Lord of TA is a technical-analysis research terminal. It doesn't tell you what to trade — it reports empirical hit rates of classic technical signals, per stock, and shows you which ones are firing right now. TA here tells you which classic rule printed and the historical follow-through. It is not trade advice. Every statistic on the site comes from the same engine: run a library of signal rules over two years of daily bars, record every time each rule fired, and measure what the stock did 5 days, 1 month and 3 months later. Server-rendered copies (no JavaScript): today's firing scan, the signal catalog, daily breadth, tracked names, hit rates on SPY, methodology.
Type any US symbol in the search box. Toggle overlays (moving averages, Bollinger bands, Ichimoku, pivots, volume profile, …) and panes (RSI, MACD, stochastics, volume studies, …) from the compact Overlays (n) and Panes (m) menus above the chart. Clicking a rule anywhere else on the site opens the chart with that rule's historical LONG/SHORT markers and an equity curve overlaid, so you can see exactly when it fired and what followed.
Intervals & horizons: the header toggles switch bar interval (15m / 1H / D / W) and horizon (1D → MAX, varying by interval). Short horizons like 1M/3M still load a longer history underneath so indicators have warm-up data — zoom out to see it.
Zoom & pan: scroll (or pinch on touch screens) to zoom, drag to pan, double-click or the ⤢ button to reset. The +/− buttons in the chart corner do the same. Signal-rule markers are daily constructs — picking a rule from an intraday chart switches back to daily bars.
Backtest sizing: with a rule selected, the Backtest control in the chart toolbar sets a starting $ capital or starting share count (shares are valued at the first visible bar's close). The strategy-equity subplot then plots portfolio value in dollars vs buy & hold, and the hover readout shows the running backtest value.
Volume profile: the volume_profile overlay is a left-aligned histogram of volume at each price bin over the loaded bars. The highest-volume bin is the point of control (POC); the value area is the contiguous bins around POC that hold 70% of that window's volume.
The right-hand panel backtests 24 signal rules (RSI crosses, MACD crosses, moving-average crosses, Bollinger touches, stochastic crosses, and friends) on the current symbol and ranks them. Short-side rules are measured as shorts, so a positive return is a profitable short (side-adjusted). A persistent line under the symbol repeats that these are historical hit rates, not a prediction and not trade advice.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| # | Sample size — how many firings had a measurable 1-month forward return. Small n (under 10) mutes the row: treat those stats as a thin sample, not evidence. |
| Win 1m | Of those firings, the percentage that were profitable in the signal's direction one month later. |
| Avg 1m / 3m | The average return in the signal's direction over that horizon, across all of its firings. |
| Score | A composite study score: 0.6 × average return + 0.4 × (win rate − 50), blended across horizons with longer horizons weighted more. Higher = stronger historical hit-rate composite on this ticker. |
Scans a whole universe for every signal that fired in the last 5 bars and joins each one with that rule's historical record on that specific ticker. "One per name" shows one row per ticker (its highest-scoring fresh study); "All signals" shows everything. Rows are ranked by Score — the same study-score formula as the rank panel — so the top of the list is "fresh signal + stronger history." MIXED means the name also fired a signal in the opposite direction (opposite-side note). Hover any column header for its definition. Click a row to open the chart with that rule overlaid. A crawlable HTML table of the same scan lives at /firing. Named theme cuts — RSI oversold, golden cross, MACD bullish, and the rest of the allow-list — are at /firing/rsi-oversold, /firing/golden-cross, /firing/macd-bullish, and the other presets listed on that index.
Runs one indicator across a built-in universe (mega caps, Mag 7, growth, …) or a custom ticker list, and sorts by the result — e.g. "show me RSI across all mega caps."
P.S. — it's called Lord of TA for a reason. Royalty is hiding in the symbol box. 👑
