My 3 favorite long-term metrics on the app are:

1. Growth Rating- How likely a company is to grow in revenue and/or size in the next 1-2 years

2. Profitability Rating- How likely a company is to be profitable in the next few years

3. Upside Breakout - Higher scores indicate a larger chance of a sharp move upwards in price, any time within the next 1-2 years

My 3 favorite short-term metrics on the app are:

1. Net Institutional Flow- Tracks if institutions are buying up or selling off a stock, or options

2. Net Options Sentiment- Provides information on how long or short the market is on short duration options

3. Net Social Sentiment- Gauges positive & negative sentiment from social media, as well as the difference between them

- Dark Pools are exchanges that institutions use to make trades without immediately moving the markets

- Net Institutional Flow is tracked using 13F & 13G SEC filings

-Profitability is based on current financials & estimates

- Growth is based on forecasted financials
