ByteTrend 101
Your first screen
A guided run through the platform, wide to narrow — start with the map, end with a single asset.
The workflow
ByteTrend rewards working wide to narrow: start broad, find the strong or emerging areas, then drill into the assets driving them. Four steps. (If you subscribe, the Dashboard puts most of the first two on one page every morning.)
1. Start wide — the CAPR Overview
Macro opens on the CAPR Overview: how much of the global stock market is in a Leading Trend, and how much in a Bear Trend, on the Weekly CAPR regime — today, and back to 2009. Its map shows where those stocks sit, by country and then sector.
That is breadth: how broad or narrow the market’s leadership is. A market where a handful of names carry everything behaves very differently from one where most things are working.
2. Compare groups — Markets and Trends
Geography & Sectors, under Macro’s Markets, ranks every region, country and sector by its average score, so the day’s leadership is visible at a glance. Winners and Losers follow the stocks at 5 and at 0.
The Trends pages — Regional, Sector and Country Trends — track each group’s score distribution over time. Click a group’s card to chart it.
Read the shape, not just the average. A sector with most stocks at 4–5 and few stragglers is broadly trending. One split between 0s and 5s averages out to something unremarkable while actually being a stock-picker’s sector — the average hides exactly the thing you want to know. Macro covers each of these pages.
3. Drill down — Securities
The Securities section holds the full dataset across stocks, ETFs, digital assets, futures and FX — the ByteTrend universe. How much of it carries scores depends on your plan: without one, the largest stocks, ETFs and digital assets are scored and the rest are listed without stats; futures and FX are scored for everyone; on the Screens plan and above every asset is scored (Plans and universes has the table). Ways to work it:
- Filter by a Weekly CAPR score to find established, market-beating trends, then cross-check the Daily score for early signs of a turn. The filter bar also narrows by regime, sector, region, country and Vol Cat, and has a score filter for each of the four scores.
- Watch transitions as well as levels — the score-change and consecutive-week columns surface scores that are changing, which is where the information is.
- Sort any column and use the search box, which matches names and symbols as you type.
- Switch the View in the header to show fewer columns: All, Overview, Scores only, Momentum or Extension.
4. Confirm on the security page
Click any symbol for the full picture. The header shows the Weekly CAPR score and its regime. The chart opens on Weekly CAPR over ten years, carrying the moving averages and rolling high/low bands the score actually tests against, with 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 full history. Trend Analysis lists all four scores, each with its own regime, and the risk panel covers volatility and drawdown.
What you should have at the end
Not a buy list — a shortlist you understand: you know what score it holds, on which series and timescale, whether that score is rising or falling, and whether the group around it agrees.
