Using ByteTrend
ByteTrend rewards a wide-to-narrow workflow: start broad, find the strong (or emerging) countries, sectors and groups, then drill into the assets driving them.
New to the score itself? ByteTrend 101 explains it from the ground up; this page assumes it and gets straight to the platform.
1. Start wide — Macro
The Macro page ranks regions, countries and sectors by average score, so the day's leadership is visible at a glance, helping asset allocators focus where the performance is. It also tracks the actual performance of each trend category, as sometimes Leaders outperform, and sometimes Bearish stocks do. Breadth, in local and CAPR terms, shows how broad or narrow market leadership is.
2. Compare groups — Region, Sector, Country
The Region, Sector and Country pages show each group's average score distribution. A sector with most stocks at 4–5 and few stragglers is broadly trending; one split between 0s and 5s is a stock-picker's sector. The chart at the top shows how the distribution has shifted over the past year, and hovering a group's card focuses the chart on it.
3. Drill down — the Securities platform
The Securities section holds the full dataset across stocks, ETFs, digital assets, commodities and FX. Ways to work it:
- Filter by a Weekly CAPR score to find established market-beating trends; cross-check the Daily score against the Weekly for early signs of a turn.
- Watch transitions, as well as levels — the Chg columns and the consecutive-week counts surface scores that are changing, which is where the information is. (The sparkline beside each score shows CAPR shape, not the score's path.)
- Filter and search — every column header can be sorted high to low; the search box matches names and symbols as you type.
- Switch the View (in the header) between the full dataset and a scores-only layout when you want less noise.
4. Confirm on the security page
Click any symbol for its full picture: a price or CAPR chart with the moving averages and rolling high/low bands the score actually tests against, plus a score history beneath the price so you can see how the trend was built. The score-type selector switches between the four Local/CAPR × Daily/Weekly variants, and the timescale buttons run from three months to the full history. The trend and risk panels summarise regime, deviation, volatility and drawdown.
Habits that help
- Local strong, CAPR weak? The asset rises but lags the market. Fine in absolute terms, but not in relative performance.
- Respect the Weekly, act on the Daily. The Weekly score defines the regime; the Daily score times entries and exits within it.
- Use volatility for context. A high-volatility asset will whipsaw its Daily score more than a low-vol one.
- Check breadth before chasing. A lone 5 in a weak sector is fragile. A score of 5 in a sector full of 4s and 5s has the wind behind it.
Each of these is expanded in Habits that help; the terms are defined in the Glossary.
