The best performing versus worst performing stocks is a composite I have created while trying to find whether the number of stocks with very high increase is higher or not that the number of stocks with very high decrease.
This market indicator calculates the number of stocks whose daily return was higher than 5% and subtracts this number by the number of stocks whose daily return was lower than -5% (minus).
A value of 4 indicates that there are four more stocks that increased more than 5% than stocks that decreased more than -5%.
Note that only stocks that belong to the S&P 500 index are used by this "Best performing vs. worst performing" composite.
You can update the composite and choose which stocks to use in the calculation. You can also update the "5" threshold by changing the composite formula.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
