Common terms
Charts (Advanced Charts, Visualizer) — An advanced chart is a detailed graphical representation of a stock's price movement over time. It includes various technical analysis tools, such as trendsAI Indicator, moving averages, volume indicator, and breakout indicator.
Bullish — Positive outlook on a stock, market, or asset. The signals with marks Bullish and HOLD are stored here.
Bearish — The opposite of bullish. It refers to a negative outlook on a stock, market, or asset. The signals with marks Bearish, HOLD, and neutral appear here.
Neutral — Market outlook where an investor or analyst expects prices to remain stable or move sideways, with no significant upward or downward trend.
Hold — Recommendation or strategy where an investor retains their current position in a stock without buying more or selling. If you already bought it, it suggests keeping it, but not BUYing more.
Buy and Hold — Long-term investment strategy in which an investor buys stocks and holds them for an extended period. We compare the trendsAI performance to this strategy's returns to showcase our advantage over the overall market.
