Alpha Performance of Period

10 Tem 2020

Alpha Performance of Period (PoP) produces a visualization of returns (gains and losses) over a quarterly, monthly, or annual period. It also displays the total % gain and loss over any length of days, months, and years as defined by the user.

Performance of Period (PoP) can be used to understand the performance of an asset over multiple periods using a single chart layout, and to compare the performance of different assets by using a multi-chart layout.

This can, for example, be used to compare the NASDAQ, S&P, and DJI over the past 20 years to create a dow vs. nasdaq vs. s&p performance chart. This can help you understand a comparison of historical returns by showing which performs the best month-over-month, quarter-to-quarter, year-to-year, throughout any custom period of days/months/years.

The ability to get a visualization of the % gain/loss can help to better understand how markets have performed over time and which markets have historically performed the best.

Check out the up and coming Educational Idea we will be releasing soon after this is live to see an example of how we use this tool.

Total period Performance: The total % performance, the difference between the total gain and total loss.

NOTE[/I]: The "Current Period" performance is excluded from ALL five of the above-mentioned figures. This was done to avoid giving inaccurate comparison figures due to the period not being finished yet.





Inputs[/I]
-----
Current Script Version + Info: A drop-down list of instructions for the user to refer to.

Dark Mode Labels: Toggle on for Dark Mode. This is done since Labels text and background color can not be adjusted separately within the visual inputs so this is the best fit solution.
