Home page

The home page: a live ticker, a featured stock, the day's five biggest moves explained, global indices, sector heatmap, market mood, movers, commodities, AI insights, flows, calendar, news, corporate actions, stock picks, a stock comparison, market breadth, earnings and price alerts.

Open page
  1. 1Pick the market with the globe button at the top: “All markets” shows India and the USA together where a panel can (the snapshot, indices, movers, news, earnings); panels about one market (heatmap, mood, breadth, flows, picks) use India or the USA as you choose, or the market for where you are when you pick All markets. Your choice is remembered and other pages open on it too.
  2. 2The strip under the menu scrolls through key indices, crude oil, gold, the US 10-year yield, USD / INR and Bitcoin with today’s change. Hover it to pause; click a name to open its chart.
  3. 3Type a stock in the big search box (3 letters for suggestions) and press “Analyze” to open its page. The four boxes under it count today’s stocks up, stocks near their 52-week high, the share of stocks rising (breadth) and stocks near their 52-week low.
  4. 4The card on the right shows a featured stock (Reliance for India, Apple for the USA): price, today’s change, a chart (1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 1Y, 5Y), an AI summary of its key numbers and stats such as P/E, 52-week high / low, RSI, EPS, volume, dividend yield and beta.
  5. 5“Daily market snapshot” lists today’s five biggest moves. Under each, the AI explains in one line why it moved, using only that stock’s own recent headlines; when no headline explains it, it says so instead of guessing (without the AI, the stock’s latest headline is shown).
  6. 6“Global indices” lists Indian, US and world indices with the last level, change, day range and a 5-day trend line; filter with ALL / IN / US / GL.
  7. 7“Sector heatmap” colours each sector by today’s move (green up, red down, stronger colour = bigger move; bigger tiles = bigger sectors). “Full view” opens Heatmaps.
  8. 8The mood gauge shows the 0 to 100 market mood and its zone (Extreme Fear → Fear → Neutral → Optimism → Strong Buying → Euphoria), with the VIX, breadth and the readings of the previous day and a week ago once they are recorded.
  9. 9“Market movers” switches between Gainers, Losers and Most active, with a 5-day trend line per stock. “Commodities, FX & crypto” lists crude oil, Brent, gold, silver, USD / INR, EUR / USD, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  10. 10“AI market insights” turns today’s market headlines into short tagged lines (TECH, BANKS, a ticker …). “Flows & breadth” shows FII and DII net buying (India), stocks up and down and new 52-week highs.
  11. 11“Economic calendar” lists this week’s high and medium impact events; “Market news” the latest headlines with how long ago they came out; “Corporate actions” upcoming NSE dividends, splits, bonuses and buybacks with their ex-date.
  12. 12“Stock picks” lists rule-based technical setups (Buy / Sell) with the first target and reward/risk; “Full view” opens Technical picks.
  13. 13“Stock comparison” compares three stocks on price, P/E, P/B, ROE, 1-year return, debt/equity, dividend yield and beta (the best value is shaded green) with a growth-of-100 chart over a year. Type in a box and pick a stock to swap it.
  14. 14“Market breadth” shows the advancing / declining bar, the A/D ratio and the large stocks that added or lost the most market value today.
  15. 15“Earnings calendar” lists results due this week or in the next 30 days with the estimated EPS. Signed in, “Smart price alerts” lets you add a price-above / price-below alert in one line and see your active alerts.
  16. 16Signed in, a personal row under the snapshot shows recently viewed stocks, your watchlist with live prices, your biggest movers, your upcoming results and your recent alerts.

Every number comes from live market data; the AI only explains real headlines and the featured stock’s figures. The AI text is refreshed at most every 30 minutes and is in English.

“Prev. day” and “1 wk ago” on the mood gauge fill in as the daily readings are recorded.

Stock page & charts

Live price, an advanced candlestick chart with indicators, key statistics, technicals, news and AI analysis for one stock, index, futures contract, currency pair or bond yield.

  1. 1Open a stock from search, a table or the heatmap. Indices, futures, currencies and bond yields open the same page from the Markets tables, the Home page or the ticker strip under the menu.
  2. 2Choose a timeframe above the chart: 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 1D, 1W or 1M. On 1D and 1W charts, the buttons under the toolbar (1M, 3M, 6M, YTD, 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, All) set how much history is shown.
  3. 3Pick a chart type from the drop-down: Candles, Heikin Ashi (smoothed candles that make trends easier to see), OHLC bars, Line or Area. Press “Log” for a logarithmic price scale, where equal % moves look the same size.
  4. 4Toggle overlays on the price chart: SMA 20, EMA 20, SMA 50, SMA 200, VWAP, Bollinger Bands and Supertrend (green under the price in an uptrend, red above it in a downtrend).
  5. 5Press “Levels” to draw today’s pivot point (P), R1 and S1 and the nearest support and resistance as lines on the chart. Signed in, “My alerts” draws your active price alerts for this stock.
  6. 6On the 1D chart press “Patterns” to mark candlestick patterns: a green arrow under a candle is a bullish pattern, a red arrow above it a bearish one, a dot a doji. Patterns of the last few weeks are named next to the marker.
  7. 7Toggle indicator panes below the chart: RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, ADX and OBV (on-balance volume). Drag the separators to resize panes.
  8. 8Hover the chart: the legend in the top-left corner shows that bar’s open, high, low, close, change and volume, plus the value of each overlay. Scroll or pinch to zoom, drag to pan.
  9. 9Press “Full screen” for a bigger chart; press it again or Esc to return. Your timeframe, chart type, overlays and panes are remembered on this device.
  10. 10Read “Technical summary” under the chart: three gauges show what 15 moving averages and 11 oscillators say about the latest bar, from Strong sell to Strong buy. Switch the timeframe (15m to 1M) above the gauges; press “Show every indicator and its rule” to see each indicator’s value, its vote and the rule behind it (hover a row).
  11. 11“Candlestick patterns” (next to Key levels) lists the patterns of the last 20 sessions, such as Hammer, Bullish engulfing or Evening star, with a one-line meaning and how the same pattern played out before on this stock: how often the price was higher (bullish) or lower (bearish) 5 sessions later, and the average move.
  12. 12“Key levels” shows where the price sits in its 52-week range, today’s pivot points (R1–R3 above, S1–S3 below, from the previous day’s high, low and close), the nearest support and resistance levels with how often they were tested, and the typical daily range (ATR).
  13. 13US stocks and ETFs: outside regular hours a second line under the price shows the latest pre-market price (4:00–9:30 am New York time, sunrise icon) or after-hours price (4:00–8:00 pm, moon icon), with its change against the regular close. “live” means that session is running now; otherwise the line says when the price was set (for example last night’s after-hours price, shown until the next pre-market trade). During regular hours the line disappears, because the regular price is the latest.
  14. 14Read Key stats, Technicals (daily) and About further down.
  15. 15Press “Watch” to add or remove the stock from a watchlist, or choose “New watchlist…” to create one.
  16. 16Press “Alert” to be notified when the price or an indicator crosses a level, or “Email me updates” to get its price by email every 10, 30 or 60 minutes (or your own interval) while the market is open (see Alerts).
  17. 17Read the StockXpress Score under the price: one 0–100 number from five factors (Quality, Growth, Value, Momentum, Safety). Press “How this score is calculated” to see every input, its value and its points.
  18. 18Use the tabs at the bottom: “AI analyst” (press “Run AI analysis”), “Analysts” (what brokerage analysts say: this month’s mix of Strong buy to Strong sell with the consensus, the average, low and high 12-month price target against today’s price, the last 4 months of ratings and recent upgrades, downgrades and target changes by firm), “Financials” (yearly revenue, margins, cash flow, debt, red-flag checks, valuation vs history and peers, the last quarters’ results and, for NSE stocks, the shareholding pattern: promoter vs public holding for the last 12 quarters), “Earnings” (next results date, the move options are pricing in for it, beat rate, EPS estimate vs actual and how the stock moved after past results), “Seasonality” (month-by-month returns for each year) and “News” (headlines with their tone and a day-by-day tone chart).
  19. 19“Scorecard” tab: the stock’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in four boxes, each line from a real figure (for example “Strong Return on equity: 28%”, “Analysts’ average target is 22% above the price”, “12% of promoter shares are pledged”). Fixed rules, the same for every stock.
  20. 20“Insiders” tab (NSE stocks): whether promoters, directors and officers have been net buyers or sellers, the share of promoter holding that is pledged and how it changed by quarter, and every insider trade disclosed to SEBI (who, role, buy / sell / pledge, shares, average price, value, holding after). Click the link icon to open the filing.
  21. 21“Discussion” tab: read what members think. Signed in, write a post (tag it Bullish or Bearish if you like), reply to a post, like it, or report spam and abuse. The bar at the top shows how many recent tagged posts were bullish vs bearish. Sort by Newest or Most liked; you can delete your own posts.
  22. 22Press “Compare” to put the stock on the Compare chart, or “Options” to open its options chain.

