This is just a small announcement about a couple of incremental feature improvements on the website relating to the StockRanks. We are planning on rolling out a complete feature area based upon the StockRanks within a month or so, which will include the live tracked results of StockRank performance over the UK, Europe and the USA since launch as well as a page to show the latest changes.

It illustrates neatly how Value and Momentum can move in opposite directions at the same time without impacting the overall StockRank.

The intersection between Fundamental and Technical Analysis is where some of the best stocks lie and somewhere we need to explore in much more detail for active traders.

The ChartSignals tab (Toolbox > ChartSignals) is a useful site area for those looking for ideas - it shows stocks breaking up…
