VWAP and the session figures are computed from the delayed intraday series on this page, so they lag the live tape and will not match a broker's real-time VWAP exactly. Turn on Prior day H/L/C, Opening range and Volume profile in the chart's Studies menu to see these levels drawn on price.

Price return only. Dividends are not reinvested, so total return on a dividend payer will be higher than shown.
Max pain is the strike at which the largest dollar value of open contracts expires worthless. It describes current positioning; it is not a forecast and it moves as open interest changes.

What this is, and what it is not
Each indicator is scored from -1 to +1 and multiplied by a fixed weight. The gauge is the weighted average of the inputs that have data, so a symbol without analyst coverage or insider filings is scored on what exists rather than marked down for what is missing. That is why an ETF and a large-cap equity can both produce a reading.
The weights were chosen by us. They are not fitted to historical returns, not backtested, and carry no claim of predictive power. Two reasonable people would pick different weights and get a different number.
This is a summary of mechanical indicators, not a recommendation. It reads price history and published figures. It knows nothing about the business, the filings, the sector, litigation, an earnings date next week, or anything you know. Momentum indicators describe what has already happened. USA Equity Research LLC is not a registered investment adviser, and nothing here is advice.
