How to Read Trading Signals

Trading signals are based upon stock indices values and stocks pricing data over 1 year (252 trading days) unless specified otherwise.

They primarily rely upon the analysis of closing stock indices values and stocks prices, volumes, minima and maxima over specific periods and key moving averages:

1. EMA20: the 20-Day Exponential Moving Average, a short-term average giving more weight to recent days movements
2. SMA50: the 50-Day Simple Moving Average, a mid-term price average
3. SMA200: the 200-Day Simple Moving Average, a long-term price average

Stock Index and Stock Data

1. Index or Stock Name: Click for chart with moving averages and details
2. Market Close Date: Date of trading available, at market close
3. Constituent Stocks Trends (Indices only): Click for list of index stocks trending UP, above their EMA20, or DOWN, below their EMA20.
4. Last Close / Change: index value or stock prices, and percentage chane to previous close
5. 50-Day Volume Significance (Stocks only): Last day volume comared to last 50-Day average volume
6. 1-Year Mean / Standard Deviation: mean and standard deviation of index value or stock price
7. 1-Year Return Mean / Standard Deviation: mean and standard deviation of index or stock returns (close-to-previous-close percentage change)

2. Price/SMA50: Price above (or below) SMA50
3. Price/SMA200: Price above (or below) SMA200

Moving Averages Crossovers

1. Z-Score / 20-Day Standard Deviation: the 20-Day standard deviation measures the short-term standard deviation on the last 20-day period. The Z-Score measure the number of 20-Day standard deviations between the current price and the current EMA20. A Z-Score of 2 is notably used to define the upper and lower bounds of the Bollinger Bands (TM) denoting, if stocks are trading in their lower or upper ranges.
2. Golden / Death Cross: highlights if an index or stock is at a Golden or Death Cross (if the SMA50 crossed above or below the SMA200, respectively), or if it passed this milestone in the last 5 trading days. Golden Crosses are signaled with a yellow-background cross with a (+) and the number of days it has passed the cross. Death Crosses with a black-background cross and a (-) sign with number of days passed.

3. Three boxes indicating the number of days the 3 key moving averages have been above (positive numbers) or below (negative numbers) each other:

   1. EMA20/SMA50: EMA20 above (or below) SMA50
   2. EMA20/SMA200: EMA20 above (or below) SMA200
   3. SMA50/SMA200: SMA50 above (or below) SMA200
