Methodology and Data Sources
Every number on Hyper Stocks Terminal comes from somewhere, and every screen applies rules that can be written down. This page explains where the data originates, how often each part of the platform refreshes, how the scanners and ratings are calculated, and how the historical performance record is measured. If a figure on the site is modeled rather than observed, it is labeled as such on the page where it appears.
Data sources
Prices, fundamentals, estimates and corporate events come from licensed institutional market-data providers covering U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs. Economic release data comes from the official publishing agencies and is timestamped in U.S. Eastern Time. Written research is produced by the Hyper Stocks research team using that same data.
Hyper Stocks Terminal does not resell raw market data feeds, does not execute orders, and is not a broker or an investment adviser.
How often each surface refreshes
| Surface | Refresh cadence |
|---|---|
| Quotes and price data | Through the trading day, on each page load |
| Premarket movers | Repeatedly through the premarket session, up to the opening bell |
| Scanners | Scheduled runs through the session, one shared data pass per run |
| Earnings calendar | Daily, with intraday updates as timings are confirmed |
| Economic calendar | Daily, with actuals written in as releases land |
| Heat map and breadth | Through the session |
| Written research | Published individually, each article carries its own date |
| Performance record | Updated as setups close |
Pages that depend on a scheduled job show the timestamp of the run that produced what you are looking at, so a stale view is visible rather than silent.
How the scanners work
The scanners run over one shared pass of the covered universe, so every screen sees the same snapshot of the same data. Each screen applies published rules on liquidity, trend, relative strength, quality and valuation, and a stock either meets those rules or it does not. There is no discretionary override, and there is no ordering by conviction.
A stock appearing on a screen means it currently satisfies that screen's conditions. It is a research starting point, not a recommendation to buy or sell. See the scanners.
Ratings and technical calculations
Trend, momentum and relative-strength readings are calculated from adjusted daily closes using standard definitions: simple and exponential moving averages over their stated lookbacks, relative strength measured against a broad market benchmark over the same window, and distance-from-high measured against the trailing 52-week high. Valuation and growth figures use the provider's reported and estimated financials, restated when the provider restates them.
Where a required input is missing for a thinly covered name, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
How the performance record is measured
The public performance record contains completed setups only. A setup enters the record when it closes, at its recorded exit, and open positions are excluded so that nothing in the record depends on an unrealized mark. Win rate, average gain and net profit and loss are calculated from those closed records.
The simulator on the performance page is explicitly hypothetical: it applies historical setups to a starting balance you choose and models capital constraints, and it does not represent an actual account. Full performance methodology and the performance record itself.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Corrections and limitations
Providers revise data. When a revision changes something already published, the page reflects the revised figure and its timestamp moves. Historical research articles are not silently rewritten. Coverage is limited to U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and some fields are unavailable for smaller names.
More detail is on the about page and the market data disclaimer.