A green dot next to the price means it is updating on screen as new quotes arrive; “Real-time” or “Delayed 15 min” says how fresh the source is.

The main US price is real-time during regular hours. Pre-market and after-hours prices come from free sources and are usually about 15 minutes delayed (the line says so). Trading outside regular hours is thin, so these prices can jump more than usual.

The technical summary counts indicator signals with fixed rules (the same ones TradingView uses); it describes the chart, it is not a recommendation.

The StockXpress Score uses fixed rules for every stock and needs at least 3 of the 5 factors; it is information, not a buy or sell signal.

Candlestick patterns are found with fixed rules on daily candles; a pattern is a hint, not a signal on its own. “Too few to judge” means the pattern appeared fewer than 5 times before on this stock.

Analyst ratings and targets are published by brokerages and often wrong; StockXpress only counts and averages them. Many smaller stocks have no coverage.

For an index, futures contract, currency pair or bond yield the page shows its type (for example “Bond yield”) instead of an exchange, and leaves out company figures such as P/E and market cap. A bond yield’s price is the yield in percent.

Markets: indices, futures, bonds, currencies, stocks, ETFs & crypto

One page for the whole market picture: world indices, futures, bond yields, currencies, the day’s stock movers, ETFs and crypto, each with its price source and delay.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Markets” from the menu. The badges at the top right show if each market is open and whether prices are Real-time or Delayed.
  2. 2“Overview” shows key tiles, the India and US market mood gauges and the top gainers. Each gauge gives a score from 0 to 100 and names its zone, low to high: Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Optimism, Strong Buying, Euphoria (the peak); the current zone is highlighted under the bar. Press “How this is calculated” on a mood card to see its parts.
  3. 3Pick “World indices”, “Futures”, “Bonds”, “Currencies”, “ETFs” or “Crypto” to see that group. Use the chips above a table (for example India / US / Europe) to narrow it.
  4. 4Click any name (Nifty 50, Gold, USD / INR, US 10-year Treasury yield…) to open its chart page with indicators, technicals and news. You can add it to a watchlist or set a price alert there too.
  5. 5Every price refreshes by itself every few seconds while the page is open. A cell flashes green or red when its price changes, and the line above the table says how many prices moved.
  6. 6The Feed column shows whether each price is live or delayed (and by how many minutes).
  7. 7Pick “Stocks”, choose USA or India, then Top gainers, Top losers, Most active, Top volume or Volume spike. Click a symbol to open its stock page. With USA chosen, “Pre-market and after-hours movers” opens those lists on Market stats.
  8. 8Tick several stocks, ETFs or coins (or the box in the header to select every row shown) and press “Add to watchlist” to save them together.
  9. 9Click a column heading to sort (see “Sorting and filtering table columns”).

Indian prices are real-time when the live India feed is connected for the day; otherwise they are delayed about 15 minutes and say so. When it is live, the Stocks tab’s Indian lists also show real-time prices (the line above the table says so) and gainers / losers are ordered on the live change.

Index levels (Nifty 50, Sensex, S&P 500…) are points and currency rates (USD / INR 94.97) are plain rates, so neither shows a ₹ or $ sign. Stocks, ETFs, futures and crypto keep their currency.

The market mood zones: Extreme Fear below 20, Fear 20–40, Neutral 40–60, Optimism 60–75, Strong Buying 75–90, Euphoria 90 and above. Euphoria is the peak, when buying is at its most heated.

The market mood is StockXpress’s own approximation from the VIX, index momentum, market breadth and 52-week highs vs lows. It is not Tickertape’s Market Mood Index and not investment advice.

Bond yields are US Treasuries only; Indian government-bond yields and MCX futures are not available from our data sources.

Anything a data source cannot price right now is left out, never filled in.

World markets: Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas

Markets outside India and the USA: Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Canada and Brazil. Each country page shows its main indices and today's top gainers, losers and most active stocks.

Open page
  1. 1Open the market picker at the top (the globe button showing “All markets”, “India” or “USA”).
  2. 2Choose “Other markets”. A list opens with the regions Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Americas and their countries.
  3. 3Click a country, for example Japan. Its page opens and the picker shows the country’s name.
  4. 4The cards at the top are the country’s main indices (for Japan the Nikkei 225, for China the Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Component). Click a card to open its chart.
  5. 5Below, switch between Top gainers, Top losers and Most active (by value traded today). The lists cover the country’s larger companies on its main exchange (about US$1 billion and up).
  6. 6Click a symbol to open its stock page, with chart, key figures and news. Tick several stocks and press “Add to watchlist” in the bar at the bottom to save them.
  7. 7To see every country at once with its headline index, open “World markets” under Markets in the menu, or “All world markets” at the bottom of the Other markets list.
  8. 8To go back to Indian or US pages, open the picker and choose India, USA or All markets.

Hong Kong and China pages are live: the indices and every stock price in the lists update in real time (the lists are re-ranked on the live change). The Nikkei 225, KOSPI, KOSDAQ, Taiwan TAIEX, S&P/ASX 200, Straits Times (Singapore), IBEX 35 (Spain), AEX (Netherlands) and Euro Stoxx 50 index cards are live too.

Other prices on these pages (the remaining indices and the stock lists outside Hong Kong and China) are delayed, usually by 15–20 minutes. Each index card says “real time” or how many minutes it is delayed, and the badge at the top shows the largest delay on the page and where the prices come from.

South Korea’s lists cover both boards, KOSPI and KOSDAQ; the page shows both indices.

London prices are in pence (p), Tel Aviv prices in agorot (ag., 1/100 shekel) and Kuwait prices in fils (1/1000 dinar), as those exchanges quote them.

The UAE lists cover the Dubai exchange (DFM). Egypt shows its EGX 30 index only: live share prices for Egypt are not reliable from our source yet.

The page refreshes by itself every few seconds while it is open (every minute when all its prices are delayed).

Market stats: circuits, 52-week highs, volume shockers, pre-market & after hours

Today's market action in one place: top gainers and losers by index, stocks at new 52-week highs or lows, volume and price shockers, stocks locked at their upper or lower circuit (India) and the biggest pre-market and after-hours movers (USA).

Open page
  1. 1Open “Market stats” under Markets in the menu. It opens on India or the USA (see Home page); use the India / USA switch at the top right to change.
  2. 2Pick a list: Top gainers, Top losers, 52-week high, 52-week low, Volume shockers, Price shockers, for India Upper circuit and Lower circuit, and for the USA Pre-market and After hours.
  3. 3Pre-market / After hours (USA): pick Gainers, Losers or Most active underneath. The list ranks US stocks worth over $1 billion that traded at least 10,000 shares in that session by their change against the regular close (Most active: by shares traded). The badge says “Live now” while the session runs (pre-market 4:00–9:30 am, after hours 4:00–8:00 pm New York time); otherwise it shows the date of the last session, for example yesterday’s pre-market during regular hours.
  4. 4For India’s gainers and losers, pick the index underneath: Nifty 50, Nifty Bank, Nifty Next 50, F&O stocks or All stocks.
  5. 5The badges at the top show how many Indian stocks are locked at their upper circuit (only buyers left) and lower circuit (only sellers left) right now.
  6. 6Click a column heading to sort, use the funnel to filter, and page through long lists (25 rows at a time; change “Rows per page” under the table).
  7. 7Tick stocks and press “Add to watchlist” in the bar at the bottom to save them. Click a symbol to open its page.

Volume shockers: “Rel. volume” is today’s volume divided by the 1-week average, so 5× means five times the usual volume. Big volume with a big move often means news.

A circuit (price band) is the most a stock may move in a day, for example 5%, 10% or 20%. A stock at its upper circuit has buyers but no sellers at that price.

India lists come from NSE’s live market analysis (refreshed every minute; only shares, not bonds). US lists come from the TradingView scanner.

Pre-market and after-hours prices are about 15 minutes delayed and trading is thin, so moves can be large; stocks that did not trade in the session are left out. Shortcut: on Markets → Stocks, choose USA and press “Pre-market and after-hours movers”.

