How the Change (1 year, $) filter works
The "change in 1 year ($)" filter compares the current price to the price 1 year ago, measured in dollars. Traders and investors may use this filter to identify stocks that have experienced significant price movements over the past year, which could indicate potential trends or opportunities for further analysis. It can also help them understand the volatility and overall performance of a stock within a specific timeframe.
The formula for the $ version is simply the current price minus the old price. Bigger numbers mean that the price has moved up more. Negative numbers mean that the price has moved down. 0 means no change.
The current price is based on the last print. There is no smoothing or averaging. This updates before, during, and after market hours.

Using the Change (1 year, $) Filter
Several trading strategies can be employed with the Change (1 year, $) filter. Here are a few examples:
- Momentum Trading: Traders can use the change in 1 year ($) filter to identify stocks that have exhibited strong upward momentum over the past year. They may look for stocks with significant positive changes in dollar terms, indicating that the stock has been consistently rising. Once identified, traders may consider entering long positions in these stocks, expecting the momentum to continue.
- Contrarian Trading: Conversely, traders can use the filter to identify stocks that have experienced significant negative changes in dollar terms over the past year. These stocks may have fallen out of favor with investors but could potentially be undervalued. Contrarian traders may consider entering long positions in these stocks, betting on a potential reversal or turnaround in their fortunes.
- Volatility Trading: High changes in 1 year ($) can indicate volatility in a stock's price movement. Traders who specialize in volatility trading may seek out stocks with significant changes in dollar terms as opportunities for short-term trading. They may employ strategies such as buying straddles or strangles to profit from short-term price fluctuations.
