Overview
The Metrics Library is a reference for every metric available in Edge to Trade. Each metric page shows where it is available — Scan, History, or Ticker Stats — and lists its variants.
Metric variants
Many metrics have expandable variants below the base entry. The base metric always represents the target day and carries no prefix — just "Volume" or "High". Some metrics have no variants at all:
Metric:
Market CapTotal market value of the company's equityVariants fall into four types:
Day offsets
- Prior days: D[-1] through D[-5] — the 5 trading days before the target day
- Following days: D[2] through D[6] — the 5 trading days after the target day
Scanner only includes prior-day offsets. History and Ticker Stats include both.
