This article provides an overview of how to effectively use financial data platforms to track and analyze a curated list of publicly traded companies connected to the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem. These platforms offer a suite of tools for investors of all experience levels.
Understanding Data Feeds and Updates
For pages displaying intraday views, data is from the current trading session. New price data is indicated by a visual "flash" to alert users to recent activity. It's important to note the timing of this data:
- Stocks: Data is typically delayed by 15 minutes, though real-time data is available for U.S. equities on the Cboe BZX exchange.
- Futures and Forex: Data is subject to a 10 or 15-minute delay.
The list of available cryptocurrency-related stock symbols is updated every 10 minutes throughout the trading day. However, new stocks are not automatically added to the list or re-ranked until the site performs its scheduled 10-minute update. The timestamp of the last update is always displayed for reference.
How to Customize Your View
Data tables are highly customizable, allowing you to focus on the information most relevant to your investment strategy.
Sorting and Views
Pages are initially sorted in a default order. You can instantly re-sort the entire list by clicking on any column heading. Furthermore, "Views" allow you to change the set of data columns displayed. Site members can create and save Custom Views for quick access.
Common Standard Views include:
- Main View: Displays core data like Symbol, Name, Last Price, Change, Percent Change, High, Low, Volume, and Time of Last Trade.
- Technical View: Focuses on metrics such as 20-Day Relative Strength, Historic Volatility, and Average Volume, alongside 52-Week High and Low points.
- Performance View: Shows weighted alpha and percentage changes over various periods (5-day, 1-month, 3-month, 1-year, and Year-to-Date).
- Fundamental View: Available for equities, this view presents data like Market Cap, P/E Ratio, Earnings Per Share, Net Income, and Dividend Yield. Note: Fundamental data download restrictions apply for non-U.S. markets.
Each view includes a "Links" column for quick access to a symbol's full quote, chart, options data, and technical analysis.
Advanced Data Features
Two unique features enhance analysis without navigating away from the page:
- More Data (+): Clicking the "+" icon next to a symbol expands a row of widgets, providing a deeper look into that specific stock's data. You can scroll through these widgets and click to be taken to the full dedicated page.
- Flipcharts: This member tool allows you to scroll through all the symbols on the list in a chart view. You can apply a custom chart template to analyze trends consistently across all assets. Note: Unlike full-page charts, Flipcharts do not feature live, streaming data updates.
Exporting Data for Offline Analysis
The Download tool is available to all site members, enabling you to export the currently displayed view to a .csv file. There are some limitations to be aware of:
- For large, dynamically-generated tables (like screeners), downloads are typically limited to the first 1000 records.
- Free members are limited to 1 download per day.
- Due to licensing, certain fundamental data (e.g., for Canadian stocks) cannot be downloaded and will be marked "N/L" (not licensed) in the file.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the delay for the stock price data shown?
U.S. equity data from the Cboe BZX exchange is real-time. Data for other stocks is on a 15-minute delay, while futures and forex data has a 10 or 15-minute delay. The page clearly indicates when new data has arrived with a "flash."
How often is the list of cryptocurrency stocks updated?
The list of symbols is refreshed every 10 minutes throughout the trading day. However, new additions to the list or changes to their ranking are only processed during these scheduled updates.
Can I download the data to analyze in a spreadsheet?
Yes, site members can download the data they see as a .csv file. Free accounts have a 1-download-per-day limit, while paid memberships offer significantly more. Be aware that licensing restrictions prevent the download of certain fundamental data for Canadian and other international markets.
What are Flipcharts and how do I use them?
Flipcharts are a free tool for members that let you quickly cycle through chart views for every symbol on a list. It's a efficient way to visually compare technical patterns across multiple cryptocurrency-related stocks at once, and you can apply a custom template for consistent analysis.
What kind of news is available on the platform?
The platform features its own exclusive news stories, with a focus on highlighting the day's most important market-moving news for stocks, ETFs, and commodities, which is highly valuable for crypto stock investors.
Is there a way to see pre-market and after-hours trading activity?
Yes, pre-market and post-market price data for U.S. equities is available, but this feature is typically reserved for paid Barchart Plus and Premier members within their dedicated data views.