Market calendar: holidays and economic events

See when NSE and NYSE are closed, US early closes, and this week's economic events that move markets (Fed and other central-bank decisions, inflation, jobs, GDP), plus key Indian dates such as RBI policy and the Budget.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Market calendar” under Markets in the menu.
  2. 2Pick how far ahead to look: This week, 5 weeks, 3 months or 12 months.
  3. 3Use the switches to show India holidays (NSE closed), US holidays (NYSE closed, including 1 pm early closes) and Economic events. The market for where you are is on by default.
  4. 4With Economic events on, choose High impact, Medium + or All. High-impact events (central-bank rate decisions, inflation, jobs reports) move prices the most.
  5. 5Each day lists its events with the time (in your time zone), the currency or market, the impact, and for data releases the forecast and the previous value.
  6. 6Events marked “Key date” are Indian dates the site administrator added, such as RBI policy decisions or the Union Budget.

Economic events come from a weekly feed, so they cover the current week only; holidays cover the whole year.

A bank holiday in another country (for example UK or Japan) does not close Indian or US markets but can make currency markets quieter.

Earnings dates are on the Earnings page, and board meetings, dividends and splits on FII/DII & deals.

Sorting and filtering table columns

Order any table by a column, narrow it with per-column filters, and page through long tables 25, 50, 100 or 500 rows at a time.

  1. 1Click a column heading to sort. First click: lowest to highest (numbers), A to Z (text) or oldest first (dates). Second click: the reverse. Third click: back to the original order.
  2. 2Rows with no value in that column always stay at the bottom.
  3. 3Click the funnel icon next to a heading to open its panel. It has the same sort buttons plus a filter.
  4. 4Number columns: type a minimum and/or maximum. Text columns: type part of a name (3+ letters shows suggestions with the match highlighted). Category columns: tick the values to keep. Date columns: pick From and To dates.
  5. 5Filters on different columns combine: a row must match all of them. Active filters appear as chips above the table with the count of rows shown; press a chip’s × or “Clear all filters” to remove them.
  6. 6Long tables show 25 rows at a time. Under the table, change “Rows per page” to 50, 100 or 500, and use the arrows (first, previous, next, last) to move between pages; the middle shows which rows you are seeing, e.g. “26–50 of 312”. Your choice is remembered on this device for every table. Sorting or filtering goes back to the first page.
  7. 7On the Screener, headings that are screen fields re-run the screen sorted across all matches (not just the rows on screen). On AI history use the “Sort by” list. Tables that are paged on the server (Admin: AI usage) sort the whole list.

Filters apply to the rows loaded in the table. If a list says “Showing the top 500 of 842 matches”, change the screen itself to look further.

Ticking “select all” in a header selects only the rows currently shown after filtering.

On a phone the small up/down arrows are hidden to save space: tap the heading to sort, or tap the funnel for the sort buttons. Each table shows as many columns as fit its card: on a phone, or in a narrow card, you see the essentials (for example the change % sits under the price, and Buy/Sell under the symbol); more columns appear when the table is wider. Rotate the phone or widen the window to see them all.

Heatmaps

See the whole market or one index at a glance: tile size is market value, value traded or volume, colour is the change today or over a longer period.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Heatmaps” from the menu.
  2. 2Choose the period: Today, 1W, 1M, 3M, YTD (since 1 January) or 1Y. The description under the title says which change the colours show.
  3. 3Choose Market, Sector or Industry grouping, and USA or India.
  4. 4Pick an index from the box under the title to see only its members: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 or Dow Jones 30 (USA); Nifty 50, Nifty Next 50, Nifty 100, Nifty Midcap 100, Nifty Bank, IT, Auto, Pharma, FMCG or Metal (India). “Largest 200 stocks” shows the biggest companies of the market.
  5. 5Choose “Size by”: Market cap (company value), Value traded (money that changed hands today, where the action is) or Volume (shares traded today).
  6. 6Green tiles went up over the period, red tiles went down; stronger colour means a bigger move (longer periods need bigger moves for full colour).
  7. 7Hover a tile for the exact change, price, market cap, value traded and volume; click it to open the stock.
  8. 8The boxes under the map show each group’s change, weighted by tile size.

Today’s colours use real-time price changes wherever a live feed answers (India with the live India feed, US stocks, Hong Kong and China); the description then has no delay note. Longer periods (1W to 1Y) come from the whole-market scan, about 15 minutes delayed.

Longer periods and index filters come from the whole-market scan; if it is briefly unavailable, only Today’s map of the largest stocks works and the page says so.

Before the market opens, value traded and volume are small or zero, so stocks with no trades yet are left out of those views.

Sector rotation

See which sectors are leading, weakening, lagging or improving against the market, and where each one is heading, on one chart built from weekly prices.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Markets” → “Sector rotation” in the menu.
  2. 2Pick India or USA at the top right. India compares NSE sector ETFs with the Nifty 50; USA compares the SPDR sector funds with the S&P 500.
  3. 3Read the chart: further right = stronger than the market (RS-Ratio above 100), higher up = gaining strength (RS-Momentum above 100). Top right is Leading, bottom right Weakening, bottom left Lagging, top left Improving.
  4. 4Each sector draws a trail of its last weeks; the big dot with the name is the latest week. Choose how long the trail is with “Trail”: 4, 8 or 12 weeks.
  5. 5Hover a dot for the sector’s values and week. Hover a sector name in the four quadrant cards (or a table row) to highlight its trail and fade the others; click a name to keep it highlighted.
  6. 6The table lists every sector with its quadrant, RS-Ratio, RS-Momentum, its return over 4 weeks and how much better or worse that was than the market. Click a heading to sort, or the ticker to open the ETF’s page.
  7. 7Tick sectors and press “Add to watchlist” to follow their ETFs.
  8. 8Press “How it is calculated” for the exact method.

Sectors usually move clockwise: Improving → Leading → Weakening → Lagging. A sector entering Improving is gaining strength before it has outperformed; one moving into Weakening is slowing while still ahead.

Weekly prices change slowly, so the chart is most useful for the trend of the last weeks, not for today’s moves.

It is StockXpress’s open approximation of the well-known relative rotation graph method; the original formulas are not public.

Screener: trending, 52-week highs & lows, custom screens

Discover trending stocks and 52-week extremes, then build your own screens across the whole US or Indian market.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Screener” from the menu.
  2. 2In “Market pulse”, pick USA or India, then a tab: Trending, 52W Highs, 52W Lows, Top Gainers, Top Losers, Most Active or Volume Spike.
  3. 3Each row shows the 52-week range bar: the dot shows where today’s price sits between the yearly low and high.
  4. 4Tick stocks in any tab (selections are kept when you switch tabs) and press “Add to watchlist” to save them all at once.
  5. 5In “Technical scans”, pick USA or India and click a scan: Golden cross, Death cross, MACD bullish/bearish cross, RSI oversold/overbought, 52-week breakout, Back above / Broke below 200-day, or Volume breakout, plus candlestick patterns on today’s candle: Bullish / Bearish engulfing, Hammer, Shooting star, Morning star, Evening star, Three white soldiers and Three black crows. Hover a button to see its exact rule. Tick results and press “Add to watchlist” to keep them.
  6. 6Under “Custom screen”, pick USA or India, then a ready-made screen: choose Fundamental (e.g. Quality compounders, Growth at a fair price, High dividend, Low debt), Technical (e.g. Momentum leaders, Technical strong buy, Pullback in uptrend) or Events (Results this week). Hover a button to see its rules.
  7. 7To build your own: choose a field from the grouped list (Price & volume, Valuation, Profitability, Growth, Financial health, Dividends, Technicals, Performance, Earnings), a condition (>, <, between…) and a value. The line under each filter explains the field; the hint next to the box gives its unit (%, ×, -1 … +1).
  8. 8Large amounts can be typed short: 10B, 500M, 2T or, for India, 5000cr (crore) and 50L (lakh).
  9. 9For Sector, tick one or more sectors in the list; for Trend, choose up, down or sideways.
  10. 10Press “Add filter” for more conditions, choose “Sort by” and the arrow (highest or lowest first), then press “Run screen”.
  11. 11The results show price and change, then one column for each field you filtered on (so you can see why each stock matched), then the usual columns. Click a heading to re-run the screen sorted by it across every match, or use the funnel icon to filter the rows shown. Tick stocks and press “Add to watchlist”, or press “CSV” to download the results. Narrower screens show fewer columns (price, change and your first filter always stay); the CSV has every column.
  12. 12Signed in, press “Save” to keep the screen under a name; “My screens” lists your saved screens on any device. Pick one to run it again; the bin deletes it.
  13. 13Want to hear when a new stock matches? Turn on “Alert me when a new stock matches” when you save, or open “My screens” and press the bell next to a saved screen, then switch the alert on. Today’s matches become the starting point; after that the screen is checked about once an hour and any stock that newly matches pops up in the app, appears under “Recent triggers” on the Alerts page and in the daily email. Switch on “Also email me right away” for an email each time. Press “Check now” to run the check straight away.
  14. 14Press “Copy link” to share the screen: anyone who opens the link sees the same filters and the results run straight away.
  15. 15Signed in? Describe what you want in plain English in “AI screener” (e.g. “Indian banks near 52-week lows”) and press “Translate & run”. Earlier AI screens are under “History” in that card.

