Measures the historical growth and stability of a company's earnings and dividends for the past 10 years. The ranking system has various grades:
So as not to be biased by future expectations, the rankings are based on past events only. The S&P Ranking System does not use earnings and dividend estimates. An S&P ranking is not a recommendation to buy or sell the stock of a company. S&P common stock rankings should not be confused with debt quality ratings. |

| RSI 10 Day | Relative Strength Index indicates the degree of positive and negative movements by the stock on a scale of 0 (weakest) to 100 (strongest).

This ratio is multiplied by 100. |
| RSI from Close 10 Day | Relative Strength Index indicates the degree of positive and negative movements by the stock on a scale of 0 (weakest) to 100 (strongest). Determined by figuring the ratio of the average up closes for the last 10 days (not including today if prior to close) divided by the sum of the average up closes and the average down closes for the same period. This ratio is multiplied by 100. |
| RSI 30 Day | Relative Strength Index indicates the degree of positive and negative movements by the stock on a scale of 0 (weakest) to 100 (strongest).

This ratio is multiplied by 100. |
| DM (DI+) Positive 14 Day | The basic Directional Movement trading system involves comparing the 14-day +DX ("Directional Indicator") and the 14-day -DX. This can be done by plotting the two indicators on top of each other or by subtracting the +DX from the -DX. The study indicates buying when the +DX rises above the -DX and selling when the +DX falls below the -DX. |
| DM (DI-) Negative 14 Day | The basic Directional Movement trading system involves comparing the 14-day +DX ("Directional Indicator") and the 14-day -DX. This can be done by plotting the two indicators on top of each other or by subtracting the +DX from the -DX. The study indicates buying when the +DX rises above the -DX and selling when the +DX falls below the -DX. |
| DM (DX) 14 Day | The Directional Movement study indicates the strength of a trend, independent of whether that trend is up or down. The study combines several components: +DX measures upward moves, -DI measures downward moves, DX combines +DX and -DX, and ADX is a smoothed version of DX. |
| DM Average (ADX) 14 Day | Assesses the strength of the current trends in a stock's movement, as well as helping point out when a market may be changing from trending to non-trending and vice versa. ADX is calculated by taking a modified moving average of DX. |
| %K | Along with %D, is part of a stochastic indicator. Shows the price level of a stock in relation to its price range over a given period. |
| %D | Along with %K, is part of a stochastic indicator. Shows the degree of smoothing, or moving average period, of %K. |
| %D Slow | Similar in principle to %D above, except tends to show less market "noise" due to increasing the number of periods used in the calculation. |
| Bollinger Band® (Top) | The Middle line of a Bollinger Band is a simple moving average. The Top and Bottom lines are placed n-standard deviations above and below the centerline. Since standard deviations are a measure of volatility, the bands widen during volatile price action and contract when the trading range tightens. |
| Bollinger Band® (Middle) | The Middle line of a Bollinger Band is a simple moving average. The Top and Bottom lines are placed n-standard deviations above and below the centerline. Since standard deviations are a measure of volatility, the bands widen during volatile price action and contract when the trading range tightens. |
| Bollinger Band® (Bottom) | The Middle line of a Bollinger Band is a simple moving average. The Top and Bottom lines are placed n-standard deviations above and below the centerline. Since standard deviations are a measure of volatility, the bands widen during volatile price action and contract when the trading range tightens. |
| MACD | Trend-following momentum indicator that uses three exponential moving averages: a short or fast average, a long or slow average, and an exponential average of their difference, the last being used as a signal or trigger line. |
| MACD Signal | Typically used in conjunction with the MACD indicator above. |
| Momentum 20 Day | Measure the amount that a security's price has changed over the last 20 days. If today hasn't closed yet, it uses current price for today's close. |
| Momentum from Close 20 Day | Measured the amount a security's price has changed over the last 20 closes. |
| Momentum 40 Day | Measure the amount that a security's price has changed over the last 40 days. If today hasn't closed yet, it uses current price for today's close. |
| Momentum from Close 40 Day | Measured the amount a security's price has changed over the last 40 closes. |
| Momentum 60 Day | Measure the amount that a security's price has changed over the last 60 days. If today hasn't closed yet, it uses current price for today's close. |
| Momentum from Close 60 Day | Measured the amount a security's price has changed over the last 60 closes. |
| Money Flow | Money Flow keeps a running total of the money flowing into and out of a security. The direction of the Money Flow line is an important component to watch, not the actual dollar amount. This unit can be used to confirm underlying strength or weakness of a price trend. |
| Money Flow Percent | Money Flow Percent is also called Chaikin Money Flow. It normalizes the Money Flow calculation above by dividing the cumulative volume for the period. |
| Williams %R | Measures the percentage to which a stock is overbought or oversold based on the position of the current period's close to the range of prices over a period of time. |
