Q: Why does ETFtable.com run so slowly in my browser?
A: ETFtable.com does a lot of work in your browser with Javascript to create all the
data you see for each ETF. Some browsers such as Internet Explorer have a slower
performing Javascript engine. We recommend using the latest version of Firefox or
Google Chrome.
Q: I have a suggestion to make ETFtable.com even better - how can I communicate
that to the creators of ETFtable.com?
A: To let us know your suggestions or any feedback, please send an email to Etft[at]ETFtable.com
Q: What is the advantage of calculating the percentage amount of a Exponential
Moving Average crossover?
A: By calculating the percentage instead of just a yes/no that the fast EMA is over the slow EMA, you can rank and sort by the crossover pair and as a result you can compare ETFs more effectively.
In the chart below, EMA 30 is 47.46 on Sept 10, while the EMA 15 is 50.56. The percent we show is the result of dividing 50.56 (EMA 15) by 47.46 (EMA 30) less 1 or 6.5%. On Aug 24, by contrast, the corresponding difference would be close to zero. As AGQ trends upward, the value of EMA15/EMA30 increases. Conversely, when it peaks and trends downward, the number would decease to zero and then turn negative.
Q: What is the meaning of all the colors in the cells of the table?
A: Each value for Percent Performance and EMA Crossover Percentage indicators has a rank which
represents how each ETF compares to all the others in the list for that particular indicator. We
make it easy to quickly see how an ETF ranks on different timelines for performance and trend by
color coding each rank value. Also, if the value itself is Green or Red, that means that the value
crossed above or below zero in the past day (meaning a Crossover, New High or New Low just happened).
Q: Can I use ETFtable.com to monitor my portfolio of ETFs?
A: Yes, you can create a space or comma delimited list of the ETF ticker symbols in your portfolio. Then add a new filter with
the following parameters: Column=Item.Ticker , Operator="is in list" , Filter Value={your list of ETF tickers}. Then click apply.
Now the results will only be from your ETF portfolio and narrowed down by any additional filters specified. ETFtable's screener
saves your filter and sort preferences between visits to the site, so next time you visit it will use your custom screen for your
ETF portfolio (unless you have cleared your browser cookies).