Presets automatically add a minimum company size so tiny, illiquid stocks don’t flood the results.

Fundamental fields (P/E, ROE, debt/equity, growth, margins…) and the technical rating come from the whole-market scan. If that scan is briefly unavailable the screener falls back to a built-in list of large caps, which has prices and technicals only; the note above the results says which filters could not be used.

Which stocks appear comes from a whole-market scan. The price and change % of each row are real-time when a live feed answers for it (India when the live India feed is connected, US stocks during market hours, Hong Kong and China); the badge then says “prices real-time” and no delay. Rows without a live price stay on the scan, about 15 minutes delayed, and the badge says so. Filters and the other columns use the scan.

Screen alerts work on screens that match 200 stocks or fewer; add filters to narrow a broader screen. You can get alerts on up to 10 saved screens. A stock that drops out and comes back within a day is not alerted twice.

Technical picks: buy and sell ideas with stop-loss and targets

A daily list of stocks with a fresh technical signal (breakout, golden cross, MACD cross, candlestick pattern ...) and a ready trade plan: entry zone, stop-loss, targets and reward-to-risk.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Technical picks” under Research in the menu. It opens on India or the USA (see Home page); switch with India / USA at the top right.
  2. 2Pick “Buy ideas” or “Sell ideas”. The number in brackets is how many stocks have a fresh signal.
  3. 3Each row shows the stock, its price and today’s change, the signals that fired (for example 52-week breakout, Golden cross, Bullish engulfing) and the overall technical rating.
  4. 4A tick next to the symbol means the overall technical rating (the same gauge as on the stock page) agrees with the signal; those picks are listed first.
  5. 5“Entry · stop-loss” shows the zone to buy (or sell) in and the stop-loss with the risk in percent. “Targets” shows up to two target prices with the expected move; “Reward / risk” is the best target’s gain divided by the risk.
  6. 6Sort or filter by any column (for example highest reward / risk), page through long lists, tick stocks and add them to a watchlist with the bar at the bottom, or click a symbol to check its chart first.

Picks are refreshed every 30 minutes from the whole liquid market. The entry zone runs from the nearest support up to the price, the stop sits half a daily range (ATR) under that support, and targets are the next resistances, the 52-week high or 2× / 3× the risk; targets worth less than the risk are dropped. Sell ideas use the mirror rules.

Signals on today’s candle can change until the market closes. Always check the chart, the news and your own risk before trading. These are ideas to research, not advice.

Compare stocks, ETFs and indices

Put up to five stocks, ETFs or indices on one chart (all starting at 100) and compare return, volatility, drawdown and how closely they move together.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Compare” from the menu, or press “Compare” on any stock page.
  2. 2Type 3+ letters in the box (e.g. “aapl”, “nifty”) and pick a suggestion. Repeat for up to five.
  3. 3Choose the period: 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 3Y or 5Y.
  4. 4Read the chart: every line starts at 100, so 120 means +20% over the period. Hover to see values.
  5. 5The dashed grey line is the benchmark index (S&P 500 for US stocks, Nifty 50 for Indian ones). Pick another one (Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones 30, Nifty Bank, Sensex) or “No benchmark” in the box next to the period.
  6. 6In “Return and risk”, compare total return, return per year, volatility, maximum drawdown, return per unit of risk and best/worst day. With a benchmark, “vs index” shows how many percentage points each stock beat (green) or trailed (red) the index, and “Beta” how much it moves when the index moves 1% (hover for its correlation with the index); the index itself is the grey last row. Click a column to sort.
  7. 7“Fundamentals and ratings” puts the companies side by side: technical rating, StockXpress Score, market cap, P/E, P/B, PEG, EV/EBITDA, return on equity, margins, revenue and EPS growth, debt/equity, dividend yield, RSI, 52-week position, 1-year return and next results date. The best value in each row is green; hover a row for what it means.
  8. 8In the correlation table, numbers near 1 mean the two move together; lower numbers diversify better.
  9. 9Remove a symbol with the × on its chip. The address bar keeps your list, so you can bookmark or share the comparison.

Only dates all symbols (and the benchmark) share are used, so a stock that listed recently shortens the period.

Tick stocks in the table and press “Add to watchlist” to save them.

On a narrow screen the table shows the main columns; turn the phone sideways or use a wider window to see per-year return, drawdown and best/worst day.

Options chain & strategy builder

Calls and puts for any US stock or ETF (and Indian stocks and indices when the live India feed is connected) with open interest, implied volatility, Greeks, put/call ratio, max pain, the implied move and a strategy builder that draws the profit and loss of any combination of options.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Options Chain” from the menu, or press “Options” on a stock page.
  2. 2Choose “Stock / ETF” and type a symbol (e.g. SPY, AAPL), or choose “India index” and pick NIFTY, BANKNIFTY…
  3. 3Pick an expiry from the drop-down (by default the first one at least a week away).
  4. 4Read the summary: spot price, days to expiry, at-the-money implied volatility, the implied move (how much the market prices in by expiry), the put/call open-interest ratio and max pain.
  5. 5The “Open interest by strike” chart shows where most calls (green) and puts (red) are open; big clusters often act as support or resistance.
  6. 6In the chain, calls are on the left and puts on the right of the strike column. Shaded cells are in the money; the highlighted row is closest to the current price. Turn “Greeks” off to see a shorter table.
  7. 7To try a strategy, go to “Strategy builder” and press a ready-made one: Long call, Long put, Bull call spread, Bear put spread, Bull put spread (credit), Bear call spread (credit), Long straddle, Long strangle, Iron condor, Call butterfly, Call calendar, Put calendar or Diagonal call. Its legs are filled in with strikes near the current price.
  8. 8Change any leg: Buy or Sell, Call or Put, the strike (from the chain), its expiry and the number of contracts or lots. “Add leg” adds another (up to 8); the × removes one. Prices are the mid of each option’s bid and ask.
  9. 9Calendar and diagonal spreads: give a leg a later expiry in its date box (up to 3 different dates). Calendars sell this expiry and buy the same strike on a later one (profit if the price stays near the strike); a diagonal buys a deeper in-the-money call on a later date and sells an out-of-the-money call now. The chart then shows the profit on the first expiry, with the later legs valued by the Black-Scholes model.
  10. 10Read the result: net debit (you pay) or credit (you receive), maximum profit and maximum loss (“unlimited” when there is no cap), breakeven prices, the chance of profit at expiry and the position’s delta and theta.
  11. 11The payoff chart shows profit (green) and loss (red) at expiry for every price, plus a dashed line for today. Dotted lines mark the current price and breakevens; the shaded band is the expected move by expiry. Hover to read the profit or loss at any price.

Open interest analysis (Indian indices and NSE F&O stocks): under the summary, the “Open interest analysis” card reads NSE’s option chain for the chosen expiry. It shows the OI bias for today, PCR on total OI and on today’s change, max pain, support (the strike with the most put OI) and resistance (the most call OI), where the most new puts and calls were written today, and the OI range between support and resistance.

The bar chart shows today’s change in call OI (red) and put OI (green) at each strike; the table shows each strike’s OI, OI change, price and change, and the buildup for calls and puts: Long buildup (price up, OI up), Short buildup (price down, OI up), Short covering (price up, OI down), Long unwinding (price down, OI down). The at-the-money strike is shaded. It refreshes every 2 minutes.

Greeks are Black-Scholes estimates from each option's own price; outside market hours implied volatility is solved from the last price.

Indian option chains need the live India feed; until it is connected the page says so.

Chance of profit, the “today” line and the Greeks of a strategy are model estimates (Black-Scholes with each option’s implied volatility); amounts are for the whole position, already multiplied by the contract size (100 shares in the US, the lot size in India).

