Macro
The big picture: how much of the world's stock market is trending, where, and which groups lead.
Macro has three sections, listed in its sidebar: Overview, Markets and Trends. Every page has the Weekly / Daily and CAPR / Local switches at the top, opening on Weekly CAPR. The CAPR Overview, Winners and Losers count stocks; Geography & Sectors and the Trends pages average every asset carrying that region, country or sector, so ETFs, digital assets and futures count there too.
Overview — the CAPR Overview
The CAPR Overview is Macro's front page. It asks one question across the global stock market: how many stocks are in a Leading Trend and how many in a Bear Trend, on the Weekly CAPR regime?
- Tiles across the top give the day's key figures. The Score 5, Score 0 and average tiles follow the score switches; % Leading and % Bearish always use the Weekly CAPR regime.
- Global CAPR Breadth charts the share of stocks in a Leading or Bear Trend back to 2009, as weekly averages of daily shares. Either line can be swapped for Winners or Losers — every stock with a Weekly CAPR score of 5 or 0, wherever it sits in its range, so always at least as many as Leading or Bearish. Click the chart to move the Date to that week.
- The Leading vs Bear Map places every stock in either regime by country, then sector: regime in the inner ring, country in the middle, sector outside. Click a slice to zoom in and the centre to zoom out; zoom down to a sector to list its stocks.
Below the Screens plan the map either shows counts by country and sector for every stock without naming them, or leaves out the stocks your plan doesn't score; a note under the map says which.
Markets
- Geography & Sectors ranks every region, country and sector by its average trend score, in three charts. Below the Screens plan, groups with too few scored stocks are withheld, and the page says how many.
- Winners and Losers follow the stocks at a score of 5 and of 0: today's share by sector and region, and a region-by-sector table of it, over the stocks your plan scores. The history line covers the past year in the five largest regions.
Trends
Regional Trends, Sector Trends and Country Trends track each group's score distribution over time. A column of cards lists the groups — All first, then each group in ranked order. Click a card to show that group's breadth chart and summary beside the column.
Read the shape of a group, not just its average. A sector with most stocks at 4–5 is broadly trending; one split between 0s and 5s averages out to something unremarkable while really being a stock-picker's sector.
The score and regime definitions are on The ByteTrend score; how to use Macro in a workflow is in Your first screen.
