Price Analysis

Price Analysis is the market-microstructure and price-action workspace inside a company’s Data Viewer. It goes underneath the headline price to show how a stock is actually trading: where large institutions are quietly executing off-exchange in dark pools, which venues are handling the volume and at which price levels, the real-time tape of trades and prices, multi-ticker performance comparisons, a full suite of technical indicators with buy/sell signals and pivot levels, and risk and correlation analytics versus the broader market and peers. It is built for US-listed securities with full real-time market-data coverage and is organized into six sections you pick from a row of buttons at the top of the page. Find it under Equities → Price Analysis for any US-listed company with full real-time market-data coverage. Users also call it the “Price Analysis tab,” the “market microstructure tab,” or “Data Viewer Price Analysis.”

​

What it is

Price Analysis is where you study trading dynamics rather than fundamentals — how a name is being bought and sold, not what it earns. Open a US-listed company in the Data Viewer, select Price Analysis, and choose one of six sections from the button row at the top:

• Dark Pools — off-exchange (ATS) activity versus price, with growth and trend metrics and a consolidated block-trade table, to infer institutional accumulation or distribution.
• Volume Footprint — where volume traded by price level (volume profile with the Point of Control), buy/sell imbalances, and a venue market-share breakdown.
• Live Quotes & Trades — a real-time tape: the latest trades, an OHLCV chart with VWAP, and live statistics including buy/sell pressure.
• Price Change Analysis — normalized price-performance comparison across many tickers over a custom window, with a ranked summary table and Excel/CSV export.
• Technical Indicators — a broad indicator library with per-indicator intervals, daily Buy/Sell signals and an overall verdict, and pivot-point support/resistance.
• Risk & Correlation — risk statistics, correlation discovery, pairwise stability, universe rankings, and a portfolio correlation matrix.

Most sections (all except Technical Indicators) can hand their current data to the AI assistant for interpretation, and Price Change Analysis adds spreadsheet exports. This is the microstructure-and-technicals destination; for general hands-on charting and markup use the Chart tab, and for fundamentals use Financials & Ratios, Comps, or Estimates.

​

When to use it

Reach for Price Analysis when the question is about how a stock is trading rather than what it is worth:

• Gauge institutional accumulation or distribution through dark-pool activity and off-exchange share.
• See where a stock’s liquidity sits across venues and at which price levels (volume profile / Point of Control).
• Watch the live tape and intraday price action, including buy-vs-sell pressure.
• Compare the price performance of a basket of tickers over a chosen window and rank winners and losers.
• Read technical-indicator signals and pivot support/resistance to time an entry or exit.
• Assess a stock’s risk profile — volatility, Sharpe, beta, drawdown — and how it correlates with the market, potential hedges, diversifiers, or a hypothetical portfolio.

​

When to use something else instead

Price Analysis is specifically for microstructure (dark pools, venues, footprint), the live tape, multi-ticker performance, technical signals, and risk/correlation analytics. The Chart tab is for general charting and drawing; the fundamentals tabs cover what the company earns and is worth.

​

How to use it

​

What you get

Price Analysis is six sections, each answering a different question about how the stock trades.

​

Dark Pools

Reveals off-exchange (dark-pool / ATS) trading so you can spot institutional accumulation or distribution that does not show on the lit tape.

• A Recent Darkpool Trends chart plots recent daily off-exchange volume (as an area) against the stock price (as a line) over roughly the last 30 days.
• A metrics column reports Overall Growth, Absolute Change, Trend Direction (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral), Average Daily Volume, the per-day volume for the first day, the last complete day and the prior day, the dollar-volume for the last complete day and the prior day, and the day-over-day change.
• A consolidated dark-pool trades table lists, newest first, the Consolidation Start time, Price, Size, Total Trade Value, Total Trades, Biggest Trade Size, Current Price, and Price Change % (the move since the trade). Trades are grouped into short time buckets.
• Add to AI Chat pushes the full table to the assistant. This section runs on sensible defaults (a recent multi-day window) — the detailed filter controls are not exposed here.

​

Volume Footprint

Shows where volume traded by price level and which venues handled it, so you can find high-volume price levels, buy-vs-sell imbalances, and venue/market-share shifts.

• A Filters panel sets the trading day, interval (1m / 5m / 15m / 1h) and lookback (1 / 3 / 5 / 10 days); press Update to apply.
• The main chart toggles between Volume Clusters — a volume-by-price profile with the Point of Control marked — and Imbalances, which shows the buy/sell imbalance by price.
• A Market Share donut breaks volume down by venue, with a Show % / Show Raw toggle and tiny venues grouped into “Other.”
• A Market Share By Venue bar chart compares each venue’s share over the period against its average and flags Notable Changes.
• An Intraday Trends panel shows volume-by-interval and cumulative-volume charts against the trailing average, with daily and average-daily totals.
• Add to AI Chat exports the footprint data (Point of Control, clusters, imbalances).

​

Live Quotes & Trades

A real-time view of the tape: the latest trades, an OHLCV chart with VWAP, and live statistics including buy/sell pressure.