A calendar or diagonal depends on what the later option is worth on the first expiry, which changes with implied volatility: if volatility falls, the real result can be lower than the chart.

Earnings calendar

Upcoming quarterly results for the stocks in your watchlists and paper portfolios, and for the most-followed US and Indian large caps.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Research” → “Earnings calendar” in the menu.
  2. 2“My stocks” (signed in) lists results due in the next 90 days for every stock in your watchlists and paper portfolios. “Popular USA” and “Popular India” cover the largest companies for the next 60 days.
  3. 3Each row shows the date (“estimated” when the company has not confirmed it), how many days away it is and the consensus EPS and revenue estimates.
  4. 4Click a row to see the results card: the move options are pricing in for the next results (when the stock has listed options) next to the stock’s usual next-day move, then the beat rate, the average EPS surprise, beats and misses, and how the stock moved after each of its last results (gap, next day, 5 days).
  5. 5The chart compares the EPS estimate (grey) with the actual EPS (green for a beat, red for a miss) for each quarter, with the next-day move as a line.
  6. 6Tick stocks and press “Add to watchlist” to follow them, or sort and filter with the column headings.

Results dates move; check again close to the day. The daily watchlist email also lists results due in the next 7 days.

The options-implied move comes from the at-the-money straddle of the first expiry after the results date, so it also includes the ordinary price swings until that expiry: read it as an upper-side guide.

The same results card is on each stock page under the “Earnings” tab.

IPO centre

Indian IPOs open for bidding, the ones coming next, those waiting to list, and how recent listings are doing, with live subscription from NSE.

Open page
  1. 1Open “IPOs & funds” → “IPO centre” in the menu.
  2. 2Pick a tab: “Open now” (bidding is on), “Upcoming” (dates announced), “Closed” (bidding over, waiting to list) or “Recently listed”. The page opens on the first tab that has something in it.
  3. 3Each IPO card shows the board (Mainboard or SME), the price band, the shares on offer to bidders (the anchor-investor portion is not included), the bidding dates with a countdown, and how many times it is subscribed so far (the bar fills up to 1×; green means fully subscribed).
  4. 4Press “Subscription by investor type & details” to see the subscription for institutions (QIB), HNIs, retail investors and employees, plus key facts (lot size, minimum order, retail limit, lead managers, registrar) and links to the offer documents.
  5. 5On “Recently listed”, see each IPO’s issue price, today’s price and the gain since issue. Click a company to open its stock page, or tick rows and press “Add to watchlist”.

“Gain since issue” compares today’s price with the IPO price; it is not the listing-day gain.

Subscription numbers update during bidding hours (10 am to 5 pm); the page refreshes every 5 minutes.

SME IPOs are smaller companies with bigger minimum investments and higher risk.

StockXpress does not show grey-market premium (GMP): it is unofficial and not published by any exchange.

FII/DII & deals

Where the big money moved in Indian shares: foreign and domestic institutions, bulk and block deals, and upcoming dividends, splits, bonuses and board meetings.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Markets” → “FII/DII & deals” in the menu.
  2. 2“FII / DII”: the two cards show how much foreign institutions (FII/FPI) and domestic institutions (DII: mutual funds, insurers, banks) bought, sold and net bought on the latest trading day, in ₹ crore. Green means net buyers, red net sellers. The bar chart below adds one day for every trading day.
  3. 3“Bulk & block deals”: switch between bulk deals (one party traded over 0.5% of a company in a day) and block deals (single trades of ₹10 crore or more). Each row shows the buyer or seller, Buy/Sell, shares, average price and value; it is sorted by value.
  4. 4“Corporate actions”: upcoming dividends, bonus issues, splits, rights and buybacks with their ex-date and record date. Use the Action funnel to show only dividends, for example.
  5. 5“Board meetings”: upcoming meetings to approve results, dividends or fund raising. Use the Purpose funnel to keep only “Financial Results”.
  6. 6Click a stock to open its page; tick rows and press “Add to watchlist” to follow them. You can link straight to a tab, e.g. /institutional?tab=deals.

FII/DII figures are NSE’s provisional numbers for the cash market, published after the close.

To get a dividend or bonus you must hold the shares before the ex-date (buying on the ex-date is too late).

Mutual funds

Every Indian mutual fund with today’s NAV, its returns and risk, a SIP check on its real NAV history, and side-by-side comparison.

Open page
  1. 1Open “IPOs & funds” → “Mutual funds” in the menu.
  2. 2Type at least 3 letters of a fund or fund house in the search box (e.g. “parag parikh”) and pick a suggestion to open that fund, or press Enter to list every match.
  3. 3Or browse: pick a type (Equity, Debt, Hybrid…), then a category chip such as “Large Cap Fund” or “Flexi Cap Fund”. Direct / Regular and Growth / IDCW switch the plan and payout option (Direct Growth is shown first because it has the lowest costs).
  4. 4Open a fund to see its NAV, returns for 1 month up to 10 years (3 years and more as return per year), the NAV chart (1Y, 3Y, 5Y, All) and its risk: how much it swings (volatility) and its worst fall from a peak.
  5. 5“If you had started a SIP…”: enter a monthly amount and pick 1–15 years to see what a SIP on the 1st of every month would be worth today, bought at the fund’s real NAVs, with the yearly return (XIRR).
  6. 6To compare, tick up to 5 funds in the list (or press “Add to compare” on a fund page), then press “Compare” in the bar at the bottom: you get how ₹10,000 grew in each over 1, 3 or 5 years, and their returns and risk side by side.

Past returns do not guarantee future returns. Exit loads, expense changes and taxes are not included in the SIP check.

NAVs are published once a day after market close, so today’s NAV appears in the evening.

Your compare picks are remembered on this device.

Calculators

Quick money calculators: SIP (with yearly step-up), lumpsum, loan EMI, fixed deposit, recurring deposit and retirement.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Planning & tools” → “Calculators” in the menu, then pick a calculator from the tabs.
  2. 2Drag a slider or type a number in the box next to it and press Enter; the results and charts update straight away.
  3. 3SIP and Lumpsum: see what you invest, the estimated gains and the final value, with a year-by-year chart. In SIP, “Increase SIP every year by” models a step-up SIP.
  4. 4Loan EMI: see the monthly EMI, the total interest and how much principal and interest you pay each year.
  5. 5Fixed deposit / Recurring deposit: see the maturity value and interest; for FDs choose how often interest is added (most banks: quarterly).
  6. 6Retirement: enter your age, retirement age, monthly expenses and savings. It shows, step by step, what your expenses will cost then, the money you need on retirement day, and the monthly SIP that gets you there.

These are estimates at fixed rates you choose; real market returns go up and down.

To check what a SIP in a real fund would have earned, use “If you had started a SIP…” on any fund page under Mutual funds.

You can link straight to a calculator, e.g. /calculators?tab=emi.

Watchlists: create, bulk add, copy and remove

Keep any number of lists of stocks with live prices, and add or remove many stocks at once.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Watchlists” from the menu and press “New watchlist”.
  2. 2Type a name. Optionally paste stocks to start with, separated by commas, spaces or new lines (e.g. AAPL, MSFT, NSE:TCS), then press “Create watchlist”.
  3. 3To add one stock, type at least 3 letters in the “Add a stock” box on a watchlist and pick a suggestion.
  4. 4To add many at once, press “Add many” on a watchlist, paste your list and press “Add stocks”. Duplicates are skipped and invalid symbols are listed.
  5. 5From the Screener, Markets or Market stats: tick the stocks you want, press “Add to watchlist” in the bottom bar, then choose an existing list or “Create new watchlist”.
  6. 6To copy stocks to another list: tick them in a watchlist, press “Copy to watchlist” and choose the target list.
  7. 7To remove several stocks: tick them and press “Remove from …” in the bottom bar. Use the × on a row to remove one.
  8. 8Rename a list with the pencil icon next to its name; delete it with the bin icon.
  9. 9Use “Columns” above your lists to switch every list between Price (price, change, volume), Technical (technical rating, RSI, 52-week range bar, 1-year return) and Fundamental (market cap, P/E, next results date, with a badge when results are within 14 days). Your choice is remembered.
  10. 10Outside regular US hours, US stocks show a small line under the price with the pre-market (sunrise icon, “Pre”) or after-hours (moon icon, “After hrs”) price and its change against the regular close. Hover it to see when the price was set.
  11. 11Click any column heading to sort a list (for example by technical rating or P/E); the funnel icon filters it (for example change above 2%).
  12. 12Press the download icon on a list to save it as a CSV file with all the Technical and Fundamental columns.

