Methodology

How TrendRadar builds a report

TrendRadar converts daily market history into a set of technical context fields, then groups assets by transparent filters and strategy presets. The goal is to make research faster, not to automate investment decisions.

Data and processing flow

  1. Daily OHLCV history is collected for the maintained ticker universe.
  2. Indicator cache files are built from local history: moving averages, RSI, Stoch RSI, Williams %R, relative strength, liquidity, market regime, and other technical fields.
  3. The report generator merges current indicators with static company metadata and broker availability lists.
  4. Assets are displayed when they match at least one report candidate condition or selected strategy preset.

Core indicators

Stoch RSIMomentum cycle and pullback timing across weekly and monthly periods.
Williams %RAdditional momentum and overbought/oversold context.
RS vs SPYRelative strength comparison against a broad U.S. equity benchmark.
Liquidity fieldsFilters out assets with weak volume or unreliable trading history.
Ichimoku fieldsDaily, weekly, and monthly cloud context for trend-confirmed strategy research.

Why filters are combined

No single indicator is treated as sufficient. TrendRadar combines trend, momentum, liquidity, and historical strategy behavior because many standalone technical signals produce too many weak candidates.

The report labels are designed to make the reason for inclusion visible. A strategy badge links a current candidate to a documented historical rule set.

Known limitations

  • Historical data can contain gaps, symbol changes, delistings, survivorship effects, or vendor corrections.
  • Backtests use historical rules and cannot account for future liquidity, news, spreads, taxes, or execution quality.
  • Some strategy ideas require intraday data; TrendRadar's primary research layer is daily/weekly/monthly unless explicitly stated.
  • Published reports are research snapshots and may become stale as markets move.
