Research resources and product guides
Product guides and workflow resources for Buydy members and prospects. Use these pages to understand how screening, heat maps, indexes, and dividend research fit together, then register for 12 months of free access, no card required, when you are ready to work in the live workspace.
Buydy is a research workspace, not a tip service. Metrics stay precise: when source data is insufficient, values stay blank instead of being filled with approximations. The guides below explain the workflows; the dashboard is where you run them on a schedule.
Heat map research pillars
Two related comparison workflows: live stock percentile research and live ETF fund comparison with label peer ranks.
Stock heat map →Compare large-cap equities with sector-aware percentile ranks. Color and rank help you prioritize relative strength, while blank cells mean insufficient source data rather than a hidden estimate.
ETF heat map →Compare US-listed ETFs with label peer percentile ranks on fees, yield, liquidity, and return windows. Expand label rows, read ranks next to raw values, and pair with the live ETF screener.
