How the trend score works, and what it is not.
The trend score on our screener, lookup, map and leader pages is the share of fourteen daily chart conditions that are true on the last close. It is a description of the chart. Here is every condition, how often it updates, and what it cannot tell you.
Close of Mon, Oct 26. Built Oct 30, 9:49 PM ET. End of day, updated after the US close on trading days.
The score is free to read. Members get the research desk with setups, followed up until they resolve, plus APOLLO ONE on the chart.

The limits, stated plainly.
It does not say what happens next. It has not been tested against future returns and we publish no return or hit-rate figures for it. Two stocks with the same score can have very different charts, because the score only counts conditions and does not weigh them.
It does not know about earnings dates, news, valuation or anything off the daily chart. The earnings calendar and the company filings linked from the movers page cover some of that.
The trend score, answered.
Is a high score a forecast?
No. The score counts conditions that are already true on the chart. Nobody has measured it against what happened next, so we make no claim that it predicts anything, and you should not read it as a rating.
Why fourteen conditions?
They cover the questions most chart readers ask first: is price above its averages, are the averages rising, where is it in its yearly range, is it keeping up with the S&P 500, and is volume heavier on up days. Each one is a plain yes or no.
How often does it update?
Once a day, after the US close, from completed daily bars. A bar for a session still trading is never used.
Why is there no price on the pages?
The pages carry percent changes, distances and counts computed from daily bars, not the prices themselves. For a full price chart, every symbol links to its page on TradingView.
Why does the score history only go back forty sessions?
Two of the checks need a full 52-week look back, and the stored daily history is a little over a year, so forty sessions is what can be computed honestly.
Which stocks are covered?
Companies listed on Nasdaq, NYSE and Cboe priced at $5 or more that trade at least $10 million a day on average over 20 sessions, plus the main sector and theme funds. Thinner names are left out because their charts are noisy.
