Market data & research methodology
TradeClever helps you screen stocks, inspect daily charts, compare market groups, and organize research. The notes below explain how to interpret a result and its session date.
Securities and dates
The workspace includes stocks and ETFs. An ETF is identified as ETF in the Sector column.
Read the session date displayed beside the results. A screenshot on this website is an example of the interface, not a current market quote. Stock charts show the stored daily open, high, low, close, and volume observations.
Daily charts and research alerts
Charts use daily price history. The alert workflow evaluates published intraday observations when its monitoring service and required feed are available. A saved alert does not by itself establish that monitoring is ready. Check the alert center before relying on a notification.
The site does not describe these workspaces as a real-time execution feed. The Earnings Calendar is coming soon.
What does a historical scan reconstruct?
Choose Scan as of to evaluate a query against stored history through an earlier session. Weekends and holidays resolve to a preceding available trading session. Inspect the actual session shown in the results.
Prices and history-backed indicators use observations through the selected session. Company details use current metadata where indicated. Current company classifications or universe membership cannot establish which companies belonged to a group at an earlier date. A dated screen should not be treated as a complete reconstruction of the historical investable universe.
Backtest Scan selects stocks once, with the start date's completed session for Close or the preceding session for Open, and values each one from its entry price to the end date's close on split-adjusted prices. Scan Return is the equal-weight average of every selected stock's return. Results are not brokerage executions or a guarantee of future results. Read the historical scan guide before comparing dates.
Indicators and ranks
Indicators use the trading sessions in their lookback period. All Time High refers to the stored price series.
TCM (Trade Clever Meter) is TradeClever’s relative-strength rank: the percentile of 3-month price performance within the eligible universe, 1–100, 100 = strongest, computed daily from stored history. The CleverScan reference explains supported functions and operators.
Corporate actions such as splits and dividends can affect comparisons across dates. Check the daily history behind a result before comparing sessions that are far apart; the displayed series is not guaranteed to be adjusted for every event.
How are scan rules created and checked?
You build a scan with manual filters, start from a template, or write a CleverScan expression yourself. TradeClever does not generate scan rules from written descriptions. The application checks every expression against its supported parser and validation rules before it runs, and you can inspect the conditions, change them, and run the scan yourself.
A valid expression can still differ from your intended question. Review its fields, thresholds, grouping, and selected date. A scan describes which securities meet its conditions; it does not predict returns, certify an investment, or place a brokerage order. The CleverScan reference lists the supported syntax.
A reproducible research check
- Write down the question and save the exact scan expression.
- Record the selected date, actual session, and current metadata notes.
- Inspect a matching symbol’s chart and the fields used by the rule.
- Keep the scan logic with your observations when you share research.
