Market Cap Historical Data for the US Stock Market
It is the product of the number of shares outstanding and the stock share price and it vary on a daily-basis (as do the stock price), the market capitalization is a measure of how big or small a company is. It represents the current market value of a company or how much a company is worth in traders and investors' eyes. This doesn't mean that the market capitalization reflects the true value of a company.
Stocks are usually classified based on their size or market capitalization (also called market cap). Depending on this value, a stock could be a classified as a large-cap stock, a mid-cap, a small-cap or a micro-cap.
Unlike the Stock Market Capitalization trading item which downloads the latest market cap data for US companies, the item I am sharing retrieves market capitalization historical data for US stocks. The data can be found later in the following custom historical database: "mktcap", under a field with the same name. Market cap numbers are expressed in millions of dollars.
Here is an example of a trading rule that returns true if a stock is a small-cap, that is, its market capitalization is lower than one billion dollars:
GetData("mktcap ", "mktcap") < 1000
