Traditional dividend capture is a zero-sum game, and we know it. We take a different approach: combining MACD crossover analysis and multiple technical signals with dividend cycle timing to screen high-yield dividend stocks for the entries actually worth making. Whether you're building passive income from dividends or actively trading around ex-dividend dates, you get the short list. You make the call.

Two email alerts per week with the securities that matter right now.
We maintain a watchlist of 200+ dividend-paying securities across 16 sectors — think of it as a curated dividend calendar. We run proprietary multi-signal analysis daily and surface the handful with upcoming ex-dividend dates and the strongest capture potential. You see the short list, not the haystack.
Each alert shows the capture amount, annualized yield, ex-date adjustment, last day to buy, and our signal analysis based on MACD, moving averages, and momentum indicators. No opinions, no predictions. The data you need to decide, laid out clearly.
No app to install. No dashboard to check. Alerts arrive Monday and Wednesday mornings. Open the email, see what's coming up this week, and decide whether to act. That's it.

Starting with the next Monday or Wednesday, you'll receive an email listing securities with upcoming ex-dividend dates in the next 10 days that pass our multi-signal analysis filter. Each entry shows the dividend amount, yield, last day to buy, and a brief technical summary. Occasionally we'll also flag a strong signal on a watchlist stock even if it isn't approaching an ex-date — consider it a heads-up worth a look.
We do the filtering. You do the deciding. Review the list, do your own research on any names that interest you, and make your own trading decisions through your existing brokerage. We never touch your accounts or tell you what to buy.

Why naive capture doesn't work, and what does.
When a company pays a dividend, the stock price drops by approximately the dividend amount on the ex-dividend date. Buy before, collect the dividend, and you're right back where you started. The dividend and the price drop cancel out. This is why most experts say dividend capture doesn't work.
They're right, for the naive version. But they're missing the bigger picture.
Stocks that pay regular dividends, especially monthly, create a repeating price cycle: drop on ex-date, recover over the following days, repeat. This oscillation is a natural by-product of the distribution mechanism, and the recovery is typically faster than you'd expect. That's where the opportunity lives.
We combine multiple technical analysis signals — MACD crossover velocity, trend positioning relative to moving averages, divergence acceleration, and recovery pattern tracking — with dividend cycle timing to identify entries where the technicals and the cycle are both working in your favor. We monitor recovery patterns, filter for securities with fast historical recovery, and surface only the best dividend stocks for capture. The result is a more capital-efficient approach to dividend income and dividend investing. Not by capturing the dividend itself, but by optimizing around the price dynamics it creates.
We don't predict recovery. We measure which securities consistently recover, how fast, and whether the current technical conditions support a position. You decide whether to act.
The dividend and the price drop are equal and opposite. The outcome depends entirely on what happens to the stock price after the ex-date. The typical daily price range is often several times the dividend amount.

Dividend capture involves real risk. Here's what to consider before acting on any alert.
On the ex-date, the stock price drops by approximately the dividend amount. The dividend and price drop largely cancel out. Our approach focuses on the recovery dynamics around this event, not the dividend itself. Recovery is never guaranteed, and outcomes depend on broader market conditions.
A typical quarterly dividend is 0.5–1.5% of the stock price. A typical daily price swing is 1–3%. Over a multi-day hold, the normal price fluctuation can be several times larger than the dividend you're capturing. The dividend is a small signal inside large noise.
If you sell within approximately 60 days, the dividend is taxed as ordinary income rather than at the lower qualified dividend rate. The offsetting price decline creates a short-term capital loss, which has different and less favorable tax treatment. Consult a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.
DivNow's technical analysis identifies historically favorable conditions. It does not predict whether any specific stock will recover after a particular ex-date drop. Historical recovery patterns may not persist. Favorable technical signals and fast historical recovery do not guarantee future results.
