Efficiency Rating​

Found in My Portfolio.

  • Calculation: The number of "meaningful" positions you have relative to your total number of positions, expressed as a percent.
  • Goal: A score of 100 isn't necessarily required (concentration is valid), but it helps you track position sizing and avoid "strays" that don't meaningfully impact your portfolio.

Buy / Sell Ratings​

We use moving averages to determine the current stance on a stock:

  • Short Term: Based on the last close relative to the 5 and 20-day Moving Averages.
  • Long Term: Based on the 50 and 200-day Moving Averages.

Verdicts:

  • BUY: Price is above both Short and Long term indicators.
  • CASH: Price is between the indicators.
  • SELL: Price is below both indicators.
