KlickAnalytics runs thousands of calculations on price volume, fundamental, and time-series datasets. One of the important calculations is Historical Performance. We calculate the historical performance on various data e.g.

  • Open Price

  • High Price

  • Low Price

  • Close Price

  • Adjusted Close

  • Volume

  • Change ($)

  • Change (%)

and more. For each of the above, we calculate the historical performance based on duration i.e. 1 Day, 1 Week etc. e.g. for 1 Week Historical Performance, we take the current date and 1 Week prior date to calculate the percentage change. i.e.

For Historical Performance Calculation, we take:

1 Week = Current Date and Date 1 Week Ago
1 Month = Current Date and Date 1 Month Ago
1 Year = Current Date and Date 1 Year Ago
​​​​​​​5 Years = Current Date and Date 5 Years Ago​​​​​​​​​​ 

As a result of the above rule, we provide the following historical performance data;

  • 1 Week

  • 10 Days

  • 20 Days

  • 21 Days

  • 1 Month

  • 50 Days

  • 3 Months

  • 100 Days

  • 6 Months

  • 200 Days

  • 9 Months

  • 1 Year

  • 2 Years

  • 3 Years

  • 5 Years

  • 10 Years

  • 20 Years

Keep in mind that other websites could use a different calculation, so our historical performance value might not match those sources. We recommend checking with the sources you use to learn what calculation they use for historical performance calculations.
