Relative Strength 1 Year

Overview​

The Relative Strength 1 Year profile colors the market by each stock's 1-year Relative Strength rating, a 1-to-99 rank of price performance against every other tracked symbol, with recent movement weighted more heavily. Grouped by sector and industry and sized by market cap, it paints the market's long-term leadership structure on one screen.

Where a return map shows raw performance, an RS map shows rank: a 99 means the stock is outperforming 99% of the market over the past year. Leadership clusters jump out immediately, and so do the industries the market has left behind.

info

The 1-year Relative Strength rating weights recent price movement more heavily, so an improving stock climbs the rating before its raw one-year return catches up. The map updates in real time.
