The thinking behind it
Markets trend. Prices that have been rising tend to keep rising for longer than intuition suggests, and prices that have broken down tend to stay weak. ByteTrend doesn't forecast where a price is going – it measures, systematically and without opinion, whether a trend exists right now and how strong it is.
Because every asset is scored by the same fixed rules every day, scores are comparable across markets, sectors and asset classes. A 5 means the same thing for a US mega-cap, a copper future or bitcoin: all five trend conditions are met. That consistency is the point – it lets you scan the whole market for leadership and deterioration without reading a single headline.
How the score works
Five rules, each worth a point, on two timescales (Weekly and Daily) and two price series (Local, and CAPR against the MSCI World index): four scores per asset, with a trend regime on top. The site opens on Weekly CAPR, and the switches at the top of each page change it. The ByteTrend Score on the documentation site defines every rule, window and regime.

Plans
Signed out, scores show for the largest stocks, ETFs and digital assets by market cap; signing up, free, widens that. Futures and FX are scored for everyone. Screens opens every score on the site, the dashboards and the full Macro and Trends pages. Analyst (API + MCP) adds the REST API and the MCP server (API & MCP). Prices are on the home page, and Plans on the documentation site sets out what each one shows.
Data and timing
ByteTrend runs once a day, early in the morning (around 04:00 UTC), on the previous session's close, and the site rebuilds straight after. Each data page says which close it shows. Stocks and FX are scored on trading days; digital assets trade around the clock, so they are scored every calendar day.
Next steps
The full documentation – including ByteTrend 101, a seven-part series that takes you from never having seen a score to running your own screen – lives on docs.bytetrend.io.
