Overview
The Metrics Library is a complete reference for every metric available across Edge to Trade. These metrics power the filters used in the Scanner and History pages, giving you precise control over how you find and analyze stocks.
How metrics work
Every metric in Edge to Trade is tied to a day offset relative to an active day, referred to as Day[1].
| Notation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Day[-5] through Day[-1] | The 5 trading days before the active day |
| Day[1] | The active day — the primary day being evaluated |
| Day[2] through Day[6] | The 5 trading days after the active day |
This day-offset system lets you build filters that compare metrics across multiple days. For example, you can check whether a stock's Day[1] High exceeded its Day[-1] High, or whether volume increased over consecutive sessions.
Comparing metrics
Metrics can be compared in two ways:
- Against a fixed value — e.g. Day[1] Gap % > 30
- Against another metric — e.g. Day[1] High > Day[1] Premarket High
Cross-day comparisons work the same way. You can compare any metric from Day[-5] through Day[6] against any other, giving you full flexibility to define multi-day patterns.
Metric categories
Metrics are organized into the following groups:
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Market Data | Price, volume, gap, range, VWAP, moving averages, RVOL, brackets, and more |
| Company | Sector, industry, and company-level identifiers |
| Share Structure | Float, shares outstanding, and share-related data |
| Halts | Trading halt events and related details |
| Financials | Revenue, earnings, and fundamental data points |
| Dilution | Offering and dilution-related metrics |
| News | News catalyst filters |
Use the sidebar to browse each category, or type in the Filter Metrics search box to quickly find a specific metric by name.
Example: a simple History scan
Here is a basic scan using the History page to find low-float gappers over the last 90 days:
| Filter | Value |
|---|---|
| Date | Last 90 Days |
| Day[1] Open Price | Between $2 – $15 |
| Day[1] Gap % | Greater than 20% |
| Day[1] Volume | Greater than 2,000,000 |
| Share Type | Equals Common Stock |
Each metric referenced above has its own page in this library with a full definition, formula (where applicable), and the day offsets available for scanning.
