What Trend Desk is
Trend Desk is a free trend-following dashboard. Every night it scans 100+ large-cap US stocks and the top 50 cryptocurrencies, computes the current trend state of each one under four classic signals, and publishes the result as a single sortable table. No account, no paywall, no newsletter capture.
The point is narrow on purpose: one question — is this thing in an uptrend or a downtrend right now, and when did that change? — answered the same way, every day, for every ticker on the board.
The four signals
- Supertrend 10/3 — the default. An ATR(10) band multiplied by 3, trailed behind price. Price above the band is bullish; a close through it flips the state.
- Supertrend 7/2.5 — a tighter, faster variant of the same idea. Flips earlier, whipsaws more.
- EMA cross 12/26 — bullish while the 12-period exponential moving average sits above the 26.
- Donchian 20/10 — bullish on a close above the prior 20-bar high, bearish on a close below the prior 10-bar low.
Each signal is computed on weekly bars (Monday-start, UTC) and on daily bars. The weekly view is the default because weekly trend signals flip rarely and mean more; the daily view is there for the impatient and for spotting divergence — the table flags any ticker whose daily and weekly states disagree.
The backtests
Every ticker's detail view carries a multi-year backtest of all four signals against buy-and-hold: total multiple, CAGR, maximum drawdown, trade count and win rate. The model is deliberately simple — long or cash, no shorting, no leverage, 0.1% fees per trade, action taken at the same weekly close that generates the signal. That last assumption is mildly optimistic, and the table says so. Backtests describe the past; they promise nothing about the future.
Data & cadence
Price data comes from public market-data feeds and is refreshed nightly (early morning UTC). Signals are recomputed on the full history each run. The "as of" stamp in the header tells you exactly when the board you're looking at was built. If a ticker fails to fetch on a given night, it's listed in the footer rather than silently dropped.
Who runs it
Trend Desk is an independent project, built and run by a small studio because we wanted this exact table to exist and every version of it we could find was behind an invoice. Questions, corrections, or a ticker you think belongs on the board: hello@trenddesk.pro.
