Asset Risk Exposure
Global Risk Factors
Annualised on trading-day offsets — the 1-week forward return is 5 trading days so ×50.4, the 1-month is 20 so ×12.6, volatility by the square root of the same. Sharpe is return ÷ volatility. No t-statistic: daily sampling overlaps these windows, so the observation count overstates the independent evidence behind them.

Understanding the Statistical Distribution
The histogram shows the frequency of returns for the selected timeframe (1-Day, 1-Week, 1-Month, etc.). Values are expressed in % buckets after applying the corresponding scaling.
- Unfiltered = all observations within the date range.
- Filtered = observations that meet the criteria you add in the Filters panel (e.g., RSI > 60, Bubble Risk = LOW, etc.).
Annualization & Scaling
Means and standard deviations are annualized by the selected timeframe: 252 (daily), 52 (weekly), 12 (monthly), 6 (bi-monthly), 4 (quarterly). Histogram buckets display returns × 100.
Interacting with Filters
- Choose a factor (Momentum, Trend, Bubble Risk, RSI).
- Select a criterion (greater / equal / smaller / between).
- Set the value(s) and the chart & stats recalc instantly.
Use the date inputs to constrain the analysis window. “Clear” resets filters and dates.
