What it shows

How it is computed

Each night the pipeline measures every stock's trailing price return (weighting recent performance more heavily) and then percentile ranks the whole universe, mapping the field onto a 1-99 scale. It is a relative measure by design: a rising RS rating means the stock is outperforming its peers, not just going up. Read the concept in full in what is RS rating.

RS rating is not RSI. RS rating compares a stock to the whole market (leadership). RSI is a 0-100 oscillator from a single stock's own gains and losses (overbought/oversold). Easy to mix up, very different.

How to use it

Leaders lead. Use a high RS rating as a first filter, then look for a sound base or a fresh breakout within those names rather than buying strength blindly. A stock making higher highs in price while its RS rating climbs is the classic leadership tell; falling RS on a rising price is a warning the move is lagging the market.