Press the envelope button on a watchlist card to get its prices by email every 10, 30 or 60 minutes (or your own interval) while the market is open, with the old and new price, profit/loss % and a Buy / Sell / Hold signal. Manage these emails on the Alerts page.

A watchlist holds up to 200 stocks and you can have up to 50 watchlists.

On a stock page, “Watch” lets you add the stock to any list or create a new one.

ETFs, indices and other instruments get their technical columns from their own price history; valuation columns apply to stocks only.

Price, indicator & saved-screen alerts

Get notified in the app (and by email) when a stock’s price or an indicator crosses the level you choose, or when a new stock matches one of your saved screens.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Alerts” and press “Alert” (or press “Alert” on any stock page).
  2. 2Choose the symbol (type 3+ letters for suggestions).
  3. 3Fastest: press a “Quick setup”, for example Price 5% higher, Down 5% in a day, Crosses above 200-day average, Golden cross, RSI oversold, Volume spike, Rating turns Strong buy, News turns negative / positive, or Bullish / Bearish candlestick pattern. It fills in the form; you can still change any box.
  4. 4Or set it up yourself: choose the type, Price or Indicator (daily data: change today, price vs 50/200-day average, 50-day vs 200-day average, RSI, Stochastic, technical rating, volume vs average, bullish or bearish candlestick pattern, headline tone over the last 24 hours, MACD, ADX, moving averages, ATR, VWAP). The line under the indicator explains its values.
  5. 5Choose a condition: Crosses above, Crosses below, Is above or Is below, and enter the value. When you open the dialog from a stock page the value starts at the current price; a price alert needs a value above 0.
  6. 6Check the grey sentence at the bottom (for example “Alert me when AAPL Price vs 200-day average crosses above 0%”): it says exactly what will trigger the alert.
  7. 7Turn on “Keep active after triggering” if you want repeated notifications: it fires again each time the condition starts to hold (for “Is above”, once when the price moves above the level, and again only after it has dropped back below and risen above it again). Otherwise the alert switches off after it fires once.
  8. 8Leave “Also email me when it triggers” on to get an email as well, or switch it off for in-app pop-ups only.
  9. 9Press “Create alert”. Alerts are checked every 30 seconds; a pop-up appears when one triggers while you have the app open, and the email arrives even when the app is closed.
  10. 10Use the switch to pause an alert, the bin to delete it, and “Recent triggers” to see history.
  11. 11Click a column heading to sort your alerts (for example by last value or trigger date) and use the funnel to filter them.
  12. 12“Saved screen alerts” lists the saved screens you get alerts on, with how many stocks match now and the latest new matches. Press “Open” to run the screen or “Manage” to check it now, switch email on or off, or turn the alert off. Turn one on from the Screener: “My screens”, then the bell.
  13. 13Price update emails: to get a stock’s or a watchlist’s prices by email every few minutes, press “Email me updates” on the stock page, the envelope button on a watchlist card, or in the “Price update emails” card on this page.
  14. 14In the dialog pick the stock or the watchlist, then how often: 10 min, 30 min, 1 hour, or “Custom” and type any number of minutes from 10 to 1440. Press “Start emails”.
  15. 15Each email lists every stock with its old price (the price in your previous email; the first email compares with the price when you set it up), the new price, the profit or loss in percent and a technical signal: Buy, Sell or Hold (with “strong” when most indicators agree).
  16. 16Manage them in the “Price update emails” card: change “Every”, pause with the switch, press the paper-plane button to send one now (to try it), or the bin to delete.

“Price vs 200-day average” crossing above 0 means the price crossed above its 200-day average; “50-day vs 200-day average” crossing above 0 is a golden cross, below 0 a death cross.

Your active price alerts are drawn on the stock’s chart when “My alerts” is on.

“Headline tone (24 h)” is the net tone of the stock’s headlines from the last 24 hours (−100 all negative … +100 all positive, the same word count as on the News page). It needs at least 3 headlines, so a single story never triggers it. “News turns negative” fires when it crosses below −30.

Price update emails are sent only while that stock’s market is open (India 9:15 to 15:30 IST, US 9:30 to 16:00 New York time), so a watchlist with Indian and US stocks gets the Indian ones in Indian hours and the US ones in US hours. A watchlist email includes its first 25 stocks; you can have up to 10 price emails.

The technical signal is the same rating as the stock page’s Technicals card (moving averages and oscillators on daily bars). It describes the chart; it is not advice.

“Bullish / Bearish candlestick pattern” is 1 when today’s daily candle completes one of the classic patterns (hammer, engulfing, morning star, shooting star, evening star…) and 0 otherwise, so “is above 0.5” fires when one appears; the message names the pattern. Today’s candle is still forming during the session, so a pattern seen at 11:00 can be gone by the close: check the chart before acting.

Paper portfolio (practice trading)

Practise buying and selling with virtual money and track profit & loss, allocation and performance.

Open page
  1. 1Open “Paper Portfolio” and press “New portfolio”. Enter a name, starting cash and currency.
  2. 2In “Trade”, choose a symbol (3+ letters for suggestions), Buy or Sell, and a quantity. A rupee (INR) portfolio holds Indian (NSE/BSE) stocks and a US dollar portfolio holds US stocks, ETFs and crypto; a bare ticker such as TCS is read as NSE in an INR portfolio and as US in a USD portfolio.
  3. 3Leave Price empty to fill at the current market price, or type a price to record a past trade. Type a fee in the Fee box if you like (empty = no fee).
  4. 4Press “Place”. Cash, holdings, unrealized and realized profit update automatically.
  5. 5The cards at the top show equity, “Today” (how much your holdings made or lost today), cash, market value and profit.
  6. 6The Performance chart compares your portfolio with the S&P 500 (USD portfolios) or the Nifty 50 (INR portfolios): the dashed line is your starting value invested in the index instead. Choose 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y or 3Y; the chart starts at your first trade.
  7. 7Switch the Allocation donut between Stocks and Sectors.
  8. 8“Risk & returns” shows, for the chosen period: your return, the index return and the difference, XIRR (the yearly return of your buys, sells and what you still hold, like a broker shows), volatility, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, beta and correlation with the index, and your best and worst day. Hover a line for what it means.
  9. 9Review the Holdings table.
  10. 10The “Dividends” card shows what your trades earned from real dividends: “Received so far”, the “Last 12 months”, an estimate for the “Next 12 months” (what you hold now × each stock’s dividends per share over the last year) and your yield on cost. A stock counts for a dividend when you bought it before its ex-dividend date and still held it that day.
  11. 11Below that, “Coming ex-dividend dates” lists the next ex-dates of what you hold with the expected amount, the table shows each stock’s dividends received, last dividend, dividends per share over 12 months, yield on cost and current yield, and “Every payment” lists each dividend (shares × dividend per share).
  12. 12Press “Analyze” in “AI portfolio analyst” for a review of concentration, sector mix and risk (sign-in and AI required). Press “History” there to see earlier reviews.
  13. 13To bring in your real holdings or trades, press “Import from broker” in the Trade card. Choose the CSV your broker exports (Zerodha holdings or tradebook, Groww, Upstox, Robinhood, or any file with symbol, quantity and price columns) or paste it, then press “Preview”. Check the rows and press “Import”. If the portfolio does not have enough starting cash, tick “Add the missing cash” first.
  14. 14Delete a mistaken trade with the bin icon in Transactions. Switch between portfolios with the drop-down at the top.
  15. 15Sort Holdings or Transactions by any column (for example biggest unrealized profit first) and filter them with the funnel icon.

Capital gains & tax: the “Capital gains & tax” card lists every sale, lot by lot (first in, first out), as short term or long term, for the financial year you pick (April to March for rupee portfolios). Hover the term to see how many days a lot was held.

For rupee portfolios it estimates the tax with India’s rules for listed shares: short-term gains at 20%, long-term gains at 12.5% above the ₹1.25 lakh yearly exemption (the old 15% / 10% / ₹1 lakh for sales before 23 July 2024), short-term losses set off against long-term gains, plus 4% cess. It also shows losses to carry forward.

“Ways to save tax this year” suggests booking losses against this year’s gains, using the unused ₹1.25 lakh long-term exemption (sell and buy back), and waiting a few weeks when a winning lot is about to turn long term. It is an estimate for practice trades, not tax advice.

No real money is involved. You cannot sell more shares than you hold or spend more cash than you have.

