Every metric and indicator on the site — what it is, how to read it, and its limits
Technical indicators 28
The average closing price over the last 50 or 200 days. Price above a rising average suggests an uptrend; the 50 crossing the 200 is the famous golden/death cross.
Measures how fast price has risen or fallen recently, on a 0–100 scale. Above 70 is often 'overbought' (stretched), below 30 'oversold'. It describes stretch, not direction — stretched stocks can stay stretched.
Compares a fast and slow average of price. When the gap (histogram) is above zero and growing, momentum is with the buyers.
A band two standard deviations around the 20-day average. Price hugging the upper band is strong but stretched; piercing the lower band often marks washouts.
Where today's close sits inside the recent high-low range. Above 80 momentum is hot; below 20 it's washed out.
Whether volume is above its 20-day average, and in which direction. Big moves on big volume are more trustworthy than the same move on thin volume.
Measures trend strength, not direction. Above 25 means the current trend — up or down — has real force behind it.
Levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%…) of the last big swing where pullbacks often pause; watched as support and resistance.
A Japanese system drawing a 'cloud' of past highs and lows projected forward. Price above a green cloud signals a healthy uptrend.
Dots that trail price and flip sides when the trend reverses — a simple stop-and-reverse signal.
Like Stochastic, inverted: 0 to −100. Below −80 is oversold, above −20 overbought.
How far price has strayed from its typical level. Beyond ±100 marks unusually strong moves.
Adds volume on up days, subtracts it on down days. Rising OBV while price is flat hints at accumulation.
The average daily trading range in the stock's own currency — a pure volatility gauge, often used to size stops.
Momentum via the gap between 5- and 34-period midpoints. Above zero favors the buyers.
Volume-weighted buying versus selling pressure over 20 days. Above +0.05 means money is flowing in.
How recently price made a new high versus a new low. Aroon-Up above 70 with Aroon-Down under 30 marks a fresh uptrend.
Levels computed from the prior session's high, low and close (P, R1, S1…) that intraday traders treat as magnets.
The 50-day average crossing above the 200-day — a classic long-term bullish signal.
The 50-day average crossing below the 200-day — the bearish mirror image.
A candle that opens and closes at nearly the same price — indecision, often before a turn.
A green candle whose body swallows the prior red one — buyers seizing control.
A red candle swallowing the prior green one — sellers seizing control.
A candle with a long lower wick after a decline — sellers pushed price down and lost.
A stretch reading combining RSI, Stochastic and Williams %R. Overbought means the recent rise is unusually fast — not that the stock must fall; oversold is the mirror.
A −1 to +1 summary of how the enabled indicators lean together right now. It compresses many signals into one number and inherits all their limitations.
The app's 0–100 blend of momentum, trend and (when available) valuation signals. A summary of stored data, recomputed after data refreshes — not a recommendation.
How this stock historically performed in each month or week of the year. History rhymes but does not repeat — treat it as context, never a schedule.
Valuation 6
Price ÷ earnings per share: how many years of current profit the market pays for the stock. High P/E prices in future growth; negative earnings make it meaningless.
P/E using analysts' EXPECTED next-year earnings instead of the reported ones — cheaper-looking, but only as good as the forecasts inside it.
P/E ÷ expected growth rate. Near 1 suggests the price is fair for the growth; well above 2 suggests paying up.
Market value ÷ accounting net assets. Useful for banks and asset-heavy firms; less meaningful for software and services.
Enterprise value (equity + debt − cash) over operating cash profit. Compares businesses regardless of how they are financed.
Annual dividends ÷ share price, as a %. A very high yield can be a warning that the market expects a cut.
Profitability & financials 6
Net profit ÷ shareholders' equity: how hard the owners' money works. Above ~15% is strong; buybacks can inflate it by shrinking equity.
Profit kept from every unit of revenue, as a %. Rising margins mean pricing power or cost control; thinning margins mean pressure.
This period's sales versus the same period last year. The cleanest single read on whether the business itself is expanding.
Net profit ÷ shares outstanding: the profit behind each single share, in the statement's currency.
Borrowed money versus owners' money. Higher leverage magnifies both profits and trouble; norms differ by industry.
The last day of a company's reporting quarter — NOT the day results are announced. Announcement dates need a verified feed the app does not have yet.
Risk & statistics 5
How much the stock moves for every 1% the market moves. Beta 1.5 is roughly 50% more volatile than the S&P 500.
Annualized standard deviation of daily returns — how bumpy the ride is. 20% is calm; 60%+ is rough.
The worst peak-to-trough fall over the period — the pain you'd have felt buying the top.
How much two stocks move together, from −1 to +1. Above 0.7 means they are nearly the same bet.
Spreading money across positions that do NOT move together. Ten highly-correlated stocks are one concentrated bet wearing ten names.
Shariah & Zakat 6
An AAOIFI-style test of a company's business activity and financial ratios (debt, non-permissible revenue). Ratings here come from the Zoya provider; 'TEST' badges mean sandbox data that never qualifies a stock as compliant.
Interest-bearing debt ÷ market cap. The common screening limit is 33% — above it the stock fails the financial screen.
The share of revenue from prohibited activities. The common limit is 5%; small amounts are cleansed through purification.
The % of dividends/gains to give to charity to cleanse the non-permissible portion of a compliant company's income.
For shares held to trade: 2.5% of full market value once a lunar year passes. The app's figure is an estimate from stored prices.
For long-term holdings, scholars differ: zakat on returns (dividends and realized profits at 2.5%), or on the company's zakatable assets (approximated here at 30% of value). Ask a scholar for significant amounts.
Forecasts 4
The 25th–75th percentile of THIS stock's own historical moves over the chosen horizon, anchored to the current price. It says 'moves this size were typical' — it does not predict direction.
The price a forecast band was computed FROM, with its session. If price has moved a lot since, read the band relative to that anchor, not today's print.
The share of matured forecasts whose realized close landed inside the band. A 25–75 percentile band targets ~50% by construction — much higher usually means the band is too wide to be useful.
How much history backed the computation (sample size), not how sure the future is. Low confidence = thin history.
Portfolio & trading 8
Your average purchase price per share. Profit/loss is measured against it.
The gain or loss you WOULD have if you sold at the latest stored price. It changes every session and is not money in hand.
Shares × price: the total money a position controls. The calculator caps it at what your cash can buy.
A stop placed below a real chart level (support, swing low) rather than a round % — where the trade idea is objectively wrong.
The price where you plan to sell into strength. With the stop, it defines your reward-to-risk before you enter.
Potential gain to the target ÷ potential loss to the stop. Below 2:1, you must be right most of the time just to break even.
Shares = risk budget ÷ (entry − stop), capped by cash. Size comes from the stop distance, not from conviction.
Plan limits count DISTINCT stocks across all your lists — the same stock on two lists uses one slot.
Market basics 6
The official closing price of the prior session. Daily change % is measured against it.
The trading day a price belongs to — a calendar label, not a clock time. When a provider gives only a date, the app never invents a time for it.
Share price × shares outstanding: what the whole company is valued at by the market.
Buy BEFORE this date to receive the announced dividend; the price typically opens lower by roughly the dividend on the day.
US pre/post-market trading. Thin volume makes prices jumpier; the app keeps these quotes separate from the daily series.
Open-market buys/sells by a company's own executives and directors (US SEC filings only for now). Clusters of genuine buys are the interesting signal; automatic awards are not purchases.
