Sector Edge Research

An analyst who is great overall may be mediocre in specific sectors. Sector edge tells you exactly where their expertise is concentrated.

Why sector edge matters​

Two analysts may both have 65% accuracy lifetime. But one might be 80% accurate in Technology and 45% in Energy, while the other is consistently 65% across all sectors. Before acting on a tech call, you want to know which category each analyst falls into.

Getting sector edge for a single analyst​

traderbro analyst sector-edge noLimitGains --period 3m

Output:

Sector          Calls   Accuracy %   Return % (3M)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Technology      14      78.6%        +24.3%
Financials      8       62.5%        +9.1%
Energy          3       —            —

— appears when there are fewer calls than --min-calls (default 3) or return windows haven't matured.
