Indicators & scores

Every number you can add as a column or filter, in plain English. Values come from the latest nightly scan unless noted. Descriptive statistics, not predictions.

Composite scores

Tech rank (0–100)

Technical strength against every stock we scan, in the style of StockCharts' SCTR. A percentile blend of price vs the 200-day average (30%), 125-day rate of change (30%), price vs the 50-day average (15%), 20-day rate of change (15%), RSI (5%) and 3-day rate of change (5%). 90 means stronger than about 90% of stocks: high is an uptrend leader, low a laggard.

Group rank (0–100)
