Data Desk FAQs
What is the ETF Data Desk?
A weekly dashboard of original ETF research from ETF Adviser: how many Australian ETFs are in an uptrend, base or downtrend, the same measure for each asset class, and where money is flowing in Australia and the US.
How is “in an uptrend” measured?
Each ETF is placed in a stage using its price and its 10, 20, 50 and 200-day exponential moving averages. Uptrend means the price is above its 20-day average and the 10, 20, 50 and 200-day exponential averages are stacked in order, or it’s at a new all-time high. Downtrend is the reverse. A new stage must hold for five trading days before it counts.
How often is it updated?
Every week. The public version runs one week behind; members get the live data each Sunday.
Is this a buy or sell signal?
No. These measures describe what prices and flows have done, not what they will do. They are general information to help you understand market conditions, not a recommendation.
