## What the data means

| Signal            | What it means                                                 | What to check next                                                                                                                                      |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Relative strength | A market outperforms the group during the selected lookback.  | Confirm with [Screener](/features/crypto-screener-for-hyperliquid-traders.md) volume and trade count.                                                   |
| Laggard           | A market underperforms similar assets or the selected basket. | Check whether weakness is news-driven, liquidity-driven, or sector-wide.                                                                                |
| Recovery          | A market rebounds faster after a dump or event.               | Use [Chart](/terminal-sections/chart.md) to identify where the recovery started.                                                                        |
| Divergence        | One market separates from the rest of the group.              | Check [News](/features/crypto-news-feed-for-trading.md), [Funding](/features/funding-rates-and-perp-opportunities.md), and exchange-specific liquidity. |
| Lookback anchor   | The selected start time defines the whole comparison.         | Move the lookback to the exact event, local top, or dump candle you care about.                                                                         |

## Presets

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/fTNYQBNl6VkVHbXTpeA6" alt="Compare preset selector for built-in and custom market baskets."><figcaption><p>Compare preset selector for built-in and custom market baskets.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Proliquid includes presets based on categories and exchange volume. Use them when you want a fast starting point without manually selecting every market.

You can also create your own presets:

1. Pick the markets to display.
2. Adjust the lookback if needed.
3. Click the save icon.
4. Save as a new preset or update an existing custom preset.

Saved presets can be managed from [Compare settings](/settings/compare.md).

## Lookback window

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/IL321NnRCgYGr3oGiSKy" alt="Compare custom lookback control for anchoring relative performance."><figcaption><p>Compare custom lookback control for anchoring relative performance.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Choose a custom lookback to anchor the comparison to the move you care about. This is useful after a market-wide dump, a news event, or a local top.

Examples:

* Start the lookback at the exact dump candle to find which markets recovered fastest.
* Start from a local top to identify the weakest markets since the move began.
* Compare the same asset across exchanges when you are looking for price dislocation.

## Reading the chart

<figure><img src="/files/cU65I2YieOR6rfaReGeu" alt="Compare chart line selection for highlighting one market against the group."><figcaption><p>Compare chart line selection for highlighting one market against the group.</p></figcaption></figure>

Click a market line to highlight it against the rest of the chart. This makes it easier to follow one asset when many lines overlap.

When a market stands out, open the related market in [Terminal](/features/hyperliquid-trading-terminal.md) or review broader context in [Screener](/features/crypto-screener-for-hyperliquid-traders.md), [Funding](/features/funding-rates-and-perp-opportunities.md), and [News](/features/crypto-news-feed-for-trading.md).

Open the Compare tab in Proliquid: [proliquid.xyz/compare](https://www.proliquid.xyz/compare).
