Polygon.io Market Data

Trend Classification Engine

Scan US stocks by price, market cap, and timeframe. The engine applies technical rules to classify available data as Uptrend, Downtrend, or Ranging; labels are observations, not recommendations or probabilities.

Daily sample: 5 rows from a stored scan

A fixed basket of 25 large U.S. stocks is classified once a day after the market closes, with the same rules the full scanner uses. This page only shows the stored result; visiting it never starts a scan.

Sample unavailable. The live sample is switched off while we confirm our market-data provider's permission to show it publicly. No sample is being shown.

What paid plans add

The daily sample applies the same classifier to a fixed basket, on one timeframe, and shows five rows. The table lists what the Pro and Research Pro plans include for the full scanner.

Sample fields and how to read them

The rows in the example table above are illustrative examples only. Their prices, market capitalizations, indicators, and signals are fictional and are not current market data. The live daily sample, when it is shown, is the separate table at the top of this page.

Ticker / Trend
Example stock symbol and rule-based Uptrend, Downtrend, or Ranging classification.
Rule Fit
0–100 measure of how closely the available observations fit the displayed classification; it is not a probability or forecast.
Price / Mkt Cap / Sector
Illustrative price and company-size values, plus the example industry grouping.
ADX
Average Directional Index, a measure of trend strength; it does not indicate direction by itself.
Signals
Short labels for the example rule observations, such as moving-average alignment, ADX strength, or price structure.

Illustrative worked example: NVDA sample row

The linked example row displays ▲ Uptrend, 94% Rule Fit, $487.21 price, 34.2 ADX, and “EMA aligned · ADX strong · HH+HL structure.” Read this as an illustrative row where the classification, rule-fit measure, ADX reading, and listed signals appear together—not as a current NVDA quote or a prediction. Rule Fit is not the chance the trend will continue.

What is the Trend Classification Engine?

The Trend Classification Engine scans available Polygon.io price data. Each stock is evaluated across five timeframes using EMA alignment, ADX, directional indicators, EMA slope, and pivot structure. Each ticker receives a rule-based classification — Uptrend, Downtrend, or Ranging — with a 0–100 rule-fit measure. This measure is not a probability of future performance.

Use it to quickly build watchlists of trending stocks, find momentum setups, or filter out choppy ranging names before entering a trade.
