52W Highs/Lows (Reg)

Overview​

The 52W Highs/Lows (Reg) profile tracks new yearly extremes live through the regular session. Only stocks setting a new 52-week high or low appear on the map, split into the two camps, with every box the same size and colored by the change from the previous close.

The high/low count is one of the oldest and most reliable breadth measures there is. Healthy uptrends produce a steady stream of new highs; when new lows start to expand while the index still looks fine, trouble is usually brewing underneath. This map turns that statistic into something you can watch, zoom into, and trade from.

info

Detection triggers in real time, the moment today's high or low exceeds the previous 52-week extreme. This profile is one of the default favorites for new accounts, so it is pinned in the main navigation from day one.

Metrics Behind the Map​

  • New 52 Weeks High/Low: Detects when today's high or low exceeds the highest or lowest price of the previous 52 weeks, triggering in real time once the new extreme is set intraday.
  • Same Size Boxes: Every ticker gets an identical box, so camp size equals name count, the right weighting for a breadth signal.
  • Change From Close (%): The percent change between the last traded price and the previous day's close, showing which fresh extremes are backed by strong daily moves.
