Ranks stocks by a combination of their overall Opinion, signal strength and signal direction to come up with a list of the top and bottom stocks by Opinion.

Each analytic used within the signals is rated by signal strength and direction. The strengths are allocated 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 points; the directions are allocated 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points. This gives a maximum of 55 points per signal. The totals are added up depending on buy, sell and hold rating and ranked 1 to 100 for the top 100 bullish stocks and the top 100 bearish stocks.

The signal strength and signal direction ratings are available from the advanced opinion pages. Signal strength and signal direction are independent of the signals rating.

Site Members may also opt-in to receive an End-of-Day email report of the 5 top and bottom symbols found on this Trading Signals page. The End-of-Day email digests are sent at 5:30 PM CT, Monday through Friday.

The page is initially sorted by Today's Opinion. You can re-sort the page by clicking on any of the column headings.

Note: Opinions on each symbol are updated every 20 minutes throughout the day, using delayed data from the exchanges. A security needs to have at least 201 active trading days in order to generate an Opinion reading.

Barchart Opinions

Barchart Opinions show traders what a variety of popular trading systems are suggesting in terms of going long or short the market.

The Opinions takes up to 2 years' worth of historical data and runs these prices through thirteen different technical indicators. After each calculation, the program assigns a buy, sell or hold value for each study, depending on where the price lies in reference to the common interpretation of the study. For example, if the price is above the moving average of the stock then this is generally considered an upward trend or a buy.

Note: A security needs to have at least 201 active trading days in order to generate an Opinion reading.

Screen

Available only with a Premier Membership, you can base a Stock Screener off the symbols currently on the page. This lets you add additional filters to further narrow down the list of candidates.

Example:

Click "Screen" on the page and the Stock Screener opens, pulling in the symbols from the Opinions page. Add additional criteria in the Screener, such as "20-Day Moving Average is greater than the Last Price". View the results and save them to a Watchlist, or save the Screener to run again at a later date. Running a Saved Screener at a later date will always present a new list of results. Your Saved Screener will always start with the most current set of symbols found on the Opinions page before applying your custom filters and displaying new results.

Data Updates

For pages showing Intraday views, we use the current session's data, with new price data appear on the page as indicated by a "flash". Stocks: 15 minute delay (Cboe BZX data for U.S. equities is real-time), ET. Volume reflects consolidated markets. Futures and Forex: 10 or 15 minute delay, CT.

The list of symbols included on the page is updated every 10 minutes throughout the trading day. However, new stocks are not automatically added to or re-ranked on the page until the site performs its 10-minute update.
