How can users better analyze their stock-picking performance on stockezy?
Stockezy rates the performance of every stock-pickers who shares stock-picks. Members can find their performance statistics listed on their Picks-Dashboard or ‘My Picks’ page - simply go to Stockezy -> Picks -> My Picks or directly access the URL at http://www.stockezy.com/picks/[your-username]
Stockezy has a proprietary algorithm which tracks each stock-pick every 2 minutes. As the value of the stock changes stockezy evaluates each the pick showing risk-reward ratio, accuracy and current pick-return. Based on the performance of the stock-picks members receive individual ratings and rank.
In short the rating indicates how often a Stock Picker makes correct recommendations and the ranking system helps members build their stock-picking reputation.
To better explain each attribute let us take the example of Picks dashboard of user Sheela Shenoy - http://www.stockezy.com/picks/sheels2007/
The following statistics are computed:
Member Rank: This attribute shows the relative performance of Sheela in comparison with all the Stock-Pickers on Stockezy. The detailed list of all the members can be found at http://www.stockezy.com/members/
Total Picks: This is the count of all the picks that have been recommended by the user.
Closed Picks: This is the count of all the historical recommendations. Closed picks are no longer active recommendations.
Average Accuracy: It is the average of the individual accuracy of all the stock-picks recommended by the user. All picks which hit the target have accuracy of 100% and picks which hit the stop loss have accuracy of 0.
For example: If you enter a Day-Trade pick at Start Price 10, Target 15. So the Expected Target Return is 50%. Now if the pick closes w/o hitting target at Rs. 12. In this case the pick actual return is only 20%. So the accuracy is 40% .
Average Holding Days: It is the average time taken by the Stock-Picks to Close. It suggests the length of time the stock-picks by the user remain active and hence give insights in to stock-pickers style of investing. Looking at the average holding days, one can easily gauge the investing time-horizon and know whether the stock-picker is a Short Term, Medium Term or Long Term investor.
Target Hit Rate: It is the percentage of all stock-picks which have the Hit the Target Price suggested by the stock-picker.
Success Rate: This attribute measures how often the stock-picker provides correct recommendations. For e.g. If a member has 10 Closed Picks, out of which 5 have hit the target, 3 closed with positive return, and 2 closed in Stop Loss, the Target Hit Rate is 50%, however the Success Rate is: 80%
To summarize the rating system:
To learn more about your rank and get individual performance statistics visit your ‘My Picks’ dashboard - Log In to Stockezy and go to http://www.stockezy.com/picks/ and click on “My Picks” Tab or directly go to http://www.stockezy.com/picks/[your-username]
Please note ranking and rating is only available for members who Rate Stocks by adding Stock Picks. To add a Stock Pick go to http://www.stockezy.com/share/pick/