Trades in another currency are refused (a US stock cannot go into an INR portfolio): create a second portfolio in that currency. Broker-import rows in another currency are listed as skipped.

Dividends are shown for information and are not added to the paper cash, so cash, profit and the performance chart are price-only. Yield on cost = next 12 months’ estimate ÷ what you paid; current yield uses today’s price.

AI analyst & stock comparison

AI explains platform-calculated data for a stock or compares up to five stocks. It never invents prices.

Open page
  1. 1Sign in and open “AI Analyst”.
  2. 2On “Stock analyst”, type 3+ letters (e.g. “aapl”) and click a suggestion, or press Enter. The analysis starts automatically and the chosen ticker stays in the box.
  3. 3Wait for the “Analyzing…” card (usually 10–30 seconds). The result shows stance, confidence, technical and fundamental views, key levels, risks and catalysts. The AI now also weighs the StockXpress score, the analyst consensus and price target, candlestick patterns of the last 10 sessions, and the stock’s support and resistance levels, so key levels can include the nearest support and resistance.
  4. 4Press “Analyze again” for a fresh run. Recent analyses are listed under the result; click one to reopen it.
  5. 5On “Compare stocks”, add 2 to 5 stocks, then press “Compare” to see a side-by-side table and AI strengths and weaknesses.
  6. 6Every result is saved automatically: reloading the page shows the same answer, and “AI history” (top right) lists everything you have run.
  7. 7Every number shown comes from the platform’s calculations; “Data gaps” lists anything that was missing.

AI output is informational only and is not investment advice.

Each account can get 20 new AI answers a day across the AI Analyst, Compare, AI portfolio analyst, AI screener, News AI brief, Planner explanation and AI Playbook. Reopening a saved answer from “AI history” is free. The count starts again at 00:00 UTC (05:30 India time); the AI assistant chat has its own daily limits.

AI assistant (chat button)

The round chat button at the bottom right of every page opens an assistant that chats about anything, answers with live data from StockXpress, analyses stocks and portfolios, suggests stocks with a clear buy / sell view (with a disclaimer), explains how to use the app, and can add stocks to a watchlist, create an alert or open a page after you press Confirm.

  1. 1Sign in, then press the round chat button (bottom right of any page at first). On a phone the chat fills the screen; on a computer it opens as a panel next to the button.
  2. 2Put the chat where you like: drag the round button to any spot on the screen (on phones too); a short click opens the chat. On a computer, drag the panel by its top bar to move it, and drag any edge or corner to make it bigger or smaller. Double-click the top bar, or press the expand button (two arrows), to make it large; press it again to go back. The target button puts the panel back next to the chat button at its normal size. Your layout is remembered on this device.
  3. 3Type a question and press Enter (Shift+Enter starts a new line), or tap one of the suggestions. Examples: “How is the market today?”, “Price of Reliance and TCS”, “How do I make an alert?”.
  4. 4Under the message box, “Auto” (the default) picks the right model for each question by itself: a fast model for everyday chat, an analysis model when you ask to analyse, review or compare, and our most capable model when you ask for advice.
  5. 5For a deeper look, ask to analyse something (“Analyse TCS”, “Review my portfolio”, “Compare HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank”) or choose “Analysis” before sending. The answer is marked “In-depth analysis”.
  6. 6For a buy / sell view, ask for advice (“Should I buy Infosys?”, “Suggest good stocks to buy”, “Best dividend stocks in India”, “Where should I put the stop-loss on TCS?”) or choose “Expert advice”. The assistant screens the market, checks the score, trend, valuation, analyst ratings and news of each stock, and answers with a verdict (Strong buy … Avoid), conviction, time horizon, reasons, risks and a buy zone, stop-loss and targets calculated by StockXpress from support, resistance and the average daily range.
  7. 7Read the yellow disclaimer under every expert answer: it is information, not investment advice. StockXpress is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, and markets carry risk.
  8. 8When the assistant offers to do something (add stocks to a watchlist, create an alert, open a page) a card appears under its answer. Press “Confirm” to do it or “Cancel” to skip. Nothing changes until you confirm.
  9. 9Stocks the assistant looked up appear as chips under the answer; click one to open its stock page.
  10. 10The assistant remembers today’s chat (up to 50 questions and answers), so follow-ups like “and Infosys?” or “why?” work, also after a reload or on another device. It is deleted automatically at the daily reset, 00:00 UTC (05:30 India time).
  11. 11Close the panel with the X (or Esc): your chat stays and is there again when you reopen it. To start over, press the new-chat button (pencil) and confirm with “Delete chat”; “Cancel” keeps it.

Every price and figure comes from StockXpress data at that moment; when a source is delayed the answer says so. Levels such as stop-loss and targets follow fixed rules, never the AI’s guess.

Each account can send 50 messages a day, including 10 in-depth analyses and 5 expert-advice answers (they reset at 00:00 UTC). Hover over “Expert advice” to see how many are left. When they run out you get an in-depth analysis or a quick answer instead.

A short follow-up straight after an analysis or advice answer (“and Wipro?”) gets the same kind of answer. Questions about the app and commands such as “/help”, “help” or “how do I add an alert?” always get a quick answer.

It answers in the language you write in, and in your site language by default.

AI Playbook (12 analyst prompts)

Ready-made analyst prompts for India and the USA: stock teardown, swing setup, position sizing, earnings, sector rotation, pre-market plan, options strategy, devil’s advocate, portfolio health, trade journal, short interest (USA) and trading coach. StockXpress computes every number; the AI explains them bluntly.

Open page
  1. 1Sign in and open “AI Playbook” in the menu.
  2. 2Choose the market with the India / USA switch at the top. Only the prompts available for that market are shown (Short interest is USA only).
  3. 3Find a prompt: type 3+ letters in the search box (e.g. “swing”, “options”, “earnings”) and click a suggestion, or press Enter to show only the matching cards. The category buttons (Research, Trading, Risk…) narrow the cards too.
  4. 4Click a card. Its form opens with the inputs that prompt needs; fields marked * are required. Stock boxes suggest stocks of the chosen market after 3 letters (a bare ticker like TCS is read as NSE:TCS in India).
  5. 5Optional: under “Documents”, press “Upload files” to add an annual report, 10-K, concall transcript or a CSV of trades (PDF with text, TXT, CSV, TSV, MD or JSON, up to 15 MB). Tick the documents to use in this run (up to 8). Uploaded files are kept for 7 days; the bin icon deletes one.
  6. 6Open “Prompt the AI receives” to read the exact wording; words in braces are filled in from your inputs.
  7. 7Press “Run” and wait 10–40 seconds. The answer shows the verdict and conviction (where the prompt asks for one), the AI’s sections, red flags, what to do, what would prove it wrong, the levels to watch, and every table StockXpress computed.
  8. 8The address bar keeps the result, so a reload or a bookmark shows the same answer. “Run again” runs it with the same inputs for fresh data; “All prompts” goes back to the cards.
  9. 9Every run is saved in AI history (type “AI Playbook”). There, “Run again” opens this page with the original inputs filled in, ready to change and run.

Each prompt has a daily limit per user (shown on its card as “Used today x/limit”); it resets at 00:00 UTC.

Anything the data feeds cannot supply (e.g. FII/DII flows, promoter pledge, guidance) is listed under “Data gaps”, never guessed. Paste figures in the notes box or upload a document to have them considered.

Indian option chains need the live India feed and work once it is connected.

India sector comparisons use the Nifty sector index where its price history is available (Bank, IT, Pharma) and otherwise an ETF that tracks the same index, named in the table (e.g. “Nifty Auto (AUTOBEES ETF)”).

Tables of stocks in a result can be ticked and added to a watchlist in one go.

AI output is informational only and is not investment advice.

AI history (saved AI results)

Every AI result (stock analysis, comparison, portfolio review, AI screener, news sentiment, investment plan, AI Playbook run) is saved so you can reopen it after a reload, filter it or delete it.

