The Top 100 ETFs page ranks exchange traded funds by highest Weighted Alpha (measure of how much an ETF has changed in a one year period).
The report shows you the symbol's rank from the previous day's report. A rank of "N/A" indicates that the symbol is new to today's report (it was not on the Top 100 page yesterday).
Note: The rank on the report only applies to ETFs with a 1x leverage.
What's Included
To be included, U.S. market ETFs have to be trading between $2 and $10,000 and have daily volume above 1,000 shares. For Canada, ETFs have to be trading between $0.25 and $10,000 and have daily volume above 1,000 shares. The initial view shows only ETFs with a leverage of 1x (Long). Barchart Members, once logged in, may filter the ETFs that appear using the Leverage boxes at the top of the page.
About Weighted Alpha
Weighted Alphais a measure of how much an ETF has risen or fallen over a one-year period. The weightings are restricted to restricted to only ETFs with a leverage of "1" (short, double and triple ETFs are excluded from the calculations.)
Barchart.com takes this alpha (measure of how much an ETF has changed in the one-year period) and weights this, assigning more weight to recent activity, and less (0.5 factor) to activity at the beginning of the period. Thus the weighted alpha is a measure of one year growth with an emphasis on the most recent price activity.
An ETF whose price has risen over the one-year period will have a positive Weighted Alpha. An ETF whose price has not changed in the period will have a small Weighted Alpha and an ETF whose price has dropped over the period will have a negative Weighted Alpha.
Note: The Weighted Alpha is limited in the amount it may change from one day to the next, thus eliminating large price jumps from the calculation.
Receive Newly Ranked ETFs Email
Available only with a Premier Membership, you can opt to receive an end-of-day email of newly ranked ETFs to the Top 100 page. A newly ranked stock is one whose previous rank appears as "N/A" on the page.
Historical
Available only with a Barchart Plus or Barchart Premier Membership, you can view historical pages for 1x leveraged ETFs by choosing a date from the Historical date picker. This will show you the data for the page as of the chosen date. Historical Top 100 ETFs reports start at 03/06/2020. Flipcharts and Download is available for historical reports.
Screen
Available only with a Barchart Plus or Premier Membership, you can base an ETF Screener off the symbols currently on the page. This lets you add additional filters to further narrow down the list of candidates.
Example:
- Click "Screen" on the page and the ETF Screener opens, pulling in the symbols from the Top 100 ETFs page.
- Add additional criteria in the Screener, such as "20-Day Moving Average is greater than the Last Price", or "Trend Seeker® Opinion is Buy".
- View the results and save them to a Watchlist, or save the Screener to run again at a later date.
- Running a Saved Screener at a later date will always present a new list of results. Your Saved Screener will always start with the most current set of symbols found on the Top 100 ETFs page before applying your custom filters and displaying new results.
Data Updates
For pages showing Intraday views, we use the current session's data with new price data appear on the page as indicated by a "flash". Stocks: 15 minute delay (Cboe BZX data for U.S. equities is real-time), ET. Volume reflects consolidated markets. Futures and Forex: 10 or 15 minute delay, CT.
The list of symbols included on the page is updated every 10 minutes throughout the trading day. However, new stocks are not automatically added to or re-ranked on the page until the site performs its 10-minute update.
For reference, we include the date and timestamp of when the list was last updated at the top right of the page.
Page Sort
Pages are initially sorted in a specific order (depending on the data presented). You can re-sort the page by clicking on any of the column headings in the table.
Views
Most data tables can be analyzed using "Views." A View simply presents the symbols on the page with a different set of columns. Site members can also display the page using Custom Views.
Each View has a "Links" column on the far right to access a symbol's Quote Overview, Chart, Options Quotes (when available), Barchart Opinion, and Technical Analysis page. Standard Views found throughout the site include:
- Main View: Symbol, Name, Last Price, Change, Percent Change, High, Low, Volume, and Time of Last Trade.

View Symbol More Data (+)
Unique to Barchart.com, data tables contain an option that allows you to see more data for the symbol without leaving the page. Click the "+" icon in the first column (on the left) to view more data for the selected symbol. Scroll through widgets of the different content available for the symbol. Click on any of the widgets to go to the full page. The "More Data" widgets are also available from the Links column of the right side of the data table.
Horizontal Scroll on Wide Tables
Especially when using a custom view, you may find that the number of columns chosen exceeds the available space to show all the data. In this case, the table must be horizontally scrolled (left to right) to view all of the information. To do this, you can either scroll to the bottom of the table and use the table's scrollbar, or you can scroll the table using your browser's built-in scroll:
- Left-click with your mouse anywhere on the table.
- Use your keyboard's left and right arrows to scroll the table.
- Repeat this anywhere as you move through the table to enable horizontal scrolling.
Flipcharts
Also unique to Barchart, Flipcharts allow you to scroll through all the symbols on the table in a chart view. While viewing Flipcharts, you can apply a custom chart template, further customizing the way you can analyze the symbols. Flipcharts are a free tool available to Site Members.
Note: Flipcharts, unlike the full-page chart or Dashboard, does not stream updated data to the chart.
Download
Download is a free tool available to Site Members. This tool will download a .csv file for the View being displayed. For dynamically-generated tables (such as a Stock or ETF Screener) where you see more than 1000 rows of data, the download will be limited to only the first 1000 records on the table. For other static pages (such as the Russell 3000 Components list) all rows will be downloaded.
Free members are limited to 1 site download per day. Barchart Plus Members have 10 downloads per day, while Barchart Premier Members may download up to 250 .csv files per day.
Note: Due to licensing restrictions, Canadian fundamental data cannot be downloaded from Barchart.com. You will see "N/L" in a downloaded column when this is the case.
Should you require more than 250 downloads per day, please contact Barchart Sales at 866-333-7587 or email [email protected] for more information or additional options about historical market data.
