How to Use Relative Strength Performance

This page explains how to read and interpret the Relative Strength Performance table. Relative strength analysis helps compare how a stock is performing relative to its own history and relative to other stocks. Each row represents one stock for one trading day.


Understanding Each Column

TICKER

The stock symbol used on the exchange. Each ticker represents one listed company.

Date

The trading date for which relative strength metrics are calculated.

Close

The closing price of the stock for the trading session.

  • Acts as the reference price for return calculations
  • Used to compare current price with historical levels

1W_Return_% (One-Week Return)

Shows the percentage price change over the last one week.

  • Positive value indicates short-term strength
  • Negative value indicates short-term weakness
  • Useful for identifying recent momentum

1M_Return_% (One-Month Return)

Shows the percentage price change over the last one month.

  • Helps assess medium-term performance
  • Consistent positive returns indicate sustained strength

Position_vs_52W_High_%

Indicates how far the current price is from its 52-week high.

  • Value close to 0% means the stock is near its 52-week high
  • Large negative value means the stock is trading far below its yearly peak
  • Helps identify leaders versus laggards

Position_vs_52W_Low_%

Indicates how far the current price is from its 52-week low.

  • Higher value means the stock has moved significantly away from its yearly low
  • Very low values indicate proximity to long-term weakness
  • Useful for spotting recovery or turnaround candidates

Relative_Strength_Rank

Ranks the stock’s performance relative to other stocks in the same universe.

  • Higher rank indicates stronger relative performance
  • Lower rank indicates underperformance
  • Used to prioritize stronger stocks within a group

How to Read Relative Strength Metrics Together

Relative strength is most effective when multiple metrics align.

  • Positive 1W and 1M returns indicate consistent performance
  • Price closer to 52-week high suggests leadership
  • High Relative Strength Rank confirms outperformance versus peers
  • Stocks far from 52-week low show resilience

Important Notes

  • Relative strength compares performance, not valuation
  • Strong relative stocks may still correct in weak markets
  • Weak relative stocks may outperform during reversals
  • Always combine relative strength with trend and risk analysis
