Quick answers about what this site does, how the numbers are calculated, and what it is (and isn’t).
Chartlists is a fast, curated chart discovery platform built to help you find high-quality “worth-your-time” chart candidates across major global markets — without drowning in noise. It combines clean price/volume charts, smart grouping, and practical ranking signals so you can scan, compare, and shortlist ideas in minutes.
In short: Chartlists is built for speed, clarity, and quality — fewer tickers, better candidates, faster decisions.
No. This site is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
The goal is simple: help traders and investors scan hundreds of charts quickly and shortlist candidates for deeper review.
We intentionally avoid complexity (too many indicators, too many layouts, too many fundamentals). If you want deeper technicals/fundamentals, alerts, or execution, use platforms like TradingView, Finviz, TC2000 or Interactive Brokers.
We show a curated set of 150 market indicators — ETFs, futures, and spot prices across major asset classes: equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
All lists aim to focus on liquidity and “worth-your-time” chart candidates across market-cap segments.
Stocks are grouped into 50 logical sector/industry combinations for each market and have been validated to a large extent. While we understand there are close to 200 industry groups, we wanted groups to be not too small or too big, hence we use 50 as a practical number of groups. Please report if any stock is part of incorrect group.
Different layouts help you scan faster using combinations of interval, date range, and chart types.
PF or RS (Relative Strength) is a percentile-style score (0–100) that measures how strong a symbol has been relative to its peer universe, based on percentage performance over multiple time windows (for example: 12M, 6M, 3M, 1M). We then convert that relative ranking into a 0–100 score where higher is stronger.
Key point: Because PF or RS is built on percentage returns, it is generally agnostic to price level and works fine even if symbols trade in different currencies (INR, JPY, EUR, USD, etc.).
However: since we compare a non-USD market (e.g., India/Japan/Europe index) directly against a USD benchmark without FX conversion, large currency moves can influence the result. In that case, RS reflects local-market strength more than “USD investor” returns.
Performance grading uses two components in this order
An AA PF stock is a strong performer over the last year and is also improving versus peers recently. An FF stock is a major underperformer versus peers in its market group.
SE rating is based on two rating- sales rating is shown as the first letter while earnings earnings rating is shown as the second letter :
An AA rated stock has very strong sales/revenue and earnings performnce. An FF rated stock has very poor sales/revenue and earnings performnce.
MarketCap segments are based on the market capitalization ranking in the respective market group at the time of data extraction.
Stocks not in above groups are not part of our analysis.
Area charts like hourly charts have been smoothed with EMA3 (HLC3) to reduce noise.
Just because it will make things more complicated than they need to be. This site is for quick screening of hundreds if not thousands of charts. We have kept noise out. Frankly, there are better tools for level 2 screening, if required.
We have applied rigor in screening stocks or market indicators that are provided in the watchlists. The screening includes liquidity, performance and earnings superiority. We intentionally dont want to show all the stocks available in the market- its done to remove the noise and still provide close to 1800 stocks every week for review from around the world. Watchlists will be reviewed every week and so you may see some new stocks on every week refresh.
You may benefit from search functionality we have. If a stock is already in one of the watchlists- you will see a chart panel. If its not we will direct you to another source.
India, Brazil etc are emerging markets with significant growth seen for many years and yet the liquidity is low in most of the stocks. Applying the same liquidity criteria to India market as for US or ROW would have suppressed majority of Indian stocks and so on for other emerging markets.
