How to read StoxGud Live Flow in 2 minutes

Live Flow puts every NSE F&O stock on one screen while the market is open. It looks busy, but it is built to be read in one direction: the market → the sectors → the movers → one stock. Follow that order and two minutes is enough to know what kind of day it is and where the strength sits. Live Flow is part of StoxGud Premium.

1. The top bar: what kind of day is it?

The strip across the top shows NIFTY with its change for the day, then two counts: how many F&O stocks are bullish (trading above yesterday's close) and how many are bearish (below it). The bar next to them shows the same split as a picture.

• Bullish count far ahead: a broad up-day; most long setups have the market behind them.
• Bearish count far ahead: a broad down-day; long trades fight the tide.
• Close to even: a stock-picker's day; sectors matter more than the index.

The status line under it tells you whether the market is open and the time of the last bar. Data is minute data, refreshed every minute, and can run a few minutes behind the exchange. Live Flow follows NSE's trading calendar: on an exchange holiday it says Market holiday, names the holiday and shows the last session's closing board, and special sessions such as Muhurat trading are labelled with their own timing.

Market tab. Live Flow opens on the Market view. Its X-Ray draws every F&O stock as a dot at its move for the day: bullish stocks above the zero line, bearish ones below, grouped by sector from the lagging sector on the left to the leading one on the right, each named with its move, with the count for each side. The dashed line is NIFTY. Hover a dot to see the stock; click it to open its chart. Below it, Setups shows the five highest-scoring stocks on each side, and Sectors shows each sector's average move with one coloured segment per stock. The Flow tab is the full terminal described below (with a smaller X-Ray on top); ▲ Bull and ▼ Bear show the bullish or bearish board on its own.

2. The sector panels: where is the money going?

On the left, Positive sectors and Negative sectors list each sector with the average change of its F&O stocks, strongest first. A stock moving with its sector usually has more behind it than a stock moving alone. Read more in Market breadth and sectors.

3. The flow chart: the whole market in one picture

The middle chart draws one thin line per stock: its percentage change through the day, from 09:15 to now. Green lines are advancing stocks, red lines declining, and the white line is NIFTY. Two things to look for:

1. The shape of the crowd. Lines fanning steadily upward through the day is a trending market; lines bunched around zero is a choppy one.
2. The counts at the ends. The big numbers beside the chart repeat the bullish and bearish totals, and the bars along the edge show how many stocks sit at each level of gain or loss.

4. The top-15 boards: the 15 biggest movers on each side

The two boards list the 15 biggest gainers and the 15 biggest losers among F&O stocks. Each tile shows the symbol, the day's change, the price, a 0–99 score and the estimated buy share of the day's volume, with a small volume-at-price chart. The score says how convincing the move is, not just how big; see The Live Flow score explained.

A small ▲3 or ▼2 beside the rank shows how many places the stock moved in the score ranking since the previous minute, so fresh strength stands out. A stock that has just entered the top ten glows briefly.

5. The stock cards: one stock in detail

The right-hand column turns each top mover into a card:

Part of the card	What it means
Sector · #rank/of	The stock's sector and its rank by score among all stocks on its side
Badge, score, dots	Bullish or bearish, the 0–99 score, and 1–5 dots for conviction (the score in fifths)
% and price	Change from yesterday's close, last price and the rupee change
Candle flow	Estimated buy and sell share of the day's volume
Mini chart	The last 120 one-minute candles (the last two hours) with the 1-minute order blocks that reach into that window: boxes labelled BULL OB or BEAR OB with the time they formed, faded once price has closed through them; a time axis runs underneath. The whole day is in the stock's chart

An order block here is the last opposite candle before a strong move: for a bull block, the last down candle before a close at least 1.5 times the recent average range (ATR over 14 one-minute candles) above it, within three candles, that also clears the prior six candles' high (the mirror for a bear block). It stays active until a candle closes through its far side.

The card deliberately carries nothing else: no support, zone, target or R:R lines. Those levels live in the stock's chart, which opens when you click or tap the card (next section).

6. One stock's chart: zones and liquidity

Hover a tile or a card (tap it on a phone) to open the stock's chart without leaving the page. The Session view shows today's 5-minute candles with:

• every order-block zone of the day, drawn as a box over the part of the session where it formed and held (a box stops at the candle that broke it); only the current setup's zone is labelled
• liquidity lines: yesterday's high and low and today's swing highs/lows and equal highs/lows, where stop orders tend to gather; a line that price has traded through stops at that candle, marked ×
• the stop (S1 or R1), the targets (T1, T2) and up to three further levels behind the setup (P1–P3), where price could pause if it comes back

The stats (score, rank, R:R, buy share, VWAP and the levels) sit two to a line above the chart. Use ‹ Prev and Next › to step through the list, or search any F&O stock by name. The 1m, 15m and 1h views show earlier sessions. How the zones and lines are found is in Support, buy zone, target and R:R.

The 1m, 15m and 1h tabs show the same stock on other timeframes, with the order blocks for that timeframe (the 1m tab's are the ones drawn on the card). Two checkboxes add detail there: Liquidity draws the session's liquidity lines and Volume profile shows how much traded at each price.

On a phone the whole terminal stacks top to bottom: switch between the bullish and bearish boards, tap any stock for its chart in a sheet, and step to the next one with one tap. The board refreshes every minute without moving your place on the page.

The two-minute routine

1. Read the bullish and bearish counts: whose day is it?
2. Check the top and bottom sectors.
3. Glance at the flow chart: trending or choppy?
4. Pick the high-score names on the side the market favours, in the strongest sectors.
5. Click their cards to open the charts, and check that the zone, the stop level and the R:R in the stats make sense before anything else.

Live Flow shows what the market is doing right now. It does not tell you what it will do next; use it to focus your attention, and keep your own rules for entries, exits and position size.
