TrendRadar FAQ
==============
Status: public FAQ draft
Last updated: 2026-06-05
1. Is TrendRadar investment advice?
-----------------------------------
No. TrendRadar is a technical-analysis screening tool. It helps narrow down a
large asset universe according to selected technical indicators. It does not
recommend that you buy, sell or hold any asset.
2. Why is TrendRadar temporarily free?
--------------------------------------
TrendRadar is temporarily available for free as a trial version while the
service is being tested and improved.
3. Will TrendRadar stay free in the future?
-------------------------------------------
Future monetization of TrendRadar may depend on whether advertising revenue can
cover the operating costs of the service.
Sharing the TrendRadar project page can increase the chance that the service
remains available for free in the future, but free availability is not
guaranteed.
4. Which assets are currently covered?
--------------------------------------
TrendRadar currently processes only assets denominated in USD.
Assets from Canada, Europe and other global markets may be added later, but
this expansion depends on whether the project can sustainably cover both the
current operating costs and the additional costs of a wider data universe.
5. Why does the page ask me to allow advertising?
-------------------------------------------------
Advertising helps keep the trial version available. If an ad blocker or browser
shield blocks advertising resources or breaks the page layout, TrendRadar can
show a notice asking you to allow advertising for this site.
6. Why does the page look broken in Brave with Shields enabled?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brave Shields can block or alter advertising-related page elements. TrendRadar
detects this and asks the user to disable shields for the site. After disabling
the shield, reload the page.
7. What does "Number of assets: X of Y" mean?
---------------------------------------------
X is the number of currently visible assets after broker and indicator filters.
Y is the total number of candidates loaded into the report.
8. What does Last update mean?
------------------------------
Last update shows when the HTML report page was generated or regenerated. It is
displayed in UTC, GMT and Central Europe time (CET or CEST depending on daylight
saving time).
It is not necessarily the timestamp of each individual market data point.
Latest close values come from the local daily history cache.
9. Can I select more than one indicator?
----------------------------------------
Yes. Indicator filters are multi-select. If more than one is selected, an asset
must match all selected indicator conditions.
10. What does Default indicators set mean?
-----------------------------------------
Default indicators set is the default TrendRadar indicator combination:
- Liquid assets only
- 200D MA cross
- 2W Stoch RSI rising
- Monthly Stoch RSI K crosses above 20
- Current monthly Williams %R > -50 & rising
11. What does All indicators set mean?
-------------------------------------
All indicators set selects every available indicator filter at the same time.
This is intentionally strict and can produce only a very small number of assets.
12. Why is 200D MA cross date empty for some rows?
-------------------------------------------------
An asset can be visible because it matches another selected indicator. If it
does not match the 200D MA cross condition, the 200D MA cross date is left empty.
13. What is the difference between 200D MA cross and Latest close > 200D MA?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
200D MA cross means that the price crossed above the 200-day moving average
recently and the latest close is still above it.
Latest close > 200D MA only checks whether the latest available close is above
the 200-day moving average. The cross may have happened much earlier.
14. What do the 200D MA slope over 63D filters mean?
----------------------------------------------------
This filter looks at the 200-day moving average itself, not directly at the
latest price. It is calculated as:
(MA200 today / MA200 63 trading days ago - 1) * 100
TrendRadar currently groups this value into three ranges:
0% to +1% = early stabilization
+2% to +4% = healthier trend improvement
+5% or more = stronger rising 200D moving-average regime
15. What does RS 3M vs SPY mean?
--------------------------------
RS 3M vs SPY compares the asset's 63-trading-day return with SPY's
63-trading-day return:
RS_3M = asset 63D return - SPY 63D return
For example, if an asset gained 18% and SPY gained 7%, RS 3M vs SPY is +11
percentage points.
TrendRadar currently offers three RS 3M vs SPY filters:
RS 3M vs SPY > 0% = outperformed SPY
RS 3M vs SPY > +5% = stronger outperformance
RS 3M vs SPY > +10% = very strong outperformance
RS 6M vs SPY is also calculated in the Indicators CSV for future filtering.
16. What is Latest close?
-------------------------
Latest close is the last available close price in the local daily history cache.
It is not necessarily the price from the 200D moving-average cross date.
17. Why can TradingView show slightly different current-month indicators?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some TrendRadar filters use only closed candles. The current-month Williams %R
filter uses the current incomplete month to be closer to what TradingView shows
during the month. Closed-month indicators can differ from live/current-month
views.
18. Why are stocks and funds separated?
---------------------------------------
Stocks and funds can behave differently. TrendRadar separates them to make the
report easier to read. The classification uses static fields such as isFund and
isETF and a conservative text heuristic for some fund-like descriptions.
19. What is XTB US only?
------------------------
It shows only US tickers that are also present in the local XTB instrument list.
XTB symbols such as ZYXI.US are compared to TrendRadar symbols without the .US
suffix, for example ZYXI.
20. Why are some assets missing from XTB US only?
-------------------------------------------------
The asset may not be available on XTB, the XTB symbol may not match directly, or
the local XTB list may need to be refreshed.
21. Why does an asset profile sometimes have no image?
------------------------------------------------------
TrendRadar uses locally cached images when available. If no image was found or
downloaded, the profile can still be shown without an image.
22. Why are descriptions available only in English and Czech?
-------------------------------------------------------------
English is the original source language. Czech translations are generated and
cached separately. Other languages may be added later if needed.
23. How often are reports updated?
----------------------------------
Reports are intended for daily updates after the US market close, when most
daily data should be available.
24. Where can I send feedback?
------------------------------
