How this brief is made
- It is built by StratLab's own jobs after the US close, from the exchange's daily closing figures. A change on the day is measured from the previous session's close. Sector rotation uses weekly candles. Nothing here comes from any user's account, and nothing in it is a view on what prices will do.