• A compact statistics summary shows total Volume, Trades, VWAP, total Value, recent Low/High over the lookback window, a green/red buy-vs-sell pressure bar (from tick-rule up/down classification), and the top venues by volume.
• The main panel is an OHLCV price chart with a dashed VWAP line; the bar interval scales with the chosen refresh rate.
• The Time & Sales tape lists Time, Price (color-coded for up/down ticks), Size, Value, and Exchange, with unusually large trades highlighted and pagination at 100 rows per page.
• Auto-refresh can be set to Off, 1s, 30s, 1m, 5m, or 15m (defaults to 30s when the US market is open, Off when closed), with a manual refresh and a self-updating last-updated timestamp. When the market is closed it shows a Closed indicator and the last session’s date.
• A note states that quotes are sourced from ATS (Alternative Trading Systems) and that lit exchanges such as NYSE and NASDAQ are 15-minute or end-of-day delayed. Send to AI hands recent trades and stats to the assistant.

​

Price Change Analysis

Compares historical price performance across many tickers over a custom window to rank winners and losers and visualize relative performance.

• Add tickers by searching the global instrument universe by symbol or company name, or by importing a list from JSON, CSV, or plain text.
• Set a From / To date range (defaults to the last 30 days, capped at today) and press Analyze.
• A Performance chart normalizes each ticker to percent change from the start date, with an interactive legend to toggle tickers on/off and a click-and-drag gesture to compare the move between any two dates.
• A Summary table lists Ticker, Company, Start Price, End Price, Change ($), Change (%), High, Low, and Total Volume, with footer stats (total tickers, gainers, losers, average change, selected).
• Export the table to a styled Excel workbook or to CSV; Add to AI Chat sends the comparison (including daily detail) to the assistant.

​

Technical Indicators

Computes and visualizes technical indicators with per-indicator interval control, surfaces Buy/Sell/ Neutral signals and an overall verdict, and shows pivot-point support/resistance.

• A Daily Signals panel lists each indicator with its latest value and a Buy/Sell/Neutral reading, a green/neutral/red gauge with buy/sell/neutral counts, and an overall signal — Strong Buy, Buy, Neutral, Sell, or Strong Sell — decided by majority vote (for example RSI above 70 / below 30, MACD crossover, CCI at ±100, MFI at 80/20).
• A Pivots panel shows the prior close plus support/resistance levels (PP, R1–R3, S1–S3) with the percent distance from close, switchable across Classic, Woodie, Fibonacci, Camarilla, and DeMark methods.
• Below, you build a chart set: add or remove indicators from a searchable list, set a distinct interval per indicator (1m, 1H, 1D, 1W, 1M), choose a date range (defaults to the last ~14 days), and press Analyze. Defaults are RSI (1H), MACD (1H), and SMA (1D).
• Indicator charts support overbought/oversold reference lines, MACD-style histograms, and click-and-drag to read the change between two points.
• The supported indicators are broad — RSI, MACD, SMA, EMA, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ATR, ADX, CCI, Williams %R, MFI, ROC, Momentum, OBV, VWAP, Parabolic SAR, Accumulation/Distribution, Chaikin Oscillator, DEMA, TEMA, and WMA, among others.

​

Risk & Correlation

Quantifies a stock’s risk profile and how it moves relative to the market, peers, hedges, and a hypothetical portfolio, using rank correlations computed across a large equity universe.

• A period selector (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 3Y, 5Y; default 3Y) drives four views.
• Correlations shows a risk-statistics summary (Annualized Return, Annualized Volatility, Sharpe Ratio, Max Drawdown, Beta vs SPY, Skewness, Kurtosis, Observations), the average market correlation with the number of pairs compared, and a ranked correlations table. Buckets surface Most Correlated names, Best Hedges (most negative), or Diversifiers (near-zero).
• Pair Comparison computes the exact correlation between the current ticker and any chosen ticker and shows how that correlation has changed across periods (stability bars).
• Rankings lists the universe ranked by Beta, Sharpe Ratio, or Volatility; Beta and Volatility add a highest/lowest sort (Sharpe Ratio does not).
• Portfolio Matrix builds an equal-weight correlation heatmap from the current ticker plus added tickers (minimum two names), reporting holdings count, average correlation, annualized equal-weight portfolio volatility, a diversification rating (Good / Moderate / Poor), and a per-holding risk table.
• Correlations are Spearman rank correlations computed across a universe of roughly 10,000+ tickers. Add to AI Chat sends the risk and correlation results to the assistant.

​

Key capabilities at a glance

​

What you can take away

• Excel (.xlsx) export of the Price Change comparison — a professionally styled workbook.
• CSV export of the Price Change comparison.
• Data hand-off into AI Chat from most sections (all except Technical Indicators), as structured context for the assistant.

