How D Edge works

Each sector gets a score from −100 to +100, measured against the average stock (RSP), not against the S&P 500. RSP counts every company the same, so a few giants can't hide what the rest are doing.

Two things feed the score. R is relative strength: how the sector has been doing against the average stock, and whether that is speeding up or slowing down. M is the macro layer: what interest rates, the dollar, credit, copper against gold and the volatility market are saying. R counts a bit more than M.

Why so many zeros: the score only prints when R and M agree. When they point different ways, or when one of them is quiet, the sector reads 0 and the row says why: NO READ (they disagree), QUIET (nothing much moving), or LEADING, MACRO DISAGREES (strength is 70 or higher but the macro layer doesn't back it).

Chop. When the market has no clear direction, every score is scaled down 40%. That is a built in caution rule, so the board says less when the market is undecided.

EARLY tags a sector whose score just crossed ±35. It means "strong and new". It says nothing about how far it goes.

Momentum · Last 2 Weeks shows which sectors are gaining or losing ground on the average stock over about 2 weeks: losing steam on the left, gaining steam on the right, strongest first. A sector can be up and still losing steam. Each side ranks by its own move, not a dollar for dollar trace between sectors.

This Week · Money Flow shows each sector's move against the average stock this week, one square per session, with the last 52 weeks as context ("stronger than 47 of 52 weeks"). A struck square is a market holiday.

How It Developed · 14 Weeks is the quarter behind the week: each cell is how far a sector ran ahead of, or behind, the average stock over the prior 60 sessions.

Regime is the weather over the whole board: risk-on trend, risk-off trend, or chop. It describes the market's broad trend and stress. It does not say which sectors lead next.

Macro Lead Tape shows the gauges behind the M layer: rates, the dollar, credit, copper against gold, and the volatility curve. Green means the gauges read calm; red means stressed. Below them, rotation pairs show which side of a pair money has favored lately. Software vs Chips is drawn in gray because it isn't a risk-on or risk-off read.

How many stocks in each sector sit above their own 50 day average. We tested breadth as a score input and left it out. It stays on the board as a health check only.

Catalysts is the calendar: earnings, the Fed, inflation, jobs and the rest, through the end of the year. This week's releases show what economists expect, so you can see whether a number beat or missed the moment it lands. Tap one for what it is and what it has moved in the past.

Market Replay finds past sessions that looked like today and shows what followed them, as a spread of outcomes. History rhymes; it doesn't repeat. Context, not a prediction.

Index Board (Edge and up): the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 with a WHY button that explains the day's move in plain English from the board's own numbers.

Today's Setups (Edge and up): the three names where the most conditions line up. "Edges aligned" counts conditions, not odds of winning. It is often empty.

Premium Sectors (Edge Pro): the strongest sectors right now, labeled by strength. Strong means 70 or more, the same line the board calls. Always filled, so "building" and "mild" are weaker readings, not hidden gems. The order below 70 shows where money has been going; it is not a forecast of the next sector.

Trade Ideas (Edge Pro): a sector with strong rotation, its strongest name, and the nearest price where buyers have stepped in before. Only the rarest readings show here, so it is often empty. Research, not a recommendation.

Close Read (all plans) is the whole board written out, anchored to the last completed session. Hour Read (Edge and up) is the same idea during market hours, from the 15 minute sector tape.

Two lenses on the same engine. Bullish lists sectors money is flowing into, strongest first. Bearish lists the ones it is leaving: a read, not a short list. Edge and up also see the names inside each sector that clears 70, listed A to Z, with a checklist of where price sits. A list to research, not a list to buy.

Dividends (Edge and up): every covered stock that pays, with price, last payment, yield, its sector's read, the last ex-date, and whether the payment was raised, held or cut. Own it before the ex-date to get the payment. Facts only, no rating.

ETFs (Edge Pro): dividend paying funds grouped by what each is for. A fund is not automatically safer than one company.

The whole year, month by month. Each sector against the average stock, which sector led each month, each sector's own growth, where the money sits (each sector's share of dollars traded), and how far every stock sits from its own 200 day average. Tap a sector name for its own screen. The first open after an update takes a moment to build.

The Wire: the last two days of news, ranked by where the board shows money moving, not by what got published last. Paid press releases are left out.

Insiders: SEC Form 4 filings, with planned sales separated from open market buys, and buy clusters (two or more insiders buying). Filings arrive about two days late by law. Facts only.

Type a ticker in the search box. Every plan sees what the company does. Edge and up get the full card, in this order: The Layers (does this stock agree with its sector?), the Setup Checklist (bias, level, confirmation), an Illustrative Setup with its own disclaimer, the next earnings date, support and resistance from daily swings, and confirmation from EMAs and momentum. Edge Pro adds the Multi-Timeframe Read (weekly down to 30 minutes) and the Yahoo, Finviz and SEC links. Add any name to your watchlist from the card.

Inside a sector, See the names opens the sector drill: your watchlist first, then the sector's other movers. why? on any row opens Signal Receipts: the direct reason for the score and the headline behind it, which is context, not proof of cause.

Watchlist: your names, saved to your account. Board: a chalk board for your own notes and ideas, saved to your account, so it follows you across devices. ✎ next to the welcome line changes how the room greets you.

Sector rotation is money moving between the rooms of the house. Tech is crowded one month, energy the next. D Edge measures that movement; it doesn't guess at it.

Swing trading means holding a position for days to a couple of weeks, not minutes and not years. The board's daily numbers are built for about that window.

Calls and puts, in general terms: a call is a contract that gains if a stock rises by its expiry date; a put gains if it falls. Both can expire worthless. Nothing on D Edge is a signal to buy either one.

Three rules: D Edge is a filter, not a command. A quiet board is telling you something. Decide your exit before you enter.