Open page
  1. 1Sign in and open “AI History” in the menu, or press the “AI history” / “History” button on any AI page.
  2. 2Use the type buttons (All, Stock analysis, Comparison, Portfolio review, AI screener, News sentiment, Investment plan, AI Playbook) to filter the list.
  3. 3To find something, type 3+ letters in the search box: matching titles appear as suggestions with the match highlighted. Click one to open it, or press Enter to filter the list.
  4. 4Click a title (or the eye icon) to view the saved result exactly as it was shown. Use “Run again” for a fresh analysis on the original page (for AI Playbook runs the form opens with your original inputs filled in).
  5. 5To share a result, open it and press “Share”, then “Create link” and copy the link. Anyone with the link sees the result read-only (no sign-in; your account and inputs are not shown). Press “Share” → “Turn link off” to stop sharing. AI Playbook answers also have a “Share” button right on the result.
  6. 6To delete one entry, press its bin icon and confirm.
  7. 7To delete several, tick their checkboxes (or the top checkbox to select the whole page) and press “Delete selected”. “Delete all” removes everything in the current filter.
  8. 8Use “Sort by” to order the whole history: newest or oldest first, title A to Z / Z to A, or by type.
  9. 9Change “Rows per page” to 25, 50, 100 or 500 and use the arrows to move between pages.

Saved results show the figures from the time they were created; run again for current data.

Your history is private to your account. The newest 1,000 results are kept.

Investment planner (scenarios)

Turn an amount, target return and time frame into a scenario plan with entry, target and stop zones.

Open page
  1. 1Sign in and open “Investment Planner”.
  2. 2Add up to 10 stocks (type 3+ letters and pick suggestions).
  3. 3Enter the investment amount, choose a target return (1%, 2%, 5%, 10% or Custom) and a duration (5h to 12m, or Custom hours).
  4. 4Choose a risk level: Low, Medium or High (controls position sizes and how far away stops are).
  5. 5Optionally turn on “Add AI explanation”, then press “Build scenarios”. Every plan is saved in “AI history” (button at the top right).
  6. 6Read the target value and profit, the expected move, hit probability and feasibility, then each stock’s entry, target and stop zones and risk/reward.
  7. 7Click a heading in the per-stock table to sort it (zones sort by their lower end).

These are hypothetical scenarios based on past volatility, never guaranteed returns.

Backtesting strategies

Test how a trading rule would have performed on years of real prices, and find the settings that worked best.

Open page
  1. 1Sign in and open “Backtesting”.
  2. 2Choose a symbol (3+ letters for suggestions), a strategy and a timeframe. Strategies: SMA crossover, Golden cross (50 / 200), EMA crossover, MACD signal cross, Supertrend, Donchian / turtle breakout, Channel breakout, RSI mean reversion, RSI dip in an uptrend and Bollinger reversion. The sentence under the boxes explains the chosen rule.
  3. 3Adjust the strategy settings and starting capital. Lookback settings are whole numbers from 2 to 500, a fast average must be shorter than the slow one, and RSI “buy below” must be under “sell above”; a clear message tells you which box to fix.
  4. 4Optional risk controls: Stop loss % (sell if the price falls that far below your entry), Trailing stop % (sell if it falls that far below its highest point since you bought), Take profit % and fees. Turn on the trend filter to only buy while the price is above its 200-bar average.
  5. 5Press “Run backtest”. The sentence on top says whether the strategy beat buy & hold; the cards show total return, buy & hold, CAGR, max drawdown, Sharpe, trades, win rate and profit factor. Press “More statistics” for Sortino, Calmar, time in market, average win and loss, best and worst trade, the longest losing streak and average holding time.
  6. 6The chart compares the strategy (solid) with buy & hold (dashed) and shows the drawdown underneath: how far the account was below its previous high at each point.
  7. 7The trades table lists every trade with dates, bars held, prices, profit and return after fees. Click a heading to sort (for example worst return first) or filter by exit reason (signal, stop, trailing stop, target).
  8. 8To find good settings, press “Find the best settings”. Choose one or two settings to vary with from / to / step (up to 12 values each), choose what to rank by (return, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, profit factor or win rate) and press “Run optimizer”. Each heatmap cell is a full backtest; hover for its results and click a cell (or “Use these settings”) to load those settings and run them.
  9. 9Your recent runs are listed at the bottom.

Past performance does not predict future results.

The single best cell of an optimizer run often does worse later (overfitting): prefer settings in a broad green area over one isolated best cell.

News, headline tone & AI sentiment

Read market headlines or the news for every stock in your watchlists, see whether the headlines lean positive or negative day by day, and ask the AI for a summary.

Open page
  1. 1Open “News”. Use the tabs at the top: “India” for Indian market news (Moneycontrol, Economic Times, Mint, Investing.com India and Nifty / Sensex headlines), “USA” for US market news (including The Wall Street Journal: markets, politics, economy and world news), or “My watchlists”. It opens on the market for where you are.
  2. 2The “Trending now” card at the top (also on the Home page) shows the stories several publishers are running right now, for example a US election night. Click a topic, such as “Midterm elections”, to see its newest headlines and which publishers carry it; click a headline to read it on the publisher’s site.
  3. 3To see one company’s news, type 3+ letters in the filter box and pick a suggestion (or press Enter / “Apply”).
  4. 4Signed in? Press “My watchlists” to see the news for the stocks in all your watchlists in one list, newest first. Pick one watchlist from the box next to it to narrow it down.
  5. 5The “Headline tone” card shows how the latest headlines lean: a net tone from −100 (all negative) to +100 (all positive), with the count of positive, neutral and negative headlines.
  6. 6The bar chart shows the net tone for each of the last 14 days (green = more positive headlines, red = more negative, grey = neutral). Hover a bar to see how many headlines that day had.
  7. 7In “My watchlists”, the stock chips under the chart show each stock’s headline count and tone. Click a chip to see only that stock’s headlines; click “All stocks” to see them all again.
  8. 8Each headline shows a “tone: positive / negative” label followed by small chips for what the headline is about: stocks (e.g. RELIANCE, TCS), indices (Nifty 50, Sensex, Nasdaq), currencies (USD/INR) and commodities (Gold, Crude oil). Each chip also shows the current price and today’s change: green when it is up today, red when it is down (refreshed every minute). Click a chip to open that stock’s or instrument’s page with its chart; click the headline to read the full article.
  9. 9Signed in? In “India” or “USA”, press “AI sentiment” for a one-line summary and an AI positive / negative / neutral label for each headline. Results are saved in “AI history”.
  10. 10In “My watchlists”, press “AI brief” for an AI summary of your watchlist’s news: the overall picture, recurring themes, one line per stock and a positive / negative / neutral label on each headline. It reads only the headlines on the page. Briefs are saved in “AI history”.

“Trending now” is found by counting the words in the last day and a half of headlines across all sources, not by AI. A topic needs at least three headlines from two or more feeds; it updates every five minutes and disappears when no story is that widely covered.

Headline tone is a simple word count (words like beat, surge, upgrade against miss, plunge, downgrade), not AI. It is fast and transparent but can misread a headline; use AI sentiment for a reading of the full story.

The daily trend fills in over time: headlines are kept for 60 days as they are collected, so a new stock starts with only a few days.

A stock’s page also has a “News” tab with the same tone card for that one stock.

News for Indian stocks is searched by the company name, so there may be fewer headlines than for large US stocks.

“USA” headlines are in English only: press releases in other languages that the news wires also carry are left out. A single stock’s news is not filtered.

Chips come from the names in the headline (for example “Rupee falls” → USD/INR, “Sensex, Nifty gain” → Sensex and Nifty 50), so a headline about a company we do not recognise has no chip.

The India and USA tabs also include headlines from news sites the site administrator added (each feed is set to India, USA or both); the source name is shown under each headline.

Where the data comes from

What the badges mean and why some numbers may be delayed or unavailable.

  1. 1Prices, charts and company details come from licensed market data feeds, with a backup feed if the main one is busy.
  2. 2Screener, movers, market stats and heatmap lists are picked by a whole-market scan. Their price and change % are real-time wherever a live feed answers (India with the live India feed connected, US stocks, Hong Kong and China), and top gainers / losers are re-ordered on the live change; the label then says “prices real-time” with no delay. Only rows without a live price keep the scan’s price, about 15 minutes delayed, and the label shows that delay.
  3. 3Indian prices are real-time when the live India feed is connected for the day; otherwise they are delayed about 15 minutes. The badges at the top of the Markets page say which applies right now.
  4. 4On the Markets page every row shows whether its price is live or delayed, so you can see exactly how fresh each price is.
  5. 5If no feed can supply data you will see “Market data unavailable”: StockXpress never shows made-up numbers.
  6. 6IPOs, FII/DII figures, bulk and block deals, corporate actions, board meetings and shareholding come from NSE’s public pages. Mutual fund NAVs come from AMFI (published once a day, after the market closes).
  7. 7All calculations (indicators, profit & loss, planner, backtests, fund returns, SIP results, calculators) are done by the platform; the AI only explains them.
Troubleshooting & FAQ

Quick fixes for common situations.
