls in the order they qualified, and the list is append-only. Once a call
    enters, its row never repaints: the [PrimalScore](/alpha/primalscore) it fired with, the
    **First seen** time, and the entry market cap are frozen. The **MCAP** and **ATH** columns
    then measure what happened after, live.

    That makes Prime two things at once. A feed you can trade fresh calls from, and a public
    record you can audit. The frame here is Prime scrolled a week back: a call that entered at
    \$23.2K and peaked at \$7.96M for 343x, sitting next to calls that bled out. Both stay on
    the record exactly as they fired. That honesty is the point.

  <Tab title="Trending: the pulse">
    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/primaltrade/2oFKx-otBpXV33TQ/images/alpha-trending.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2oFKx-otBpXV33TQ&q=85&s=db5d04fe8c6501cfeba80f5eaa5c3378" alt="The Trending tab: the same qualified frame re-ranked live by momentum" width="1497" height="862" data-path="images/alpha-trending.png" />
    </Frame>

    Trending takes the same qualified frame and re-ranks it continuously by momentum: recency,
    breadth of confirming activity, volume and transaction acceleration, buy pressure, with
    stale names decaying down the list. Rows glide when ranks change and flash when they climb,
    so a surge is visible without re-reading the table.

    Use it as the "now" view. A call from six hours ago that just woke up climbs Trending while
    it stays fixed in Prime's chronology. When a name sits high on Trending with positive NET
    flow and top traders still in, the market is voting with money right now.

## Trade from either tab

Both tabs carry the ⚡ quick-buy on every row with the page's own amount and preset. Same
execution path as everywhere else.

<Tip>
  Read Prime to trust the pipeline. Read Trending to time it.
