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 percentage. 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 (new value – old value) / old value * 100.
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:
- Volatility Trading: Stocks with high changes in 1 year (%) may indicate high volatility in price movements. Traders specializing in volatility trading may look for opportunities to profit from short-term price fluctuations. They may employ strategies such as options trading or volatility ETFs to capitalize on the volatility.
- Trend Following: Traders can use the change in 1 year (%) filter as part of a trend-following strategy. Stocks with consistent positive percentage changes over the past year may indicate strong uptrends, while those with consistent negative percentage changes may indicate downtrends. Traders may consider entering long positions in stocks with upward trends and short positions in stocks with downward trends.
- Pairs Trading: Traders may use the change in 1 year (%) filter to identify pairs of stocks with divergent price movements over the past year but are otherwise similar in fundamentals or industry. They may then enter pairs trades, simultaneously buying the relatively stronger stock and selling short the relatively weaker stock, aiming to profit from the convergence of their prices.
