Before the open

Market context

Breadth, sector, industry and theme rotation, the short side and the calendar, so you know what kind of day it is before you pick a name.

The sector rotation map in the app: eleven sectors placed as leading, weakening, lagging or improving, each with its path over the last six weeks, technology leading.

Breadth

Market breadth: five readings of the last session, from net direction to new highs against new lows, over the index's daily chart and its advancers-against-decliners pane.
  • A breadth chart in six panes: direction, volume, stocks above their 20-, 50- and 200-day averages, momentum, new highs and lows, and thrust.
  • Five cards that each read bullish, neutral or bearish, with one line that sums them up.
  • Today's reading updates live; earlier sessions are final. Look back a month to a year, or read it as a table.
  • A plain explanation of which stocks are counted and what each measure means.

Sectors, industries and themes

The theme board: themes heating up, cooling off, near their highs and seeing volume surge, then every theme ranked by heat with its returns, breadth and leading members.
  • Rankings by heat or by return over one week to six months, against the index you choose.
  • A rotation map that places each group as leading, weakening, lagging or improving, with its trail over recent weeks.
  • Each group's rank over the past quarter, half year or year.
  • Groups heating up, cooling off, near their highs, or seeing volume surge.
  • A page for every group: how it ranks, what makes it hot and how each member is doing. Screen a theme's members in one click.

The short side

A workspace of the short side: the Reg SHO threshold list with days on the list, one stock's short interest and short volume, a likely-hard-to-borrow verdict, and the most crowded shorts.
  • The Reg SHO threshold lists, with days on the list, names nearing close-out and names new today.
  • A short-sale restriction list, worked out from the day's prices.
  • The stocks most crowded by short sellers, and the ones funds added most last quarter, by sector.
  • For any stock: short interest as shares, % of float and days to cover, its off-exchange short volume ratio, and an estimate of how hard it is to borrow.

The calendar

The calendar for October: economic releases at their times, each day's earnings and corporate actions, and Columbus Day marked as a bank holiday.
  • Earnings, dividends and splits, and economic releases, by month or by week.
  • Narrow it to a watchlist or a saved screen, and to the event types and times of day you care about.
  • Earnings against estimates, and economic releases with the actual, estimate, previous and impact.
  • Market holidays and early closes, marked.