​

Data & sources

• Real-time consolidated exchange and dark-pool (ATS) market data powers Dark Pools, Volume Footprint and Live Quotes & Trades. It is available for US-listed securities with full real-time market-data coverage.
• Live trade venues identified on the tape include NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSE Arca, BATS, EDGA, EDGX, IEX, and ATS (off-exchange).
• Technical indicators and pivot points are computed from the platform’s historical and intraday price data across minute, hour, day, week, and month intervals.
• Risk statistics and correlations are computed from historical returns. Correlations are Spearman rank correlations across a universe of roughly 10,000+ tickers, with beta measured against SPY (the S&P 500).
• Price Change comparison and ticker search draw on the platform’s global instrument universe (symbol and company name).

​

Tips & best practices

• Read dark pools against price, not in isolation. Rising off-exchange volume with a Bullish trend can signal accumulation; the reverse can suggest distribution. Use the trend metrics for direction and the consolidated table for the size and timing of the blocks.
• Anchor levels on the Point of Control. In Volume Footprint, the price level with the most traded volume often acts as a magnet or support/resistance — pair it with the imbalance view to see whether buyers or sellers dominated that zone.
• Match the live tape’s refresh to the moment. Use 1s or 30s during active hours to follow prints in real time, and remember lit-exchange trades are delayed — the real-time edge is the off-exchange (ATS) flow and buy/sell pressure.
• Use drag-to-compare on the charts. In Price Change and the indicator charts, click and drag across two dates to read the exact move between them rather than eyeballing it.
• Set a separate interval per indicator. Run a fast oscillator on 1H and a trend line on 1D in the same chart set so each indicator is read on the timeframe it works best on.
• Use Risk & Correlation for construction, not just screening. Find Best Hedges and Diversifiers for a position, then drop the candidates into the Portfolio Matrix to see how the equal-weight book’s correlation and volatility actually change.
• Send the section to the assistant for the “why.” Most sections have an AI hand-off (all except Technical Indicators) — push the dark-pool table, the footprint, or the risk stats into Chat and ask what it implies.

​

Limits & things to know

• Live Quotes & Trades is real time for off-exchange (ATS) prints only. Lit-exchange trades (NYSE, NASDAQ, and others) are shown on a 15-minute or end-of-day delay.
• Auto-refresh options are Off, 1s, 30s, 1m, 5m, and 15m. The tape defaults to 30s during US market hours (Mon–Fri, 9:30am–4:00pm ET) and Off when the market is closed.
• The Time & Sales tape shows the latest ~500 trades (count-bounded, paginated at 100 per page), not a time window. The ~1-hour window during market hours and ~72-hour window when the market is closed governs the price chart and the live statistics — not the trades tape.
• Volume Footprint data settles overnight. The most recent selectable trading day is the previous completed weekday; weekends are not selectable, and the available history begins from a recent start date. Intervals are limited to 1m, 5m, 15m, and 1h, with a 1-, 3-, 5-, or 10-day lookback.
• Dark Pools detailed filters are not adjustable on screen. The section runs on default settings (a recent multi-day window, with the trends chart covering roughly the last 30 days).
• Risk & Correlation tables and rankings return up to 20 results at a time, the Portfolio Matrix requires at least two tickers, and the periods are fixed presets (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 3Y, 5Y; default 3Y).
• Beta is measured against SPY (the S&P 500) only.
• Technical Indicators charts default to the last ~14 days; longer windows require setting the date range manually.

​

Availability

Price Analysis appears only for US-listed securities with full real-time market-data coverage. It is hidden for Canadian-only and limited-data tickers — Canadian (.TO) listings are sent to the standard Data Viewer instead. If you do not see Price Analysis for a name, that ticker is not covered. Unlike Comps and the Chart tab, which work for limited-data names, Price Analysis is gated to full-market-data US tickers.

​

Works with other features

Price Analysis sits inside the Equities (Data Viewer) workspace, a per-company research surface that feeds the rest of the platform.

​

Example workflow

Goal: spot institutional accumulation, confirm the technical setup and risk, then package and scale the work.

1. Open the company in the Data Viewer and select Price Analysis → Dark Pools. Read the Recent Darkpool Trends chart and metrics — rising off-exchange volume with a Bullish trend hints at accumulation — then press Add to AI Chat and ask the assistant to summarize the block-trade pattern.
2. Switch to Volume Footprint, pick yesterday with a 5-day lookback, and note the Point of Control and any buy-side imbalance, plus where the volume is concentrating across venues.
3. Open Live Quotes & Trades during market hours, set auto-refresh to 30s, and watch the tape and buy/sell pressure to see whether the off-exchange flow is continuing in real time.
4. Go to Technical Indicators to confirm the timing — read the daily Buy/Sell signals and overall verdict, and check pivot support/resistance for entry levels.
5. Open Risk & Correlation, review beta, volatility, Sharpe, and drawdown over 1Y, then use Best Hedges and the Portfolio Matrix to see how the position fits a book.
6. Compare the name against its peers in Price Change over the same window, export to Excel, then ask Chat about the company to connect the microstructure read to news and fundamentals.
7. To scale it, run a Grid that asks the same price/technical questions across the peer group, and generate a stock research report for the name with Reports grounded in the same analysis.
