Understand the terms before using the signal.
Definitions describe how AssetScreener uses each term. Other research providers may define the same words differently.
Relative strength
A comparison of one asset with another, often expressed as a ratio or as normalized percentage performance.
Normalized performance
A comparison where each series begins at the same reference value, usually 100.
Percentile
The percentage of observations in a lookback window that are less than or equal to the current observation.
Market regime
A descriptive combination of trend, breadth, liquidity and relative-performance conditions.
Trend breadth
The share of tracked price assets that meet a defined trend condition, such as trading above a 200-day moving average.
Simple moving average
The arithmetic mean of the latest fixed number of observations. It is a lagging measure.
Absolute momentum
An asset’s own percentage change over a defined period. AssetScreener compares six-month and twelve-month momentum without treating either horizon as a prediction.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
A bounded momentum oscillator calculated with Wilder smoothing. AssetScreener uses the 50 midpoint as directional confirmation rather than treating 70 or 30 as automatic reversal signals.
Moving-average crossover
The relationship between a faster and slower moving average. AssetScreener reports whether the 50-day average is above or below the 200-day average and the date of the latest structural cross.
Historical price position
The percentile rank of the latest price inside its own stored lookback window. It is not an estimate of intrinsic fair value.
M2 money supply
A broad measure of money in the economy that commonly includes cash, checking deposits, savings deposits and certain retail money-market balances.
Liquidity
The availability of money and credit and the ease with which assets can be bought or sold. AssetScreener uses the term contextually rather than as one universal measure.
Stored record high
The highest value contained in the configured AssetScreener database, which may differ from an exchange or provider’s full historical record.
Lookback window
The historical interval used to calculate a statistic, such as three months, one year or three years.
